Detailed Report Released on Anniversary of June 15 Joint Declaration

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- The last seven years are a period of victory as it witnessed the striking demonstration of the validity and tremendous vitality of the idea of "By our nation itself", the basic spirit of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration, and a period of glory and pride as it greeted an era of national reconciliation and unity, a new era of independent reunification, said the National Reconciliation Council in a detailed report issued on June 14 on the occasion of the 7th anniversary of the publication of the joint declaration.
    The idea of "By our nation itself" has helped escalate the movement for national reunification into a nationwide movement involving Koreans in the north and the south and abroad, a massive movement involving people from all walks of life regardless of idea, political view and party affiliation, the detailed report said, and went on:
    The formation of All-Korean Committee for Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration, an umbrella organization of the nationwide reunification movement comprising political parties, organizations and figures from the north and the south and abroad, in March 2005 is of weighty significance in the history of the Korean nation's movement for reunification.
    The formation of the committee provided the Korean nation with a mother body, a powerful body for organizationally promoting great national unity, an organization capable of coordinating the aspiration and will of the fellow countrymen for reunification and helped make a new history of independent reunification through organizational alliance of Koreans in the north and the south and abroad.
    Over the last seven years since the publication of the joint declaration actions against the U.S. and foreign forces have got more dynamic nationwide.
    Voices demanding an end to the U.S. military occupation and colonial rule and the moves for a nuclear war and arms buildup and the DPRK-targeted war maneuvers have grown stronger in the north and the south and abroad and this led to the realization of nationwide solidarity and alliance in the struggle against the U.S. and foreign forces and the formation of a structure of confrontation between the Korean nation striving to defend national independence and dignity and the U.S.
    Full support and high praises of the Songun policy, the treasured sword for national reunification, are growing stronger in south Korea as the days go by. The idea of "By our nation itself" has brought about a signal turn in the north-south relations: The history of distrust and confrontation which lasted for over half a century has been replaced by a new history of reconciliation and cooperation and undertakings have become more brisk to rejoin the severed blood ties of the nation and dialogue has been rejuvenated to achieve reunification.
    Such stirring reality today goes to prove that the idea of "By our nation itself" is, indeed, a noble common idea for the Korean nation to uphold and that Koreans can achieve independence, peace, reunification and prosperity of the nation only when they advance under the banner of "By our nation itself".
    The eye-opening successes made in the efforts to achieve national reconciliation and unity and the reunification of the country would be unthinkable without the outstanding and tested leadership of Kim Jong Il who provided the historic June 15 joint declaration and ushered in a new era of independent reunification, the era of "By our nation itself".
    The Songun policy of Kim Jong Il serves as an undying banner and treasured sword to win certain victory as it ushered in the June 15 era of independent reunification and helped defend it.
    His leadership over the movement for national reunification is the key driver behind the June 15 era of independent reunification and his ardent love for the country and the nation, fixed will for reunification and all-embracing policy and benevolent policy applied nationwide are a source of strength which firmly unites all the fellow countrymen under the banner of the June 15 joint declaration and powerfully arouses them to the struggle for independent reunification.

Anniversary of Inter-Korean Joint Declaration Marked

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- Newspapers here today dedicate editorials to the 7th anniversary of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.
    The last seven years after the adoption of the joint declaration were an emotion-charged period during which the Korean nation's will and desire for independent reunification were strikingly demonstrated at home and abroad, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:
    All Koreans resolutely rejected the outsiders' intervention in keeping with the spirit of the joint declaration and advanced the national reunification movement with the will and consciousness of being its driving force. The principle of national independence and the idea of "By our nation itself" were strictly adhered to in the struggle for national cohesion and reunification. This was a proud picture of struggle in the June 15 era of reunification.
    The idea of "By our nation itself", the basic spirit of the joint declaration, became a spirit of the era and a national idea that has been deeply rooted in the mind of all the Koreans desirous of the independent reunification of the country.
    Established in the national reunification movement were the strong will of national independence and "By our nation itself".
    The U.S. impudent interference in the internal affairs of the Korean nation proved futile.
    The reality of the June 15 era of reunification in which the spirit of national independence has been displayed is a good result of Kim Jong Il's idea and will for independent reunification.
    The struggle for independent reunification, staged under the banner of "By our nation itself" for seven years, powerfully demonstrated the attraction and vitality of the joint declaration.
    Stressing the need for all Koreans to settle the problems of north-south relations and national reunification with the stand of giving importance and priority to the nation and get united under the banner of "By our nation itself", the paper says:
    They should wage a more vigorous struggle against the foreign forces and their followers stemming the trend of the era of independent reunification and threatening the security of the Korean nation.
    They should dynamically make a nation-wide campaign to smash the anti-national separatist moves of the U.S. and the pro-American conservatives of south Korea.
    Minju Joson editorially calls on the 70 million Koreans to turn out as one to implement the tasks of attaching importance to the nation, defending peace and achieving unity.


