Korean in China Calls for Achieving National Reunification
Pyongyang, January 30 (KCNA) -- Jo Kuk Je, director of the Secretariat of the General Association of Koreans in China, on Jan. 22 issued a statement under the title "Let us achieve independent reunification of the country, greatest desire and urgent and supreme task of the nation, under the banner of historic June 15 joint declaration and October 4 declaration."

To reunify the country is a very urgent and vital cause for the Korean nation, the statement said, and went on:

It is a tragedy that the Koreans who have lived as a homogeneous nation for a long period are undergoing sufferings resulting from division generation after generation, the partition into the north and the south caused by foreign forces.

The U.S. has imposed unspeakable misfortunes and sufferings upon the Korean nation, present in south Korea for nearly 70 years.

The north-south relations have been brought to a collapse and the Korean Peninsula has become the biggest hotspot in the world in which a war may break out any moment due to the frantic north-targeted war maneuvers of the Lee Myung Bak group of traitors and pro-U.S. conservative forces keen on wealth and luxury and greedy for power, utterly indifferent to the country and the nation.

Whoever is Korean with the soul of the nation, be he or she in the north and the south and abroad, should turn out as one in the struggle to achieve the independent reunification of the country decisive of the destiny of the nation, irrespective of political view and religious belief.

All the fellow countrymen should strengthen solidarity and alliance under the banner of the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, the landmarks of Korea's reunification, to reject foreign forces and completely wipe out the group of traitors steeped in sycophancy and submission to the marrow of their bones.

The Korean nation should remain true to the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un, another great brilliant Songun commander, and give full play to the dignity and honor as a reunified homogeneous nation.
