The vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Anti-imperialist National Democratic Front said this in his statement Friday on the 12th anniversary of the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.

The statement said:

Eye-opening events hardly imaginable in the past took place one after another. This is the precious fruition of the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il who made indefatigable devoted efforts for implementing the last instructions given by President Kim Il Sung for national reunification, regarding it as his lifelong mission.

Kim Jong Un, possessed of Kim Jong Il's personality as a Heaven-sent great man, is leading the movement of all Koreans for national reunification.

The vanguard fighters of the AINDF and people of different social standings will raise a new hot wind of praising the great man, the spirit of following and upholding Kim Jong Un with loyalty just as they advanced the June 15 era of independence and reunification amid the "hot wind of great Kim Jong Il" and thus bring about a landmark phase of national reunification without fail.

The cause of national reunification is sure to be accomplished as it is led by Kim Jong Un and the June 15 joint declaration, a brilliant embodiment of Kim Jong Il's patriotism, invariably serves as a milestone of reunification and the compatriots remain unshakable in their will to achieve national reunification without fail, concluded the statement.