All Koreans Called upon to Implement June 15 Joint Declaration

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- The adoption of the June 15 Joint Declaration marked a historic event as it ushered in the national history a new era of achieving independent reunification by the concerted efforts of the Koreans by rejecting foreign forces. Rodong Sinmun today notes this in a signed article. It goes on:
    Over the past seven years when the nation has advanced under the uplifted banner of the June 15 Joint Declaration, a lot of successes have been achieved in the movement for the country's reunification.
    The idea of "By our nation itself" has been fully embodied in the movement for national reunification.
    Shouts of "By our nation itself" could be heard from wherever Koreans live, be they in the north, the south and overseas, thus becoming slogans for reunification chanted by them and serving as a banner for a patriotic struggle.
    The dynamic movement for the country's reunification under way throughout Korea in the idea of "By our nation itself" gave further momentum to the campaigns bitterly censuring and condemning the U.S. aggressors for having committed all sorts of crimes in south Korea after bringing the tragedy of division and disasters to the Koreans.
    This movement has developed to be a movement for great national unity powerfully promoting the unity of the whole nation. It is now in the process of developing to be a struggle for solidarity and alliance involving people of all strata with the All-Korean Committee for Implementation of June 15 Joint Declaration as an umbrella body.
    The Koreans' nation-wide movement for reunification and patriotism has dealt a telling blow at the U. S. and warlike forces of south Korea pursuing confrontation and war against the DPRK.
    All Koreans have struggled in unity under the uplifted banner of peace against war, well aware that peace against war is a vital demand common to the nation and provides a way of defending the cause of independent reunification. In this course, they have foiled every reckless move of the warmongers.
    Over the past seven years foreign forces and anti-reunification forces in south Korea have become evermore undisguised in challenging their march for reunification. In view of this situation Kim Jong Il has bolstered the war deterrent, a guarantee for the peace on the Korean Peninsula, in every way under the uplifted banner of Songun, enabling the fellow countrymen to develop the movement for reunification, freely visiting each other and promoting reconciliation.
    All Koreans should as always actively support and defend the patriotic Songun policy and wage a dynamic nation-wide movement for reunification to implement the June 15 Joint Declaration true to the noble idea and intention of Kim Jong Il for independent reunification.


June 15 Reunification Era Opened in Idea of "By Our Nation Itself"

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- Seven years have passed since the June 15 reunification era has opened thanks to the historic Pyongyang meeting.
    During the period, all the Koreans in the north, south and abroad have vigorously advanced along the road of national unity and reunification, discarding the consciousness of division and confrontation and pooling efforts and ideas under the banner of "by our nation itself".
    Multi-channeled dialogues and contacts of the authorities and civilians have been held briskly on the principle of national independence between the north and the south of Korea and cooperation and exchange made to help the independent reunification and co-prosperity of the nation, defying the vicious anti-reunification and confrontation moves of the reactionaries within and without.
    People of all social standings in the north and south have held colorful reunification events including the grand festivals for national reunification in Pyongyang, Seoul, Mt. Kumgang and other parts, making the whole country replete with the enthusiasm for reunification.
    This year, too, has witnessed a big advance in the reunification movement of the Korean people to promote reconciliation and cooperation.
    Trial train operations were made on the east and west coastal railroad lines re-linked between the north and the south and the first meeting of the Taekwon-Do integration coordinating committee was held to merge the International Taekwon-Do Federation and World Taekwon-Do Federation into one.
    The Korean people have fully demonstrated at home and abroad that they could achieve the national unity and reunification by themselves through the 20th and 21st inter-Korean ministerial talks, 5th video meeting and 15th reunion of separated families and relatives, May Day reunification meeting of workers in the north and the south for implementation of the June 15 Joint Declaration and others.
    Developments show that the June 15 reunification era is a new era for the reunification and prosperity of Korea and nobody can hold in check the advance of the Korean nation shaping its destiny with joint efforts.

