Ushering in Heyday of Cause of Independent Reunification Urged

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

    Pyongyang, January 4 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Thursday calls for adding brilliance to the June 15 era of reunification by forcefully accelerating the march toward independent reunification this year. The author of the article says:
    "Add brilliance to the June 15 reunification era by attaching importance to the nation, maintaining peace and achieving unity!" This is the slogan which the whole nation should uphold this year. It clearly indicates the fighting tasks the Korean nation should carry out in the new year.
    "By our nation itself", the spirit of the June 15 era of reunification, is the most steadfast idea of attaching importance to the nation. The Korean nation should regard it as the strict rule to develop the inter-Korean relations and the reunification movement according to the idea of "By our nation itself".
    The struggle to safeguard peace is a just patriotic struggle for defending the existence of the nation and its land of living. All the fellow countrymen should turn out as one man in the struggle to defend peace with death-defying will, staking the destiny of the cause of independent reunification and the security of the nation. All the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas should intensify the struggle to consolidate the achievements made in the patriotic movement for the great unity of the nation last year and boost the unity of the entire nation. This year, too, they should bring the atmosphere of national reconciliation and unity to a high tide and push it to independent reunification. It is important to wage a relentless struggle against the south Korean conservative forces standing in the way of national unity. It is an entirely just and realistic patriotic initiative that the joint editorial put forward the three major tasks to attach importance to the nation, defend peace and achieve unity which the Korean nation should carry through in the new year. If these three tasks are fulfilled to the letter, a brighter prospect will spread in accomplishing the cause of peace and independent reunification this year.
    All the Koreans should firmly defend and invariably implement the north-south joint declaration, whatever ordeals and difficulties they may face, thus adding shine to the June 15 era of reunification.
