Implementation of Inter-Korean Declarations Called for

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

Pyongyang, July 28 (KCNA) -- The Korean nation's struggle to bring about a new turning point in the cause of national reunification by successfully implementing the October 4 declaration under the uplifted banner of the June 15 joint declaration has hit a snag owing to the moves of the Lee Myung Bak group that came to power in south Korea.

Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.

The prevailing reality urgently requires all Koreans to more dynamically accelerate the cause of national reunification by holding fast to the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration as the programmes of the era of independent reunification and removing the hurdles lying in the way of their implementation, the article says, and goes on:

The prospect of the Korean nation's cause of national reunification fully depends on how it defends and implements the said declarations.

The declarations serve as the landmark indicating the shortcut to national reunification in the new century and programmes for reunification reflecting most correctly the requirement of the developing era and the desire of the nation. Nothing can replace the declarations in realizing the vital requirement and interests of all Koreans who earnestly wish for independent reunification, peace and prosperity at present.

The validity of the above-said declarations, in a word, lies in that they put forward the Korean nation as the driving force responsible for the movement of national reunification and indicated in detail the principles and ways of solving the issue of reunification by pooling the strength and wisdom of the Korean nation.

It is necessary for the Koreans to dynamically wage the nationwide struggle for implementing the declarations to consolidate the achievements already gained by the Korean nation and achieve national unity and reunification at an early date.

The stand on the declarations serves as a touchstone which distinguishes patriotism from treachery at present.

Neither national reconciliation and cooperation nor the development of inter-Korean relations, peace and prosperity would be thinkable apart from the declarations.

The Korean nation will never tolerate the treacherous moves of the Lee group who negate the reunification programmes common to the nation and stand in the way of their implementation, swimming against the trend of the times, concludes the article.
