The Thailand-DPRK Friendship Association in its statement on June 9 said that the joint declaration is a program for reunification indicating the most correct principle, orientation and ways for solving the issue of national reunification.

It went on:

The publication of the joint declaration brought the Korean nation a brighter prospect of the reunification movement.

The inter-Korean relations have been put into a collapse by the moves of the present south Korean conservative regime to scuttle the efforts to implement the joint declaration and scrap it at any cost, keen to escalate the confrontation with fellow countrymen.

We fully support the Korean people in their efforts to implement the joint declaration, the statement noted.

On the same day the Pakistan Committee for Supporting Korea's Reunification said in its statement that the joint declaration indicated an ideological foundation and fundamental way for achieving national reconciliation, unity and reunification, stressing that as the aim of the declaration is to settle the issue of reunification by concerted efforts of the Korean nation free from foreign interference, all the Koreans in the north and the south and overseas should firmly preserve the declaration.

Recalling that astonishing changes have taken place in the movement for Korea's reunification since the adoption of the declaration, the statement expressed belief that the Korean people would achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country by frustrating the moves of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities against the DPRK.
