Depending on Foreign Forces Is Crime against Reunification

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

   Pyongyang, August 18 (KCNA) -- Depending on foreign forces will never help the Korean people settle the national issue and avoid the escalation of confrontation and the perpetuation of division and, furthermore, a war.
    Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article.
    The movement for national reunification is the patriotic movement of the nation as the driving force to reject the interference and obstructions by foreign forces and independently achieve the reunification of the country by the Korean nation itself, it says, and goes on:
    The south Korean authorities' sycophancy toward the U.S. and dependence on foreign forces are throwing a grave hurdle in the way of the national reunification.
    The dependence of the sycophantic traitors of south Korea on foreign forces is the crime against the reunification little short of checking the cause of Korean nation for the independent reunification, escalating the confrontation between the north and the south and perpetuating the national division.
    The division of the Korean nation is a tragedy produced by the U.S. imperialists' ambition to dominate Korea in every way.
    The U.S. hatched a plot to make the Korean Peninsula a springboard for the realization of its strategy to dominate the world. It, therefore, occupied south Korea militarily and subjugated it in political, military and economic fields, thus bisecting the nation and territory of Korea into the north and the south. It has since pursued the perpetuation of the division while swimming against the desire of the Korean nation for the independent reunification during the past more than six decades.
    The history of the arduous movement for the national reunification clearly proves that to put an end to the national division and achieve the national reunification the Korean people should thoroughly smash the south Korean puppets' dependence on foreign forces while struggling against the foreign forces' policy for the national division and their interference in the reunification issue.
    Soon after grasping power the Lee Myung Bak group of south Korea has worked with bloodshot eyes to intensify dependence on foreign forces and strengthen the cooperation with them in disregard of the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration which clarify the way of the independent reunification of the nation.
    They are calling for "strengthened traditional ties" with the U.S. and the "new cooperative relations" with Japan while openly slandering the inter-Korean declarations, programmes for the independent reunification of the nation, and opposing them. They have gone the lengths of putting spurs to the moves to establish the treacherous "tripartite military alliance" with the U.S. and Japan.
    The foolish moves of the Lee group aimed at achieving the sinister purpose in cooperation with the foreign forces with its back turned on the nation have pushed the north-south relations to catastrophe and strained the military tension on the Korean Peninsula.
    To tide over the crisis and settle the issue of the national reunification, dependence on foreign forces for aggression against the reunification should be definitely put to an end in south Korea.