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesman Blasts U.S. Establishment of MD

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK Friday issued the following statement in connection with the fact that the U.S. attempt to establish the Missile Defense System (MD) has now entered a grave phase, disturbing the world:
    The U.S. plan to deploy an interceptor missile base and radar station, a link in the whole chain of the MD, in Poland and the Czech Republic and plug Australia into the MD in the wake of drawing Japan into it in the Asia-Pacific is arousing deep apprehension and rebuff from many countries of the world.
    The U.S. has asserted that the worldwide MD it is working to build is aimed to deter missile attack from the DPRK and Iran, but it is no more than a clumsy pretext.
    One can see that the MD has nothing to do with the DPRK only if one studies from which it originated.
    As is well known to the world, the MD pushed forward by the Bush administration at present originated from a "strategic defense initiative" which the Reagan administration worked out to attack the former Soviet Union during the period of the Cold War.
    It is clear even from the scale of the MD at the present phase that this huge defence network is not targeted against just a few small countries.
    It is nonsensical for the U.S. to assert that it is expanding the MD network to far away Oceania in the south beyond Japan and Guam from Alaska to intercept missiles from the DPRK. And it is illogical for the U.S. to claim that it is deploying an interceptor missile base in Eastern Europe beyond Greenland and Britain to intercept those from Iran.
    Had the U.S. felt really threatened by the missile capacity of the DPRK, it would have had already several opportunities of seeking a negotiated settlement of the issue on an equal footing, not by wasting a stupendous amount of funds.
    The DPRK had already proposed negotiations on the issue of missiles to the U.S. and European countries in view of their concerns in the period of Clinton administration. It even took such a measure of good faith as unilaterally declaring a moratorium on the long-range missile launch while the DPRK-U.S. talks were underway with a view to promoting confidence.
    But no sooner had the Bush administration taken office than it turned aside these opportunities and pursued one-sided and hard-line hostile policy toward the DPRK, thus compelling it to bolster deterrence including the missile capacity.
    This proves that the U.S. needed a pretext on which to push ahead with the establishment of the MD.
    The U.S. is now pushing forward the MD in the direction of sieging Eurasia from both east and west.
    It has been the core of the U.S. strategy for world domination since the demise of the Cold War to deter any force from emerging to challenge it.
    It is the view of the U.S. that there are powers in Eurasia which have such potentials and those potentials have recently grown at a faster pace than expected.
    Much upset by this, the present U.S. administration decided to push ahead with the MD although its technical effectiveness has not yet been fully certified.
    It is the calculation of the U.S. that if big powers in Eurasia become embroiled in arms race to cope with it this would be good for weakening them and in case this does not happen, it would be advisable for it to unilaterally perfect and expand the MD so as to neutralize the nuclear retaliatory capacity of other big powers and maintain unchallenged military hegemony.
    If such moves are allowed to go on, there will be neither trend toward multi-polarization nor any hope for democratization in the world. And it will be exposed to the military blackmail and high-handed practices of the only hegemonic country.
    The U.S. cites small countries as a pretext for its MD but it is not the issue of such nature which can be settled even when those pretexts are no longer available, given the strategic importance the U.S. attaches to it.
    The U.S. ever-more undisguised row of finding fault with the DPRK and the arms race escalating in the areas around Korea due to the U.S. moves will only force the DPRK to bolster its deterrent for self-defence.

Choe Hong Hui's Death Anniversary Commemorated

   Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- A memorial service took place at the Patriotic Martyrs Cemetery today to commemorate the 5th death anniversary of Choe Hong Hui, ex-president of the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF).

