All Koreans Called upon to Remain True to Idea of "By Our Nation Itself"
Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- "By our nation itself" clarified in the inter-Korean joint declarations is the transparent idea of national independence and the noble idea of national unity, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article.

It goes on:

"By our nation itself" is the idea enshrined in the minds of all the Koreans and the basic spirit of the June 15 era of reunification and the vitality of the spirit of "By our nation itself" has been fully demonstrated through the actual movement for national reunification.

To depend on the efforts of the Korean nation or rely on foreign forces is a touchstone to distinguish the patriotic stand from treachery, reunification from division and independence from subjugation.

The issue of Korea's reunification can be successfully settled only when the north and the south struggle in the idea of "By our nation itself".

Full play to the spirit of "By our nation itself" provides a sure guarantee for achieving national unity, independent reunification and prosperity common to the nation.

The independent and peaceful reunification of Korea would be unthinkable without concord between the north and the south and great national unity.

For all Koreans to firmly unite themselves means the reunification of the country.

Bright is the future of the Korean nation promoting the historic cause of national reunification by giving full play to the spirit of "By our nation itself", the idea of national independence and national unity.
