All Koreans Urged to Remain True to Spirit of "By Our Nation Itself"

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

   Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- "By our nation itself," the core idea of the June 15 joint declaration, a landmark of the national reunification movement in the new century, serves as an engine for carving out the destiny of the nation and provides a sure guarantee for the victory in the movement for independent reunification.
    Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    "By our nation itself," a treasured sword for carving out the destiny of the nation, serves as a source enabling the members of the nation to creditably perform their responsibility and role as a driving force for the above-said movement.
    If the Korean nation is to creditably fulfill its responsibility and role as regards the issue of reunification, it is necessary for it to unite as one, to begin with. Failure to achieve unity would give foreign forces a pretext for interfering in its internal affairs. Whenever there was a sign of favorable development of the north-south relations there broke out a variety of cases in the past, throwing hurdles in the way of the struggle to accomplish the cause of reunification. This was attributable to outside forces' plots and tricks. Even today when the June 15 joint declaration is in the process of implementation the U.S. is still standing in the way of the Koreans' struggle for independent reunification, displeased with Korea's reunification. This is evidenced by the madcap Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises staged by the U.S. imperialists in collusion with the south Korean warmongers.
    "By our nation itself" serves as an engine for accelerating the movement for independent reunification.
    The Koreans have achieved great successes in the efforts to improve the inter-Korean relations and develop the reunification movement under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself" over the past several years. The idea of "By our nation itself" was accepted by all Koreans and a series of substantial projects were undertaken to embody it in the reunification movement.
    When all Koreans at home and abroad enshrine the idea of "By our nation itself," a sure guarantee for accomplishing the cause of independent reunification, as their faith and embody it, the moves of the foreign forces against reunification and for confrontation and war are bound to go bust and the movement for independent reunification will make a more dynamic advance.
