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

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- Seven years have passed since the June 15 reunification era has opened thanks to the historic Pyongyang meeting.
    During the period, all the Koreans in the north, south and abroad have vigorously advanced along the road of national unity and reunification, discarding the consciousness of division and confrontation and pooling efforts and ideas under the banner of "by our nation itself".
    Multi-channeled dialogues and contacts of the authorities and civilians have been held briskly on the principle of national independence between the north and the south of Korea and cooperation and exchange made to help the independent reunification and co-prosperity of the nation, defying the vicious anti-reunification and confrontation moves of the reactionaries within and without.
    People of all social standings in the north and south have held colorful reunification events including the grand festivals for national reunification in Pyongyang, Seoul, Mt. Kumgang and other parts, making the whole country replete with the enthusiasm for reunification.
    This year, too, has witnessed a big advance in the reunification movement of the Korean people to promote reconciliation and cooperation.
    Trial train operations were made on the east and west coastal railroad lines re-linked between the north and the south and the first meeting of the Taekwon-Do integration coordinating committee was held to merge the International Taekwon-Do Federation and World Taekwon-Do Federation into one.
    The Korean people have fully demonstrated at home and abroad that they could achieve the national unity and reunification by themselves through the 20th and 21st inter-Korean ministerial talks, 5th video meeting and 15th reunion of separated families and relatives, May Day reunification meeting of workers in the north and the south for implementation of the June 15 Joint Declaration and others.
    Developments show that the June 15 reunification era is a new era for the reunification and prosperity of Korea and nobody can hold in check the advance of the Korean nation shaping its destiny with joint efforts.
