Rodong Sinmun Calls for Defending Peace

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

   Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- To defend peace from the outsiders' aggression and war is one of the most primary tasks facing all the Koreans at present for national reunification and their common prosperity. Rodong Sinmun today stresses this in a signed article. Without struggle against aggression and war, is it impossible to ensure peace and expect the existence and development of the nation and progress of the cause of national reunification, it notes, and goes on:
    To safeguard peace is a key to achieving national reunification and prosperity. This year the whole Korean nation should hold higher the banner of peace against war and turn out in the struggle against the U.S. imperialists' moves for a new war so as to firmly defend peace and security of the Korean Peninsula.
    All the Koreans should never allow any criminal military confrontation move of the U.S. imperialists threatening existence and security of the nation and disturbing peace and reunification of the country, but conduct a nationwide struggle to frustrate it.
    Withdrawal of the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops from south Korea is the demand of the June 15 era of reunification and desire of the whole Korean nation. The struggle to drive the aggressor troops out of south Korea will be a struggle most effective in removing the source of war and ensuring peace in the Korean Peninsula.
    Broad sections of pro-reunification patriotic forces in south Korea should vigorously wage the struggle to drive the U.S. troops, the root cause of military tensions and war and the source of misfortunes and pain.
    They should also smash every criminal move of the "Grand National Party" and other pro-U.S. bellicose forces zealously following the outside forces' policy of aggression on the DPRK.
