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

   Pyongyang, January 15 (KCNA) -- The historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration is a beacon of hope as it showed the way for prosperity of the Korean nation. All the Koreans should continue to wage the struggle for implementing the joint declaration in whatever ordeals and hardships. Only when doing so, is it possible for the Korean nation to usher in a heyday of the cause of independent reunification of the country this year. Rodong Sinmun stresses this in a signed article today.
    All the compatriots in the north and the south of Korea and abroad should vigorously advance under the uplifted banner of the June 15 joint declaration, full of confidence and optimism in victory, the article says, and goes on:
    It is important to adhere to the principle of national independence. National independence is the essence of the joint declaration and lifeline for realizing the cause of national reunification.
    The Korean nation is responsible for its own destiny and it is able to defend and shape its destiny. Any outside forces can not carry out the reunification movement directly related to the destiny of the Korean nation in its stead.
    After the adoption of the joint declaration, it has been clearly proved through its implementation that there is nothing impossible to be done by the Korean nation when its members join their efforts.
    Any humiliating practice based on flunkeyism and dependence on outsiders should never be allowed as it goes against the trend of the present times and the idea of "By our nation itself".
    All the Koreans should vigorously struggle to resolutely repulse any moves to eliminate the joint declaration regarding the principle of national independence as its basic spirit. In particular, they should strictly preserve the Juche character and national character with the pride of being members of the homogeneous nation with history of 5,000 years and decisively reject the U.S. interruption and interference in the internal affairs of the Korean nation.
    The joint declaration is a declaration on national independence and great national unity, and it is urgent to strengthen the might of great national unity in every way.
    In order to achieve the great unity of the nation, it is necessary to build up a nationwide alliance of pro-reunification patriotic forces irrespective of differences in ideology and ism, political view, religious belief, class and social strata.
    It is important to cement the solidarity and alliance among the reunification movement organizations in the north and the south of Korea and abroad.
    All the compatriots should turn out to implement the three-point task of attaching importance to the nation, defending peace and achieving the unity and thus usher in the heyday of the cause of independent reunification.
