Peaceful National Reunification Called For

PYONGYANG, June 17 (KCNA)

The avowed principled stand of the Workers’ Party of Korea and the DPRK government to settle the issue of reunification peacefully by the efforts of the Korean nation reflects noble patriotism and will for peaceful reunification, says Rodong Shinmun on June 17 in a signed article.

It is the unanimous desire and wishes of all the Korean people to achieve the peaceful reunification of the country that was divided by the outside forces.

The Korean nation is a peace-loving nation which has keenly felt how dear peace is to it through a protracted and arduous struggle against foreign aggression.

The issue of national reunification is an internal issue of the nation to rejoin severed blood ties of the nation. So, whoever whishes reunification and advocates the nation’s sovereignty does not want a conflict between the fellow countrymen.

Differences in ideologies, ideals and systems that exist in the north and the south cannot be conditions for recourse to arms.

If the north and the south fight each other, it is the Korean nation that will suffer war disaster and it is foreign aggression forces who will fish in troubled waters.

The peaceful reunification of the country is also the desire of the world peace-loving people.

If a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, it will spill over into other parts of Asia and the rest of the world.

The peaceful reunification of Korean requires the U.S. troops’ pullback from south Korea, détente between the north and the south, and lasting peace.

It is the most reasonable method of smoothly and peacefully settling the issue of national reunification to found a reunified federal state based on the conception of one nation, one state, two systems and two governments. This is the most reasonable and fair and aboveboard method of reunification that neither allows any side’s upperhand and pursuit of interests nor hurts either side.

Any Korean who loves the country and the nation and values peace should make all efforts for the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
