Steady Advance of June 15 Era of Reunification Called for

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

   Pyongyang, August 19 (KCNA) -- The desire and enthusiasm to achieve national reconciliation, unity and national reunification are growing stronger among the Koreans in the north, the south and overseas as the days go by and no force on earth can break their will or dampen their desire to achieve national reunification by their concerted efforts.
    Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    It is the main trend of the June 15 era of reunification for the Koreans to reject foreign forces and settle the issue of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation, the driving force for solving it.
    The historic June 15 joint declaration ushered in the new era of independent reunification in which Koreans are working hard to put an end to the mistrust and confrontation between the north and the south and achieve reconciliation, unity and cooperation. All Koreans in the north and the south and overseas have added shine to the era of independent reunification, achieving landmark successes unprecedented in the history of the movement for national reunification through national cooperation under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself".
    The October 4 Declaration for the Development of the North-South Relations and Peace and Prosperity, a programme for implementing the June 15 joint declaration, was adopted in October last year amid the enthusiastic support and approval of all compatriots, putting the cause of national reunification on a new historical stage in the efforts to achieve independent reunification, peace and prosperity.
    This proves that it has become an irresistible trend of the times for the nation to get reconciled and go united and head for peace and reunification.
    The June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration will always serve as a landmark in the era of independent reunification and a banner for winning victories.
    It is possible to achieve independent reunification and peace and prosperity, requirements of the era and desires of the compatriots, only when the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration are upheld and implemented.
    The Lee Myung Bak group of south Korea is swimming against the trend of the times towards reunification by pursuing the north-south confrontation in collusion with foreign forces.
    National reconciliation, unity and independent reunification are what the general public in south Korea wish. The strength of the united popular masses is inexhaustible and no force on earth can match it.
    No matter how desperately the reactionaries of history may work, the June 15 era of reunification will make a steady dynamic advance and the Koreans are sure to emerge victorious in their struggle for independent reunification, peace and prosperity.
