Immortal Work for Korea's Reunification
Pyongyang, August 22 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il made public a famous work "Let Us Carry Out the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung's Instructions for National Reunification" in August Juche 86 (1997).

The work embraces in a comprehensive way the immortal feats of President Kim Il Sung who put forth the national reunification as the supreme task of the nation from the first days of the country's division and strengthened and developed the reunification movement into a nation-wide movement.

It indicates in an all-round way the tasks and ways for achieving national reunification such as the question of attaining the country's reunification on the principle of national independence, the question of realizing the great unity with priority to the interests common to the nation, the question of accomplishing the reunification in a peaceful way and the question of establishing a unified state of the nation on the basis of federation formula.

The work gives clear-cut answers to all the issues for solving the country's reunification question by the Korean nation itself in accordance with the President's line of national reunification.

Thanks to the noble moral obligation and firm will of leader Kim Jong Il to inherit and carry out with credit the President's cause of national reunification, the Korean nation could turn out in the nationwide campaign for accomplishing the cause of independent reunification without wavering in the anti-reunification whirlwind and usher in the June 15 reunification era.

But the reunification of the Korean nation is faced with grave difficulties by the vicious moves of the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad.

The Lee Myung Bak group, which is taking no account of the reunification of the country and the interests of the nation, is raising frenzied anti-DPRK confrontation clamor in league with foreign forces, refusing the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.

The negation of the declarations is no other than the negation of the national reconciliation and unity and is an intolerable treachery to the nation.

No matter how desperately the anti-reunification forces may run, they cannot break the aspiration and will of the Korean people to achieve the independent reunification, peace and prosperity with the concerted efforts of the Korean nation.
