Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address said that the important issue in terminating the division of the country and reunifying it is to remove the confrontation between the north and the south and respect and implement the north-south joint declarations, the secretary general said, and went on:

The teachings of Kim Jong Un on settling the issue of Korea's reunification by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation in an independent manner are a clear truth to anyone.

The reunification issue is the internal one of the Korean nation.

The world progressives assert that no foreign forces should interfere in the issue of Korea's reunification.

The proposals made by Kim Jong Un on terminating the division of the Korean nation and achieving the reunification of the country serve as the steadfast landmark for Korea's reunification.

The secretary general called upon the world people aspiring after independence to step up pressure on the anti-reunification forces so that the peaceful reunification of Korea should be realized according to the proposals advanced by Kim Jong Un.
