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, December 15 (KCNA) -- National reunification and prosperity will be achieved when the Koreans hold aloft the invincible banner of "By our nation itself" which is fully displaying its validity and vitality in reality, observes Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a signed article.
    The idea of "By our nation itself" enshrined in the June 15 joint declaration serves as a powerful ideological and moral weapon as it helps the Koreans shatter any obstructive moves of the outsiders and bring earlier victory of the cause of national reunification, the article notes, and goes on:
    The above-said idea reflects the unanimous demand of the nation for independence and unity.
    It calls on all Koreans in the north and the south, the driving force for achieving national reunification, to pool their efforts and solve the issue of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation in line with its will and requirements. The idea represents the idea of national self-determination that the national problem should be settled by the Koreans themselves free from any foreign interference and the confidence and optimism that the Korean nation is fully capable of carving out its own destiny.
    The idea also reflects the desire of the nation for peace and the peaceful reunification of the country.
    Peace is a prerequisite to national unity and the independent reunification of the country. The Korean nation will suffer again a catastrophic disaster and the land of Korea will turn into shambles of a nuclear war launched by outside forces unless the Koreans defend peace from a new war in this land. Only when there are the nation and the land can there be reconciliation, cooperation, reunification and prosperity.
    The above-mentioned idea serves as a banner of struggle and a powerful engine which makes it possible for the Koreans to save the destiny of the nation and open up a new history of the nation for reunification and prosperity as all the fellow countrymen in the north and the south and overseas absolutely support and sympathize with and implement it.
