Rodong Sinmun Friday says this in a signed article.

It goes on:

To achieve harmony and unity in the spirit of "By our nation itself" is an issue of strengthening the driving force for national reunification and, at the same time, a very important matter of independently waging the reunification movement, while rejecting the outside forces' interference.

When the north and the south achieve harmony and all the Koreans go united, this will mean the settlement of the main problem in achieving the country's reunification.

The idea of "By our nation itself" serves as a mental engine for achieving victory in the cause of the country's reunification by achieving national reconciliation and unity.

It is the requirement of the idea of "By our nation itself" for the Koreans responsible for the country's reunification to pool efforts and solve the issue of national reunification by themselves in keeping with the will and wish of the nation.

It is the decisive factor of strengthening the movement for national reunification and improving the inter-Korean relations to embody the idea of "By our nation itself".

The reality goes to prove that it is essential for advancing the movement for the country's reunification to solve the issue of the nation and the issue of reunification by the concerted efforts of the Koreans in the north and the south, while rejecting outside forces as required by the above-said idea.

The idea of "By our nation itself" serves as an ideological and moral weapon to smash the moves of the outside forces and the traitors to the nation, their lackeys, for confrontation and war.

The above-said idea means a banner of struggle and a powerful engine for carving out a new history of the nation for independent reunification, peace and prosperity, concludes the article.
