Founding Anniversary of Pomminryon Marked in Seoul
Pyongyang, December 2 (KCNA) -- The South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification (Pomminryon) held a meeting in Seoul on Nov. 30 to mark the 18th anniversary of its formation.

Present there were members of the South Headquarters of Pomminryon and figures of different circles.

Ri Kyu Jae, chairman of the South Headquarters of Pomminryon, in a speech made at the meeting said that one's stand and attitude toward the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration is a touchstone showing whether one stands for reunification or for division.

Whoever denies these historical declarations for reunification can never escape bitter resentment and curse of the fellow countrymen, he warned.

He declared that the South Headquarters of Pomminryon would achieve the country's reunification without fail by focusing the actions on the anti-Lee Myung Bak struggle and fully implementing the above-said declarations under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself."

Congratulatory messages from the North Headquarters, Overseas Headquarters and the Joint Secretariat of Pomminryon were introduced and a resolution was read out at the meeting.

The resolution noted that Pomminryon, regarding the idea of "By our nation itself" as its lifeline, is filled with the resolution to fulfill the mission it assumed before the times and the nation no matter how desperate the anti-reunification forces may become in their moves.
