The statement referred to the fact that fellow countrymen in the north and the south and abroad agreed to significantly hold the reunification event common to the nation on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the publication of the June 15 joint declaration and they have made brisk arrangements for it.

But the Lee Myung Bak regime has banned all visits and exchanges between the north and the south, making it impossible to hold the event, the statement noted, and continued:

The committee, which has made efforts to realize the event for reunification, strongly condemns the Lee Myung Bak regime's anti-reunification traitorous acts in the name of the compatriots in Japan who support the north-south joint declaration and aspire after the national reunification.

The statement declared that the committee would never pardon the Lee Myung Bak regime for violating the June 15 joint declaration and blocking the above-said event.
