Rodong Sinmun Calls for Great National Unity

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

   Pyongyang, January 22 (KCNA) -- Great national unity is the mode of existence of the Korean nation and the propelling force in the accomplishment of the cause of reunification, declares Rodong Sinmun Monday. Noting that the issue of national reunification is, in essence, an issue of rejoining the cut blood vessels of the nation and achieving national unity as one nation, the author of the article says:
    The key to pushing the movement for national reunification to victory lies in achieving the great unity of the whole nation, the driving force of national reunification.
    The achievement of the unity of the whole nation stands out as an issue of greater importance in view of the situation of the country's reunification this year when the Koreans should add shine to the era of June 15 reunification and usher in the heyday of independent reunification.
    Now the U.S. imperialists have gone to an extremely provocative and reckless stage in their war moves against the DPRK. It is none other than the U.S. imperialists who are bringing dark clouds of confrontation and war over the Korean Peninsula under the pretext of fictitious "threat" from the DPRK and it is again them who are egging the ultra-right conservative forces including the "Grand National Party" on to set off the counter wind of fascism and anti-reunification. The GNP traitors, with the backing of the U.S, imperialists, are making last-ditch efforts to drive back the June 15 era of reunification to the era of confrontation. This being the situation, the cause of independent reunification promoted by the Korean nation itself is facing a grave challenge and snag.
    The reality shows that the advance of the June 15 era of reunification is accompanied by a life-and-death confrontation with separatist forces within and without standing in its way. And it teaches us again the truth that great national unity is the great foundation of national reunification.
    The joint New Year editorial put forward the achievement of great national unity as one of the three tasks to be fulfilled by all the compatriots. This is entirely natural and realistic indication proceeding from the lawful demand of the developing reunification movement of the Korean nation.
    To usher in the heyday of the cause of independent reunification this year, all the fellow countrymen should turn out energetically in achieving great national unity as required by the joint editorial.
