Anniversary of Inter-Korean Declaration Observed
Pyongyang, June 17 (KCNA) -- The Japan Regional Committee for Implementing June 15 Joint Declaration sponsored a meeting in Tokyo on June 13 to mark the 9th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.

Addressing the meeting, Kwak Tong Ui, chairman of the committee, charged that the Lee Myung Bak "government" in south Korea recently drove the former "president" to death, not content with having strangled democracy and deteriorated the people's livelihood by engaging itself in the fascist dictatorial rule against the people.

The Lee group is putting the inter-Korean relations on the war situation while inciting confrontation with fellow countrymen in the north, he pointed out, contending that no matter how desperately the anti-reunification forces may try, they can not quench the entire nation's desire for reunification.

He called upon all Korean residents to turn out in the struggle for defending and implementing the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.

An action program, to be carried out in the "period of movement for implementing the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration," was announced at the meeting.

Prior to the meeting, there was a lecture.

Meanwhile, the 3rd general meeting of the said committee took place.
