Rodong Sinmun on Dignity and Interests of Nation

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

   Pyongyang, June 2 (KCNA) -- The joint New Year editorial stressed that the dignity and interests of the nation should be placed above anything else to resolve all problems arising in accomplishing the cause of reunification. This idea is very just and realistic as it is based on the essence of the issue of reunification and reflects the unanimous desire and intention of all Koreans. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a by-lined article.
    Only when the dignity and interests of the nation are placed above anything else and firmly defended can the members of the nation have the true pride and honor of independent humankind, the article says, calling for retaking the dignity and interests of the whole nation by putting an end to the domination and interference of the outsiders in south Korea and reunifying the country as early as possible.
    The idea of the joint editorial is the just and patriotic idea that calls forth sympathy from the whole nation, the article points out, and says:
    Defending the idea of "By our nation itself" is essential to implementing the idea of the joint editorial.
    All members of the nation should make it an iron rule to resolve all the problems arising in the inter-Korean relations and the reunification of the country in the idea of "By our nation itself". Only by doing so can they foil the obstructive moves of the foreign forces and the anti-reunification forces and develop the drive for inter-Korean reconciliation and cooperation and reunification into the patriotic work for the dignity and interests of the nation.
    They should resolutely struggle against the aggression and interference of the outsiders.
    The north and the south of Korea should reject the foreign interference in the settlement of the reunification issue and adhere to the principle of attaching priority and importance to the nation.
    The patriotic movement for independent reunification, peace against war and overall national unity is a sacred and patriotic struggle for the dignity and interests of the nation.
    All Koreans should vigorously conduct the three-point patriotic movement under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself" to open a new turning phase for the cause of reunification.
