Patriotic Desire and Will of Koreans, Motive Force of Struggle for Reunification

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

   Pyongyang, May 31 (KCNA) -- The patriotic desire and will of the Koreans to achieve independent reunification at all costs under the banner of "By our nation itself" with high national dignity and consciousness of independence serve as motive force propelling the June 15 era of reunification, observes Rodong Sinmun in a signed article Thursday.
    It goes on:
    The noble patriotic zeal of the Koreans to achieve the country's reunification independently has reached a new, higher plane in the June 15 era of reunification.
    The idea of resolving the question of the country's reunification by the efforts of the Korean nation itself, which is laid down in the historic June 15 joint declaration, has strongly appealed to the minds of all the fellow countrymen aspiring after independent reunification and completely gripped their hearts. The idea of "By our nation itself" has become the spirit of the June 15 era of reunification and it has been able to powerfully spur on the struggle for independent reunification with great attraction as it represents so unequivocally the will and desire of the Koreans for independent reunification.
    Guided by the principle of "By our nation itself," the Koreans have resolutely stood against the unreasonable interference and disturbance of outside forces and dealt hard blows to the flunkeyist treacheries of the anti-reunification forces within the nation following the lead of outside forces.
    This stubborn struggle of the Koreans made it possible to preserve the principle of "By our nation itself," the principle of national independence, in the reunification movement and establish the structure of Korean nation's confrontation with the U.S.
    National independence represents the dignity and honor of the nation, its pride and self-respect as well as the indomitable will and spirit of the nation.
    Nobody can block the struggle of the Korean nation to defend its dignity and sovereignty.
    The patriotic traits of the Koreans eloquently manifested in the high degree of consciousness of independence and desire for independent reunification are the propelling force making the nation strong and adding shine to the June 15 era of reunification.
    All the Koreans should promote the development of the times and bring earlier independent reunification by displaying the spirit of national independence and patriotic enthusiasm to a higher degree.
