Rodong Sinmun: Reconciliation and Unity--Key to National Reunification
Pyongyang, January 26 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun in a bylined article on Thursday stresses that national reconciliation and unity are the key to Korea's reunification.

The cause of reunifying Korea means, in essence, a nationwide cause whereby to connect the vein of the nation divided into the north and the south by outsiders and realize their unity, the article says, adding:

The national reconciliation and unity serve as an asset for laying solid foundation of reunification and prosperity.

Due to the national division by outside forces, differing ideologies and systems have existed in the north and the south of Korea, but they can never be reason and conditions for the Korean nation to fail to achieve its reconciliation and unity.

To promote national reconciliation and unity is an important way for settling the issue of the national destiny independently and peacefully by the united efforts of the Koreans.

The national reunification is a nationwide independent cause that can be accomplished only by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation. No one can replace the Koreans in the struggle for national reunification.

It is none other than the Koreans who want to see the national reunification and should play the role of its performer and will get benefits from it. Only when all Koreans unite themselves closely as the driving forces of national reunification and strengthen the forces in every way, is it possible to realize the country's reunification successfully.

The stirring reality in the June 15 era of reunification that made long strides in the idea of "By our nation itself" clearly proves that the Korean nation can smash the moves of the separatists at home and abroad and vigorously advance the national reunification movement when all its members get reconciled and united with each other, well aware of their position and role as the master responsible for national reunification.
