In order to achieve the reunification of the country all Koreans should firmly unite under the banner of patriotism, notes Rodong Sinmun. It goes on:

The cause of national reunification is the one to rejoin the severed blood ties of the nation and help the Koreans reappear as a reunified nation.

It is possible to achieve the historical cause of national reunification only when all Koreans in the north and the south and overseas go united close as one, transcending the differences caused by the territorial division.

What is the most important for achieving the great national unity is to adhere to a correct principle for achieving the unity.

The Workers' Party of Korea advanced a line and policies on achieving firm unity with all Koreans, political parties and organizations that have the spirit of national independence and patriotic will in order to realize national reunification. They have displayed their great vitality.

The WPK's idea and line for the great national unity are based on the idea that neither class nor stratum can be above the nation and an individual can be independent only when national independence is attained.

Any Korean who loves the country and the nation should unite close under the banner of patriotism irrespective of ideology, ism, political view, religion, class and stratum. This is the fundamental spirit of the idea of "By our nation itself".

The reality in the June 15 era of reunification eloquently proves that it is possible to frustrate all challenges and obstructive moves of the anti-reunification forces and win the victory in the cause of national reunification only when the Koreans advance under the uplifted banner of "By our nation itself", the idea of the great national unity.

Minju Joson notes that the DPRK's principled and firm stand is commanding the full support of the fellow countrymen as it reflects their will to frustrate the moves of the separatists against reunification through the great national unity and achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country without fail.
