All Koreans Called upon to Hold Banner of Independent Reunification
Pyongyang, November 4 (KCNA) --The people's desire for national independence and sovereignty is bound to be trampled down and no social progress can be expected under any foreign domination and subjugation, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article.

It goes on:

Only when the south Korean people turn out in a nationwide struggle against outside forces' domination and interference and traitors to the nation can they seek a way out and improve the inter-Korean relations and achieve national reunification.

It is prerequisite to putting an end to the tragedy of the national split and achieving the sovereignty and independence of the nation throughout Korea to force the U.S. imperialist aggressor forces out of south Korea.

Whoever has the soul of the Korean nation and aspires after reunification should come out in a just struggle for national reconciliation and unity and the country's reunification, be he or she in the north or in the south or overseas.

The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration are the banners all the Koreans should hold high in the on-going struggle for independent reunification against outside forces.

It is necessary to give momentum to the atmosphere of supporting, defending and sincerely implementing the inter-Korean declarations wherever Koreans live and bring about a landmark phase in improving the inter-Korean relations and achieving independent reunification.

The great unity of the whole nation based on the idea of "By our nation itself" provides a sure guarantee for a victory in the struggle for independent reunification against outside forces.

It is quite possible to bring earlier the day of accomplishing the cause of independent reunification when all the members of the nation desirous of national reconciliation and unity and reunification unite close, guided by the idea of "By our nation itself" irrespective of differing ideology, system, political view and religious belief and courageously turn out in the just struggle for achieving independent reunification against foreign forces.
