The statement said that 59 years have passed since the U.S. imperialists ignited a war of aggression on the young DPRK and about 56 years have passed since the Armistice Agreement was signed but peace and stability have not yet been ensured on the Korean Peninsula.

It stressed that the Korean people have waged a vigorous struggle for the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea under the guidance of President Kim Il Sung and General Secretary
Kim Jong Il.

But the movement for Korea's reunification is now facing a grave difficulty owing to the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and the anti-DPRK moves of the Lee Myung Bak puppet regime of south Korea, the statement noted.

Bitterly denouncing the U.S. imperialists and their stooges for their war moves, the statement urged them to stop at once their hostile acts against the DPRK.

It expressed full support for the Korean people in their struggle for the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.
