It goes on:

National reunification was the lifetime desire of the peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu and is the greatest national historic task of the present generation.

President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il are the eternal sun of the nation and the lodestar of the country's reunification who worked heart and soul till the last moments of their lives to hand over the reunified country to the fellow countrymen, taking to heart the national split more than any others.

It was the President who said with deep emotion that the country's reunification was the best gift he would like to present to the Koreans. And it was Kim Jong Il who put forth the famous aphorism that the struggle for the country's reunification was the greatest patriotic struggle for the Korean nation, arousing patriotism among its members.

It is the supreme national task and sacred patriotic cause whose solution brooks no further delay to realize their last instructions for the country's reunification and their noble desire for it.

If the Koreans fail to reunify the country in the present generation, this burden will come down on the shoulders of the next generation.

The country's reunification is the greatest national task to be fulfilled by the present generation.

It is national disgrace that the Koreans are still undergoing the national tragedy and sufferings resulting from the territorial division caused by foreign forces and the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the Lee group to escalate the confrontation and ignite a war.

Those who have the blood and soul of the Koreans should turn out as one in the patriotic struggle to defend the sovereignty and dignity of the nation and realize their cherished desire, no matter where and what they do.
