Present there were members of organizations of the committee in different fields and its regional headquarters and figures of the South Headquarters of the National Alliance for the Reunification of the Country, the south Korean Federation of Women's Organizations and other organizations of different circles and bereaved families of democratic martyrs. They were also attended by members of the 6th- term vanguard for reunification of the Federation of Trade Unions of south Korea.

Speakers at one of the events condemned the Lee Myung Bak "government" for unhesitatingly perpetrating such anti-reunification acts as totally blocking the implementation of the historic declarations and bedeviling the inter-Korean relations.

They stressed that the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration belong to the 70 million fellow countrymen and they should be, therefore, implemented without fail.

A resolution read out there urged the "government" to respect the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, its action programme, and opt to implement them, though belatedly.

Then followed a photo exhibition and an art performance.

Meanwhile, a rally and an art performance of youth and students to mark the first anniversary of the October 4 declaration were held in Phaju on the same day under the sponsorship of the Headquarters of Youth and Students of the committee.

A resolution read out at the rally noted that youth and students would wage a positive mass movement to assail the Lee Myung Bak group for escalating its moves for confrontation with fellow countrymen while totally negating the historic declarations.
