The Democratic Congo-Korea Friendship and Solidarity Association in a statement said that General Secretary Kim Jong Il provided the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration, paving a wide avenue for independently and peacefully reunifying the country by concerted efforts of the Koreans free from any foreign interference.

The statement recalled the dear respected Kim Jong Un in his historic speech on April 15 said that the DPRK would join hands with anyone who truly wants the reunification of the country and the peace and prosperity of the nation.
