All Koreans Called upon to Dedicate Themselves to Reunification Movement
Pyongyang, October 5 (KCNA) -- All Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should put spurs to the grand march for independent reunification under the banner of "By our nation itself" and thus fulfill their duties for accomplishing the national cause of building a reunified and prosperous power on this land, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a signed article.

It goes on:

They should turn out as one to accomplish without fail the historic cause of the country's reunification by staking their destiny on it.

It is the due obligation and noblest duty of the members of the Korean nation to achieve the country's reunification. Without achieving national reunification one cannot claim one has fulfilled one's duty before the country and the nation.

Reunification alone is a way out for the Korean nation. All Koreans should dedicate themselves to the struggle for national reunification. This is the way for the Koreans to perform their duties and tasks before the country and the nation and a genuine patriotic road of exalting the dignity and sovereignty of the nation and achieving development and prosperity common to the nation.

All Koreans who love the country and the nation and are concerned about the destiny of the country and the nation, be they in the north and the south and abroad, should turn out as one in the sacred movement for the country's reunification under the banner of "By our nation itself" irrespective of ideology and ism, religious belief, political view and class and stratum.

The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration serve as the great programmes for independent reunification common to the nation and the immortal banners.

Nothing is more worthwhile and proud than to wage the movement for the country's reunification with ardent patriotic desire in the June 15 era of reunification.

Those contributing to national reunification will be loved and respected by the nation and recorded in the history of the nation as pro-reunification patriots.
