DPRK-proposed Federal Formula Supported in Indonesia
Pyongyang, October 28 (KCNA) -- The Indonesian Merdeka News Agency on Oct. 20 under the title "Federal formula is most realistic proposal for Korea's reunification" conveyed the accounts of the talk between Rachmawati Soekarnoputri, chairwoman of the Founding Committee of the Soekarno Foundation for Education of Indonesia, and Peter Woods, co-chairman of the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee for Supporting Peaceful Reunification of Korea.

The news agency quoted them as saying that the most realistic way of reunifying the Korean peninsula is to accept the federal formula now that there exist in the north and the south of Korea differing ideologies and social systems and both are asserting their own social systems.

The DPRK has made a lot of efforts to achieve the peaceful reunification of the peninsula.

The issue of Korea's reunification should be decided by the Koreans themselves under any circumstances.

The confrontation between the north and the south is the one of reunification formulas. Any action obstructive to Korea's reunification is intolerable.

The world backs Korea's reunification.

Peter Woods expressed the will to positively let the world community know about the DPRK's proposal for achieving reunification by federal formula.

Rachmawati Soekarnoputri called for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from south Korea.

Noting that the U.S. forces in south Korea are a key factor of escalating the tension on the peninsula, she said it is hard to expect constructive peace talks between the north and the south unless the U.S. forces withdraw from south Korea. The U.S. should withdraw its forces from south Korea at once in order to ensure peace and security on the peninsula and achieve the peaceful reunification of Korea, she held.
