Korea's Reunification Supported Abroad
Pyongyang, June 6 (KCNA) -- A newspaper of Uruguay and an Internet homepage of a Brazilian political party observed the 11th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.

The Uruguayan paper La Juventud on May 29 carried a photo of General Secretary Kim Jong Il and an article titled "June 15, 2000-2011: fundamental principle for settling the issue of Korea's reunification", which said:

For the Korean nation reunification is national independence and vice versa.

Korea's reunification will be surely realized when the north and the south of it respect and faithfully implement the idea of "By our nation itself" confirmed in the June 15 joint declaration and then the October 4 declaration.

The international community should extend unsparing support and encouragement to the Korean nation in the efforts to achieve the country's reunification under the banner of national independence.

An Internet homepage of the Brazilian Communist Party on May 27 carried an article praising the feats of Kim Jong Il who brought the June 15 era of reunification.

Detailing the fact that the eye-opening reality called June 15 era of reunification was brought in the Korean Peninsula, the article said that the adoption of the north-south joint declaration, a landmark for Korea's reunification, was entirely thanks to the Songun politics pursued by Kim Jong Il.

It went on:

The June 15 era of reunification entered a new stage of development with the adoption of the October 4 declaration in 2007.

This declaration for development of the inter-Korean relations and peace and prosperity reaffirmed before the world the fact that no one and nothing can block the advance of the Korean nation toward reunification.

Korea will be reunified before long.
