To improve the relations between the north and the south of Korea is an important way for defusing the confrontation and tension on the Korean Peninsula and solving the issue of reunification by peaceful means, the article says, adding:

It is the consistent will of the DPRK to pave a wide avenue for peace and reunification and national prosperity by averting the danger of war in the peninsula by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation on the basis of the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and putting an end to the history of confrontation between fellow countrymen.

The long history of national division clearly shows that there is nothing but continued division and terrible war disaster for the north and the south to get from escalation of distrust and confrontation. Moreover, the Koreans keenly realized again in the last three years since the emergence of the present south Korean conservative authorities that confrontation can never be a solution to the issue of the north-south relations and this will only bring armed conflict and war.

Dialogue between the north and the south is an important matter related to the destiny of the nation and the prospect of national reunification, and it is for common interests and prosperity of both sides. If the south Korean authorities persistently check the resumption of north-south dialogue, putting up unreasonable preconditions which can never work on the DPRK, the deteriorated inter-Korean relations will never be improved. The ruling forces of south Korea should, above all, take proper attitude and stand toward the dialogue.

Those separatists who are set to stand in the way of the dialogue for an indefinite period will never evade a stern punishment by history and the nation.
