The joint conference held in Pyongyang in April, Juche 37 (1948) on his initiative and under his guidance was attended by representatives of 56 political parties and public organizations in the north and the south. It was a national conference to save the destiny of the country and the nation by achieving the great national unity under the banner of reunification and patriotism in the period when the nation was in the danger of permanent division.

At the conference the President considered it as the greatest political task before the Korean nation to check and frustrate the plots to hold "separate elections" to establish "a separate government" in south Korea and establish a democratic unified government in order to reunify the country. As a way to implement it he laid down a policy calling on all those who were concerned about the destiny of the country and the nation to get united irrespective of political grouping and affiliation and political view.

A wide-ranging great national conference was held to discuss the crucial issue of the nation and an agreement was reached there with a unanimous approval to launch a nation-wide struggle for national salvation against the U.S. This was the precious fruition of the President's independent line of national reunification, the idea of great national unity and all-embracing politics, the article says, and goes on:

The great idea of great national unity maintained by the President all his life and his feats are a precious legacy left by him to the Korean people and a reliable wherewithal for achieving the cause of the country's reunification.

The basic spirit of the joint conference which aroused all the Koreans to the nation-wide struggle for national salvation against the U.S. and the President's idea of great national unity and vitality of his leadership have been clearly proved during the past 63 years when the Koreans have waged a strenuous movement for national reunification. The joint conference proved in practice that Koreans can win a great victory in the struggle for accomplishing the common cause of the nation if they desire independence and unity though they differ in ideology and ism and political view and religious faith.
