Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il opened a bright prospect of achieving national reunification by ushering in the June 15 era of reunification, the era of "By the Korean nation itself" with the will to carry out the last instruction of President Kim Il Sung for national reunification without fail, says Rodong Sinmun Monday in a bylined article.

It goes on:

The feats of Kim Jong Il shining along with the June 15 era of reunification lie in that he provided a milestone of independent reunification to the fellow countrymen by making sure that the inter-Korean declarations were adopted.

They also lie in that he wisely led all the Koreans along the road of victory in the struggle to accomplish the cause of independent reunification with his outstanding leadership art, matchless pluck and noble patriotism.

He provided the historic Pyongyang summits for the first time in the history of the Korean nation's division, thus seeing to it that the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration based on the spirit of "By our nation itself" were adopted. These were events of special significance as they ushered in the new era of independent reunification.

He saw through the nature of the complicated situation with clairvoyant insight. Holding higher the banner of Songun, he shattered every move of the separatist forces at home and abroad and provided a firm guarantee for the advance of the era of independent reunification.

He embraced all Koreans with noble patriotism and boundless generosity and strengthened the driving force for reunification and patriotism in everyway.

It was thanks to his great loving care that all Koreans at home and abroad could give full play to ardent patriotic enthusiasm, driving the locomotive of reunification and patriotism along the orbit of the June 15 joint declaration.

All Koreans in the north, the south and abroad should build a reunified, powerful and prosperous state on this land without fail true to the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un and thus successfully implement the last instruction of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il for national reunification.
