The work comprehensively clarifies the principled stand of the DPRK to settle the issue of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the Korean people without depending on outsiders and achieve national unity. It also indicates tasks and ways for waging a more courageous struggle against the traitors to the nation selling off the country and the nation and the U.S. imperialist aggressors keen to reduce south Korea to their colony and an advanced base for aggression against the DPRK.

Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article dedicated to the anniversary of the work notes that independence against the U.S. and the withdrawal of the U.S. troops are the main slogan for struggle to be consistently put up by the Koreans in the whole course of the struggle to accomplish the cause of independent and peaceful reunification of the country.

More than 60 years have passed since the U.S. imperialists occupied south Korea but their strategy towards Korea to keep the Korean nation divided and dominate it remains unchanged.

It is the only way out for the Korean nation to force the U.S. imperialist aggressor troops to pull out of south Korea and put an end to the U.S. interference in the national internal affairs and to do so is the only just way of achieving the reunification of the country and national prosperity. To this end it is necessary to hold higher the banner of independence against the U.S. and the struggle for the withdrawal of the U.S. troops.

In order to achieve independence against the U.S. and retake the usurped national sovereignty it is necessary to resolutely struggle against the sycophants serving the U.S. and traitors to the nation.

If such Lee Myung Bak group as sycophantic traitors who commit all sorts of acts of treachery, kowtowing to outside forces, in pursuit of personal luxury and glory in utter disregard of the destiny of the country and the nation are allowed to stay in power, the Korean nation will never be able to achieve the reunification of the country but meet only the war disaster imposed upon it by them.