    It was attended by Ryu Mi Yong, chairwoman of the C.C., the Korean Chondoist Chongu Party, Hwang Pong Yong, chairman of the Korean Taekwon-Do Committee, Taekwon-Do instructors and players of Korea.
    Amid the playing of wreath-laying music, the participants placed wreaths, bouquets and flowers before Choe's grave in the name of the Korean Taekwon-Do Committee and the ITF and the Committee for Overseas Compatriots of Korea and paid a silent tribute to him.
    Hwang Pong Yong said in his memorial address that the participants honor the memory of Choe, first president of the ITF who devoted his all to Taekwon-Do, on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of his death.
    He recalled that Choe organized the ITF and trained a great many Taekwon-Do players.
    President Kim Il Sung received Choe several times, giving teachings on how to develop the ITF and praising him as a patriot and chief of Taekwon-Do, he noted, and said:
    The modern Taekwon-Do Hall was built in Pyongyang under the warm loving care of Kim Jong Il and the feats performed by Choe in the field of Taekwon-Do are shining along with the history of the Korean nation and the international history of Taekwon-Do.
    The Taekwon-Do players have a mission to further develop Taekwon-Do, he said, stressing that this desire of Choe would certainly come true.
    Then more memorial speeches were made.
    That day the participants watched an exhibition performance given by Taekwon-Do instructors and players of the DPRK at the Taekwon-Do Hall.

    Este ideal convirtio el movimiento por la reunificacion de la patria en un movimiento pannacional abarcando el Norte, el Sur y ultramar, y en un movimiento masivo que implica a los habitantes de distintos estratos por encima de las diferencias de ideas, criterios politicos y dependencias.
    Tiene gran significado en la historia del movimiento por la reunificacion de la nacion coreana la fundacion en marzo de 2005 del "Comite Conjunto Nacional para la Ejecucion de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio" (Comite Conjunto Nacional del 15 de Junio) que es organo de movimiento pannacional por la reunificacion implicando los partidos politicos, entidades y personalidades del Norte, el Sur y ultramar.

    Durante estos 7 anos que datan de la publicacion de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio se desplego con mas vigor en el ambito nacional la lucha antiyanqui y anti-fuerzas foraneas.
    En el Norte, el Sur y ultramar resonaron voces de repudio a la ocupacion militar y dominacion colonial de EE.UU. y en contra de su guerra nuclear, aumento armamentista y ejercicios de guerra de agresion al Norte de Corea y hoy dia se realizaron la solidaridad y unidad de toda la nacion en la lucha contra los yanquis y otras fuerzas foraneas y se formo la estructura de confrontacion de toda la nacion coreana vs. EE.UU. para defender la independencia y la dignidad de la nacion.
    En el Sur de Corea cobran auge el apoyo y el elogio a la politica de Songun (priorizacion militar) que es remedio de la reunificacion de la patria.
    El ideal de "Entre nosotros, los connacionales" trajo un avance trascendental en las relaciones intercoreanas. Paso de la historia de desconfianza y confrontacion de mas de medio siglo a la nueva historia de reconciliacion y cooperacion, y se lograron el contacto de compatriotas separados y la union de las vias ferreas cortadas, se revitalizo el dialogo de reunificacion entre connacionales.
    La conmovedora realidad de hoy prueba que el ideal de "Entre nosotros, los connacionales" es el noble ideal comun de la nacion y solo al avanzar con este ideal es posible lograr la independencia, la paz, la reunificacion y la prosperidad de la nacion.
    Estos exitos asombrosos logrados hoy en la empresa para lograr la reconciliacion, la unidad nacional y la reunificacion del pais no se pueden concebir al margen de la destacada y probada orientacion del Dirigente Kim Jong Il quien preparo la historica Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio y dio inicio a la nueva epoca de la reunificacion independiente, la epoca de "Entre nosotros, los connacionales".
    La politica de Songun del Dirigente Kim Jong Il es la inmortal bandera e invencible remedio que dio inicio a la epoca de reunificacion independiente del 15 de junio.
    La orientacion del Dirigente es la fuerza motriz que impulso energicamente la epoca de la reunificacion independiente iniciada el 15 de junio y su fervoroso amor por la patria y la nacion, su firme voluntad de reunificacion y su politica abarcadora y de virtudes materializada a escala nacional son fuente de la fuerza que aglutina a toda la nacion bajo la bandera del 15 de junio y la llama energicamente a la reunificacion independiente.

