Supreme leader Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address called for respecting and successfully implementing the north-south joint declarations, underscoring the need to reject outside forces and firmly adhere to the idea of "By our nation itself" in order to settle the issue of the country's reunification as desired by the Koreans, the chief recalled, adding:

The tasks set forth by him for the country's reunification serve as a signpost for this year's struggle to accomplish the cause of reunification and a key to its victory.

Vanguard fighters of the AINDF and patriotic popular masses are evincing their will to turn out in a nation-wide struggle for reunification.

The South Side Committee for Implementing the June 15 Joint Declaration, the South Headquarters of the Pan-National Alliance for Korea's Reunification, the Pusan Reunification Solidarity and other organizations in south Korea praised the idea of "By our nation itself" as the supreme principle and all-powerful treasured sword for achieving reunification to which all Koreans should hold fast.

The South Headquarters of the Pan-National Alliance of Youth and Students for Korea's Reunification, the Women's Solidarity of South Korea and the Solidarity for Implementing the South-North Joint Declaration in south Korea expressed their will to take the lead in the struggle to bury the forces opposed to the nation and reunification and make a new history of independent reunification.

No matter how desperately the separatist forces at home and abroad may work, they can never quell the strong desire of Koreans to achieve independent reunification and national prosperity.

All Koreans should open up a new phase of independent reunification and peace and prosperity, united close, guided by the idea of "By our nation itself" under the banner of genuine patriotism.

Supreme leader Kim Jong Un is standing at the helm of the on-going movement for the country's reunification.

Vanguard fighters of the AINDF will make dynamic efforts to make 2014 a year marking a new phase in independent reunification, holding Kim Jong Un in high esteem as the lodestar of national reunification.
