Banner of "By Our Nation Itself" Should Be Held Higher: Rodong Sinmun

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

   Pyongyang, December 11 (KCNA) -- The Koreans in the north and the south of Korea and abroad should turn out as one man in a struggle to resolutely foil the outsiders' attempt to launch a new war and their moves against Korea's reunification with concerted efforts of the nation, keeping a tight hold on the banner of "By our nation itself" as the lifeline in achieving the country's reunification and carving out the destiny of the nation, says Rodong Sinmun Monday. Stating that there is no more influential ideological weapon than the idea of "By our nation itself" in achieving great national unity, the author of the article says:
    The Koreans can certainly overpower the outsiders bent on aggression and dynamically advance the cause of independent reunification of the country when they hold high the banner of national unity and cooperation, cherishing the idea of "By our nation itself."
    It is important to hold fast to the stand of putting the nation above all in all fields of inter-Korean relations and the reunification movement, if national unity and cooperation based on this idea is to be boosted.
    The stand of putting the nation above all calls for giving priority to the nation, approaching everything from the stand of defending the national dignity and meeting its interests and solving everything in reliance upon the strength of the nation itself.
    This view and stand categorically rejects flunkeyism and dependence on outsiders.
    Tripartite solidarity among Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should be further bolstered to give greater scope to the might of the driving force of the nation under the banner of "By our nation itself."
    Strengthened tripartite solidarity and its enhanced role are a sure guarantee for immensely boosting the might of the pro-reunification patriotic force of the nation itself.
    The eventful achievements made in improving the inter-Korean relations and developing the reunification movement in the wake of the publication of the June 15 joint declaration are all fruits of national cooperation brought by the patriotic enthusiasm and devotion of the three parties.
    History and reality clearly prove that tripartite solidarity whereby to wage a nation-wide joint struggle by pooling the patriotic strength and enthusiasm of all the fellow countrymen for reunification is a powerful driving force for accomplishing the cause of reunification.
    There is no doubt that the might and role of the patriotic force for reunification of the nation itself will be drastically enhanced when all the pro-reunification patriotic forces in the north, the south and overseas solidarize with one another in their organizations and social strata, achieve bilateral and multi-lateral solidarity and energetically wage diverse actions for solidarity and unity by enlisting all opportunities and possibilities.
    It is the requirement of the times and history for all the Koreans to achieve great national unity under the banner of "By our nation itself."
