Appeal of Joint Meeting of DPRK Government, Political Parties and Organizations Supported

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

    Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- To keep the surging atmosphere of promoting national concord and unity is very important in launching a powerful patriotic campaign for great national unity this year to activate the movement for independent reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Sunday in a signed article. To achieve concord and great unity of the whole nation is a sure guarantee for reunifying Korea independently and peacefully, the article says, and goes on: Division of the nation and confrontation cannot be terminated nor can the country be reunified independently and peacefully without reconciliation and unity.
    The joint New Year editorial calls for keeping the surging atmosphere of promoting national reconciliation and unity. This is a very realistic and just appeal to realize great national unity and develop the movement for independent reunification. All the Koreans should keep the surging atmosphere of promoting national reconciliation and unity this year in response to the call of the joint editorial. "By our nation itself" is the banner of struggle for national reconciliation and unity. The attraction and vitality of the idea of "By our nation itself" are growing stronger day by day. All the Koreans should continue promoting reconciliation and unity, invariably holding high the banner of "By our nation itself".
    Aspiration and enthusiasm of the Korean nation for reconciliation and unity are remarkably high. It is necessary to conduct multifarious functions for reunification which will enhance the zeal for national reconciliation and unity this year, too, and make them grounds for great national unity. It is imperative to continue developing the work for inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation so as to make it conducive to independent reunification and common prosperity of the nation on the principle of "By our nation itself".
    It is also imperative to conduct a nation-wide struggle to shatter the moves of the separatist forces at home and abroad standing in the way of national reconciliation and unity.
    The article calls upon all the Koreans to categorically oppose and reject the unreasonable moves of the U.S. to put a spoke in the wheel of north-south relations and national unity and firmly defend the lineage of national independence. It also calls for checking and frustrating the desperate moves of the pro-U.S. conservative forces by great unity against conservatives in south Korea.
