The work is the library for the national unity which gives scientific answers to the theoretical and practical problems arising in achieving the cause of the national reunification with the efforts of the nation by consummating President Kim Il Sung's Juche-oriented idea, policies and exploits for the great unity of the nation in a comprehensive way and developing them in depth in accordance with the developing reality.

As clarified in the work, the President's idea on the great unity of the nation is an out-and-out idea of national independence, a noble idea of loving the country and nation and a most broad-minded idea of national unity that he had advanced by applying the Juche idea to the national issue.

He in the work put forward the five-point policy for the great national unity to be served as a guideline in accomplishing the reunification cause, noting that the President's great idea and feats for the national unity should be adhered to and carried forward.

??The five-point policy for great national unity stresses that great national unity must be based on the principle of national independence, the entire nation unite under the banner of patriotism and national reunification, relations between the north and south be improved, the whole nation reject domination and interference of outsiders and fight against the traitors to the nation and the anti-reunification forces, who are in collusion with foreign forces, and all the Koreans in the north, south and abroad visit one another, hold contacts, promote dialogue and bolster up solidarity among them.

The five-point policy had no sooner be made public than it enjoyed full support and approval of the entire Koreans. It has demonstrated its validity and great vitality to the full.

Its correctness was proved once again by the historic Pyongyang summit in June Juche 89 (2000) and the publication of the June 15 joint declaration embodying the idea of "By our nation itself".

The reunification movement, which had forged ahead full of vitality in the June 15 reunification era, met with grave challenge with the south Korean conservative authorities' assumption to power last year.

The conservative ruling forces of south Korea, going against the fellow-countrymen's unity and reunification aspiration in a vicious way and inciting national confrontation frantically, are negating the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, declarations for the independent reunification and the great national unity, supported by the entire nation, regarding the fellow-countrymen with hostility and driving the north-south relations deeper into catastrophic bog in league with foreign forces.

In particular, they are going to impose a disaster of nuclear war upon the Korean nation by frantically intensifying war provocation moves in collusion with aggressive foreign forces in an attempt to achieve their wild ambition "to invade the north for reunification".

There are manifold trials and difficulties on the way to the country's reunification but the independent reunification cause of the Korean people will be certainly accomplished as long as they have the great idea and policy of great national unity leading them along the one road of patriotism.