    La realidad de hoy, en que reina el impetu de independencia nacional, es el brillante resultado de la idea y la voluntad del Dirigente Kim Jong Il sobre la reunificacion independiente.
    La lucha de esos 7 anos por la reintegracion desarrollada bajo la bandera de "Entre nosotros, los connacionales" demostro energicamente la fuerza atractiva y la vitalidad de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio.
    La nacion coreana tiene que solucionar el problema de las relaciones Norte-Sur y el de reunificacion en la posicion de dar importancia y preponderancia a la nacion y lograr la unidad bajo la bandera ya referida.
    Tambien, debe desarrollar una vigorosa lucha contra las fuerzas foraneas y sus satelites, que frenan la corriente de la epoca de reunificacion independiente y amenazan la seguridad nacional.
    Igualmente, ha de desarrollar una intensa lucha pannacional por destruir las maniobras antinacionales y anti-reunificacion de EE.UU. y las fuerzas conservadoras proyanquis del Sur de Corea.
    Por su parte, el periodico Minju Joson exhorta en su editorial a los 70 millones de coreanos a levantarse como un solo hombre en el cumplimiento de las tres tareas: la preponderancia de la nacion, la defensa de la paz y el logro de la union.


Movimiento por la reunificacion independiente

   Pyongyang, 15 de junio (ATCC) -- El periodico Rodong Sinmun, en un articulo individual insertado en su edicion de este viernes, senala que la aprobacion de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio fue un evento historico que dio inicio a la nueva epoca de la empresa para realizar la reunificacion independiente con las fuerzas unidas de la nacion al rechazar las fuerzas foraneas.
    Durante estos siete anos pasados bajo la bandera de esta declaracion, fueron logrados muchos exitos en el movimiento por la reunificacion de la patria, refiere el rotativo y prosigue:
    Se materializo cabalmente el ideal de "Entre nosotros, los connacionales" en tal movimiento. Este ideal lo portaron como una consigna pannacional de la reunificacion y bandera de la lucha patriotica los coreanos del Norte, el Sur y en ultramar. Este movimiento se desplego vigorosamente en el ambito pannacional bajo este ideal y elevo como nunca las voces de repudio y condena a los agresores yanquis que imponen la division y catastrofe a los coreanos y cometen los actos criminales de toda indole en Corea del Sur.
    El movimiento se desarrollo en un movimiento pannacional que impulsa energicamente la union de toda la nacion. Ahora se convierte en una lucha conjunta solidaria de todas las clases y capas que tienen por entidad madre el Comite Conjunto Nacional del 15 de Junio.
    El movimiento dio demoledor golpe a EE.UU y las fuerzas belicistas surcoreanas que persiguen la confrontacion con la RPDC y la guerra contra esta. Todos los coreanos, conscientes de que la paz antibelica es la demanda vital comun de la nacion y la via para defender la causa de reunificacion independiente, enarbolaron esta bandera para frustrar a cada paso con las fuerzas unidas las maniobras imprudentes de los belicistas.
    En estos siete anos, fueron muy obstinadas las maniobras de las fuerzas foraneas y los belicistas surcoreanos que impiden la marcha de los compatriotas para la reunificacion de la patria. Pero el Dirigente Kim Jong Il con la bandera del Songun (priorizacion militar) en alto vino consolidando por todos los medios el disuasivo que asegura la paz de la Peninsula Coreana, gracias a lo cual los coreanos pudieron reciprocar visitas para lograr la concordia y desarrollar el movimiento por la reunificacion.
    @Toda la nacion, tambien en lo adelante al igual que el pasado en pleno acato a la noble idea y voluntad de reunificacion independiente del Dirigente Kim Jong Il, librara con mas vigor el movimiento por esta empresa a escala nacional para la materializacion de la Declaracion Conjunta del 15 de Junio apoyando activamente la patriotica politica de Songun.
