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

   Pyongyang, January 18 (KCNA) -- The October 4 Declaration for Development of North-South Relations and Peace and Prosperity is, indeed, an action program for implementing the historic June 15 joint declaration in all fields and guidelines for struggle and action in the era of independent reunification. Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed article.
    The Oct. 4 declaration fully reflects the ardent desire of the fellow countrymen to achieve the development of the north-south relations, durable peace of the country and prosperity common to the nation and reunify the country and indicates specific tasks to be undertaken to realize it and ways to do so, the article notes, and goes on:
    The basic idea of the declaration is the idea of "By our nation itself" clarified by the June 15 joint declaration and all the points of the declaration are chiefly aimed at materializing this idea.
    In the Oct. 4 declaration the north and the south reaffirmed the spirit of the June 15 joint declaration and, on this basis, underscored the need to defend and positively implement it and settle the issue of national reunification independently in the spirit of "By our nation itself".
    The Oct. 4 declaration clarified the stand of the north and the south to definitely convert the north-south relations into those of mutual respect and confidence irrespective of ideology and system.
    The declaration opened a bright prospect of building a durable peace mechanism as it indicated ways of defusing tensions and ensuring peace.
    It pointed in detail to the tasks to be implemented by the north and the south to reenergize economic cooperation with a view to ensuring balanced development of national economy and achieving common prosperity and conduct multi-faceted cooperation undertakings in favor of promoting reconciliation and unity and achieving the reunification of the country.
    All Koreans at home and abroad should wage a strenuous struggle for independent reunification and peace and prosperity along the road indicated by the Oct. 4 declaration, holding high the banner of "By our nation itself".
