Rodong Sinmun Calls for National Unity
Pyongyang, June 18 (KCNA) -- National reunification is a vital issue related to the destiny of the nation and national unity is a top priority task for achieving it, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in a bylined article.

National reunification presents itself as the most urgent issue now and a broad spectrum of people in the north and the south should not regard their own isms and interests as absolute, the article says, and goes on:

All the political parties and organizations in the north and the south should not prioritize their own isms, interests and policies but boldly pool efforts for national reunification, common interests to the nation. Cooperation and exchange should be orientated to solving essential problems for achieving nation's common interests.

The talks between the authorities of the north and the south that were arranged with much effort proved abortive because the south Korean authorities did not take the stand of serving the interests of the nation. The south Korean authorities should not hamper the efforts for the improvement of the north-south relations while minding needless things, but opt for reconciliation and reunification.

All the Koreans must value the idea of "By our nation itself" and positively work for unity and cooperation based on it.

Infinite and tremendous is the united national strength and nothing can hold back the nationwide push for the creation of a new history of independent reunification, peace and prosperity.
