Withdrawal of U.S. Forces from S. Korea Urged

Pyongyang, October 4 (KCNA) -- The Ethiopian Youth Study Group of the Juche Idea issued "Prerequisite to Settlement of Korean Question", the first issue of its bulletin, on the occasions of the 29th anniversary of the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo and the 2nd publication anniversary of the October 4 declaration.

The bulletin contended that pullout of the U.S. forces from south Korea is a precondition for settling the Korean issue.

Saying that the June 15 joint declaration is a milestone for Korea's reunification and the October 4 declaration is an action programme for implementing it, the bulletin demanded that the U.S. forces be immediately withdrawn from south Korea to ensure the reunification of the Korean nation and the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula and the world.
