31 years have passed since it was built by the south Korean puppet authorities, the statement said, and went on:

The building of the wall dividing the Korean Peninsula into the north and the south was an act of going against the will of all the Korean people for reunification as it was erected at the prodding of the U.S. imperialists.

The wall still remains the last leftover of the Cold War. Being a symbol of the division of the peninsula, the concrete wall is a physical barrier lying in the way of Korea's reunification.

The U.S. and the south Korean authorities should pull down the wall to create an atmosphere favorable for the reunification of Korea.
