The statement quoted Kim Jong Un as saying in his New Year address that however complicated the situation may be and whatever obstacles and difficulties may stand in our way, we should unfailingly achieve national reunification, a lifetime wish of President Kim Il Sung and General Kim Jong Il and the greatest desire of the nation, and build a dignified and prosperous reunified country on this land.

The north and the south should refrain from seeking confrontation of systems while absolutizing their own ideologies and systems but achieve great national unity on the principle of By Our Nation Itself to satisfactorily resolve the reunification issue in conformity with the common interests of the nation-this is his intention, it said, adding:

We fully supported his idea on national reunification.

Convinced that the Korean people will achieve significant success in their struggle to reunify the country, we extend invariable solidarity to them.
