Further Momentum to Patriotic Movement Called for

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- The patriotic movement for independent reunification, peace against war and overall national unity embodies the three principles of national reunification and represents a way of conducting a patriotic struggle for implementing them, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed article. The three principles of national reunification -- independence, peaceful reunification and the great national unity -- constitute a cornerstone of national reunification as they elucidate the fundamental principles and ways of solving the problem of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the Koreans in line with the will and interests of the nation. They, at the same time, serve as a great programme for reunification common to the nation, which the north and the south confirmed in the July 4 joint statement and solemnly declared internally and externally, the article says, and goes on: The patriotic movement for independent reunification represents a practical action to thoroughly preserve and embody the principle of national independence. As stressed in the joint editorial, the patriotic movement for independent reunification calls for solving all problems arising in accomplishing the cause of reunification by putting the dignity and the interests of the nation above all as guided by the idea of "By our nation itself", making the Korean nation-first spirit of attaching importance to the nation prevail wherever Koreans reside and letting the strong hurricane of independent reunification rage across the land.
    The patriotic movement for peace against war represents a struggle to create a precondition for peaceful reunification.
    The validity of this movement lies in that it calls on all the Koreans to turn out in the struggle to resolutely foil the U.S. imperialists' moves to provoke a new war, reliably defend peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and completely remove the root cause of war from this land through a nationwide struggle for the pullback of the U.S. forces from south Korea.
    Now that the idea of "By our nation itself" has become an idea dominating the era, the movement for national reunification is being converted into a nationwide movement pushed forward by all the Koreans irrespective of ideology, system, political faction and affiliation.
    The patriotic movement for overall national unity serves as an effective means of injecting vitality into the cause of national reunification that has entered a new stage. Koreans can surely solve any problem arising in the cause of reunification when they turn out as one, steadily stoke the atmosphere of reconciliation and unity and boost the unity and solidarity among the organizations of the reunification movement.
    Specific ways of achieving national reunification may alter according to the changing situation. But its fundamental principle will never change and the Korean nation will surely accomplish the cause of national reunification on that basis.
