   Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Friday dedicates a signed article to the 17th anniversary of President Kim Il Sung's work "Let Us Achieve the Great Unity of Our Nation."
    The work comprehensively deals with a wealth of practical experience gained in the arduous revolutionary struggle in the DPRK which has advanced and triumphed thanks to the might of unity, gives answers to the principled questions arising in achieving the great unity of the nation and indicates concrete tasks to be fulfilled to solve them and ways to do so.
    The work serves as an immortal programme for the great unity of the nation to be always held fast to by the Koreans as invariable guidelines for achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of the country, the article says, and goes on:
    As the President clarified in the work, to achieve the great unity of the nation is the most important task for realizing national reunification.
    The national character peculiar to the Koreans and the special characteristics of the historical development of Korea raise the issue of the nation's unity as a more urgent demand.
    The work clearly teaches the truth that it is the master key to carving out the nation's destiny independently to strengthen the driving force for national reunification and achieve the great unity of the nation.
    In order to achieve the above-said unity it is necessary for the members of the nation, first of all, to firmly maintain the principle of placing the common interests of the nation above anything else and subordinating everything to the cause of national reunification irrespective of ideology, system and religious belief.
    As clarified by the work, all Koreans at home and abroad should struggle with the might of the unity. This alone provides a sure guarantee for bringing earlier the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
    The idea of "By our nation itself", the core of the June 15 joint declaration, means a full embodiment of the idea and line of the great unity of the nation set forth and consistently maintained by the President.
    The Korean nation has nothing to fear and no obstacles insurmountable as it has such powerful treasured sword as the great unity of the nation provided by the President and Kim Jong Il is wisely leading all Koreans to unity and reunification.
