All Koreans Called upon to Remain True to Idea of "By Our Nation Itself"

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

   Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- The June 15 era of reunification requires all Koreans to regard "By our nation itself" as a motto of struggle and life. Only when all Koreans remain true to it, is it possible to preserve the Juche character and national character of the homogeneous nation and successfully carry out the tasks of attaching importance to the nation, defending peace and achieving unity.
    Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    The basic spirit of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, the sign post for carving out the destiny of the Korean nation in the new century, is to settle the issue of national reunification independently by the concerted efforts of the Koreans as they are responsible for it, the article says, and goes on: As the issue of national reunification is, in essence, the matter related to the sovereignty of the nation, the Koreans should be responsible for it and should settle it by their concerted efforts in accordance with the independent will and requirement of the nation. Doing everything in the idea of "By our nation itself" is an inviolable right of the Korean nation and the idea of the June 15 era of reunification.
    What is urgent for the Korean nation is not to settle the issue of the differing ideologies and systems but wipe out the distrust and confrontation that have lasted for several decades, promote harmony and rejoin the blood ties of the nation through its concerted efforts. This is what all Koreans urge at present.
    Big progress and signal success have been made in the movement for national reunification in the June 15 era of reunification despite several decades-old differences in ideologies and social systems. All this has been possible because they worked hard for inter-Korean reconciliation, unity and cooperation for the common interests of the nation, regarding the idea of "By our nation itself" as the basic idea.
    Accusing the U.S. and ultra-right conservative forces including the Grand National Party in south Korea subservient to the U.S. of standing in the way of the Korean nation advancing in the spirit of "By our nation itself," the article calls on all Koreans in the north and the south and abroad to go united and deal deadly blows at the U.S. imperialists and pro-U.S. conservative forces including the GNP who challenge them.
