Top Priority to National Dignity and Interests Called for

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

   Pyongyang, August 26 (KCNA) -- In order to successfully accomplish the cause of national reunification, meeting the challenge from the forces at home and abroad opposed to reunification, the Korean nation should solve the issue of national reunification on the principle of giving top priority to the national dignity and interests and putting them above anything else.
    Rodong Sinmun Tuesday says this in a signed article.
    It goes on:
    The national dignity and interests are the primary criteria for solving the issue of national reunification because this is the issue to be settled by the Korean nation itself and a matter pertaining to the sovereignty of the nation and any Korean desirous of reunification has common interests in defending the national dignity and interests.
    The present June 15 era of reunification is the era of national independence and reunification, the era which requires the Koreans to work in the spirit of by our nation itself.
    The Lee Myung Bak regime in south Korea is regarding foreign forces as more important than the nation, considering it a top priority task to "improve relations" with aggressor outside forces. It is working with bloodshot eyes to scrap the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration the core of which is the idea of "By our nation itself."
    The reality goes to prove that failure to handle the reunification issue by placing the national dignity and interests above anything else and considering them as criteria would only escalate the confrontation and perpetuate the division and spark off a war in the end.
    Those who resolutely stand up against outside forces' aggression and interference and struggle to positively defend the national dignity and interests are patriots in the June 15 era of reunification.
    The Koreans will never pardon the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors hell-bent on the inter-Korean confrontation and moves to provoke a war against the north, while cooperating with outside forces in utter disregard of the national dignity and interests and checking the advance of the cause of national reunification in collusion with them, concludes the article.
