Dynamic Actions for National Reconciliation and Unity Called for

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

   Pyongyang, May 22 (KCNA) -- The present times are the June 15 era of reunification in which the Koreans are promoting reconciliation and cooperation with each other and working hard to achieve independent reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a signed article.
    The June 15 era of reunification is an era of national independence in which the north and the south are developing their relations and paving the way for independent reunification by their concerted efforts, guided by the idea of "By our nation itself", the article notes, and goes on:
    It is the need of the times and the will of the nation to solve all the issues in conformity with the idea of "By our nation itself" which the north and south promised to embody and has been hailed and supported by all the compatriots.
    None of the two sides is, therefore, allowed to deny and sidestep the above-said idea. If any side gives importance to the foreign forces instead of valuing its nation in contravention of the principle of "By our nation itself" or cooperates with them instead of joining hands with its compatriots, it should be branded as an act of betraying its nation and going against the times.
    The present times call for placing the common interests of the nation above anything else, subordinating everything to the cause of national reunification, promoting co-existence, co-prosperity and common interests on the basis of the commonness of the nation and achieving genuine reconciliation.
    The common points of the nation remain unchanged as the north and the south belong to the same nation.
    The differing ideologies and systems in the north and the south do not pose any problem, given the commonness of the nation formed and consolidated for thousands of years.
    The north and south can surely get reconciled and promote co-existence, co-prosperity and common interests, should they place the common interests of the nation above anything else and subordinate everything to the cause of national reunification and approach and solve all the issues on the basis of the national community.
    In order to accelerate the independent reunification through genuine reconciliation between the north and south it is necessary to put the earliest possible end to the foreign presence and domination over south Korea and reject foreign forces' meddling in the issue of the relations between the north and south and the issue of reunification.
    It is also necessary to stop the confrontation and war moves quite contrary to the trend of the times towards reconciliation and cooperation and remove the legal and political barriers lying in the way of national reconciliation and unity of the nation from south Korea.
