Koreans in Kazakhstan Call for Stronger Patriotic Movement for Reunification
Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA) -- Kang Sun Ho, chairman of the United Confederation of Koreans in Kazakhstan, issued a statement on June 17 in support of an appeal to the Koreans at home and abroad issued on the occasion of the 12th anniversary of the June 15 joint declaration.

The statement said that the confederation and Koreans in Kazakhstan voice full support and solidarity with the appeal made by the North Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration to all Koreans at home and abroad to closely unite under the banner of the declaration to give steady continuity to the trend of the June 15 era of reunification this year without fail and make a breakthrough in independent reunification.

It was thanks to the June 15 joint declaration, the banner of national reunification, that the Koreans could put an end to the distress-torn history in which they experienced national ruin and suffered from a war and division in the last century, and usher in a new era of national reconciliation and unity, peace and reunification, it said, and went on:

However, the present south Korean conservative authorities' frantic anti-DPRK smear campaign and vicious moves to escalate confrontation drove the north-south relations into the worst phase, totally suspended visits and contact and barred meetings for reunification common to the nation from taking place for several years.

We will thoroughly shatter the ultra-right conservative group's moves to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen and wage a more dynamic patriotic movement for reunification, closely united under the banner of the June 15 joint declaration.
