Pyongyang, October 14 (KCNA) -- The British branch of the Korean Friendship Association, the British Group for the Study of the Juche Idea and the British Association for the Study of Songun Policy made public a joint statement on Oct. 3 on the 4th anniversary of the historic October 4 declaration.

The declaration for implementing the June 15 joint declaration serves as an important milestone for independent and peaceful reunification of Korea and the inter-Korean cooperation, the statement said, and went on:

However, the south Korean authorities totally denied the above-said declarations and have intensified reckless hostile moves against the DPRK in collusion with foreign forces including the U.S. and Japan.

They orchestrated all sorts of fabrications against the DPRK and arrested and suppressed pro-reunification patriots in south Korea and many other personages who praised the socialist system of the DPRK.

We fully support the south Korean people in their struggle to embody the spirit of "By our nation itself" and pull the U.S. forces out of south Korea by implementing the October 4 declaration, stressed the statement.
