Fully Play to Spirit of National Self-Esteem Called for

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

   Pyongyang, November 4 (KCNA) --The Koreans should fully display the spirit of national self-esteem as a dignified and excellent nation in the movement for the reunification of the country as it is accompanied by the confrontation with the United States keen to keep the Korean Peninsula divided into two and dominate it.
    Rodong Sinmun Sunday observes this in a by-lined article.
    It goes on:
    The Koreans have the spirit of self-esteem stronger than any other nations as it is based on their excellent national character.
    The national character which has been consolidated throughout the Korean nation's history spanning more than 5000 years reflects the spirit of national independence and brilliant tradition of culture. The Korean nation has been known to be a nation strong in patriotism and the spirit of independence since the olden times.
    The Koreans' strong spirit of national self-esteem has served as one of the important factors that enabled them to firmly preserve their national character in any severe test of history.
    Now under way on the Korean Peninsula is a decisive final struggle between the fellow countrymen in the north and the south who work hard to defend the security and peace of the country and achieve national reunification by their concerted efforts and the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad who challenge their efforts. This precisely means the confrontation between the Koreans equipped with the spirit of self-esteem and the foreign forces keen to quell it.
    The U.S. evermore reckless efforts to dampen the Koreans' desire for reunification only reinforce their spirit of self-esteem to successfully carve out the future of the country and the nation by themselves, regarding national independence as their life and soul.
    The Koreans' high pride and honor of holding leader Kim Jong Il, peerless great man, in high esteem as the sun of the nation and the resulting strong spirit of national self-esteem serve as an inexhaustible source of ardent patriotic zeal and fighting spirit to achieve reunification, concludes the article.
