Holding High Banner of "By Our Nation Itself" Called for

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

   Pyongyang, November 2 (KCNA) -- The idea of "By our nation itself" serves as an invincible banner for the movement for independent reunification as it fully reflects the desire of the Korean nation and the need of the era and clearly indicates the way of carving out the destiny of the nation.
    Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The idea of "By our nation itself" enshrined in the June 15 joint declaration is the avowed idea of independent reunification.
    This idea instills strong consciousness of independence into the Koreans to make a hot wind of independent reunification rage in the land of three thousand ri. The trend of national cooperation is now growing stronger at a time when the desire for independence against the U.S. is rapidly mounting in south Korea, shaking the U.S. ruling system and getting the pro-U.S. sycophantic and traitorous forces there marginalized in the society. This development is the fruition of the above-said idea.
    It is necessary to firmly maintain the principle and stand of national independence, the basic idea of "By our nation itself".
    There are still forces that allow foreign forces to meddle in the issue related to the destiny of the nation or try to settle it in reliance upon them, away from the principle and stand of national independence even today when the history of the nation is guided by the idea of "By our nation itself." The Koreans should never tolerate this behavior, branding it as an act of treachery infringing upon the interests of the nation and spoiling the June 15 era of reunification.
    The inter-Korean relations should be improved strictly on the principle of national independence, the idea of "By our nation itself" because this idea represents the idea of great national unity.
    This idea calls on all Koreans to put the common interests of the nation above all and unite on this basis, irrespective of idea, ism, political view, religious belief and the interests of classes and social strata.
    For a Korean to remain faithful to the idea of "By our nation itself" or not serves as a touchstone distinguishing patriotism from treachery, concludes the article.
