The policy clearly indicates the fundamental principle and ways for the Koreans to achieve concord and unity, the article notes, and goes on:

The policy calls on the Koreans to unite and improve the inter-Korean relations under the banner of patriotism on the principle of national independence, struggle against the anti-reunification forces inside and outside Korea and strengthen the solidarity and alliance among compatriots from all walks of life. It has displayed great vitality by promoting the unity of the Korean nation and the reunification movement.

The idea of "By our nation itself" has served as the idea of the era of independent reunification and an unprecedentedly hot wind of reconciliation and unity has swept the country, bringing about a stirring reality in which the reunification movement has grown to be a nation-wide movement.

This goes to clearly prove that it is possible to achieve national reconciliation and unity and accomplish the cause of national reunification only when the Koreans advance under the banner of the five-point policy of great national unity.

Only when they go ahead in hearty response to the five-point policy of great national unity can they unite close as one irrespective of differing ideology, political view and ism, improve the deteriorated inter-Korean relations and vigorously promote the cause of national reunification.
