Implementation of Inter-Korean Declarations Called for

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

   Pyongyang, May 8 (KCNA) -- The north-south joint declaration serves as one of independent reunification common to the nation both in name and reality as it embodies the nation's desire and aspiration for independence and the nation's will for independent reunification and indicates the way of achieving it.
    Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The Korean people have held fast to the joint declaration and worked hard to implement it for the past 8 years, thus registering great successes in the development of the inter-Korean relations and the movement for independent reunification. This vividly shows the validity and vitality of the declaration which gives priority to national independence.
    The June 15 joint declaration has ushered in a new history of reconciliation and unity in the country.
    In this course the structure of confrontation was formed with the Korean nation in one side and the U.S. in the other and the north and the south deeply grasped that to pool efforts of the Korean nation is the best way of achieving independent reunification. As a result, the banner of "By our nation itself" was raised higher across the country.
    Last year the October 4 Declaration for Development of North-South Relations and Peace and Prosperity was adopted in Pyongyang. The adoption meant the provision of a historic program for more firmly defending and implementing the north-south joint declaration, a landmark event in encouraging the Koreans' will for independent reunification. When the Koreans hold fast to the historic June 15 joint declaration and October 4 declaration it would be possible to successfully solve all the issues arising in the way of achieving reunification and achieve the historic cause of national reunification, its cherished desire.
    The "Grand National Party" conservative forces which recently came to power in south Korea are a group of sycophants and traitors as they put the interests of the foreign forces above those of the nation and seek dependence on the outsiders, not national independence. New difficulties have thus been laid in the way ahead of the movement for national reunification.
    The south Korean conservative ruling forces' desperate moves to check the trend of independent reunification of the nation will only precipitate their destruction.
