This is a fruition brought about by the sincere efforts made by the DPRK for the implementation of the north-south agreement in the wake of the high-level urgent contact and its warm patriotism and the firm will of the DPRK to give momentum to the atmosphere of improving the relations through dialogue and cooperation in the spirit of By Our Nation Itself, the article notes, and goes on:

Independent reunification and prosperity common to the nation would be unthinkable without dialogue, cooperation, reconciliation and unity of the north and the south.

The fundamental purpose of improving the north-south relations is to independently solve the issue of the destiny of the nation.

In order to improve the north-south relations, it is necessary to wipe out misunderstanding and mistrust, respect and trust the dialogue partner and get reconciled and seek cooperation on the basis of common points while shelving differences.

The fundamental stand and attitude to be maintained for improving the north-south relations are the spirit of By Our Nation Itself.

The June 15 era of reunification had already proved what an excellent product was brought about by the north-south dialogue and cooperation in the spirit of By Our Nation Itself.

Useless are dialogue and contacts pursuing confrontation of social systems while shunning the desire of the fellow countrymen and the requirements of the times.

The north-south relations can never be improved as long as the south Korean authorities pursue "unification of social systems" with the backing of outsiders.

Invariable is the principled stand of the DPRK to pursue reconciliation, unity and cooperation from the stand of By Our Nation Itself by putting the interests common to the nation above all.
