National Unity Is Key to Peace and Reunification--Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, October 23 (KCNA) -- All-Korean Committee for Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration, in its recent appeal marking the 4th anniversary of the October 4 declaration, called upon the people from all walks of life at home and abroad to promote the national unity under the banner of the north-south joint declarations.

Recalling this fact, Rodong Sinmun Sunday says in a bylined article:

The appeal gives all Koreans the faith in the independent reunification, peace and prosperity, arousing them to the grand nationwide march for independent reunification.

The national reunification is an undertaking to terminate the foreign forces' domination and interference, completely realize the sovereignty of the nation, remove the distrust and contradiction between the north and the south and achieve national unity.

A key problem in realizing national reunification will be smoothly settled if the north and the south get harmony with each other and all Koreans pool their will and efforts to achieve great national unity.

National reunification is an independent cause involving all Koreans that can be realized by their concerted efforts.

It is none other than the Korean nation that wants its reunification. It is also the Korean nation that should carry out this historic task and will enjoy benefit from national reunification.

To achieve the national unity is an urgent demand for preserving peace of the country and steadily advancing the June 15 era.

All Koreans should take concerted action and join hands for the nation's great cause, irrespective of class and strata, affiliation and ism.

Nothing can match the strength of the united nation and no force can check the advance of the reunification movement by all Koreans closely rallied under the banner of national independence and patriotism.
