Rodong Sinmun Calls for Reunifying Korea Independently
Pyongyang, January 12 (KCNA) -- Koreans should reject foreign forces and reunify the country by their concerted efforts in an independent manner, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined article.

It does not make sense to call for settling the reunification issue of Korea by depending on foreign forces as it is one for retaking the sovereignty of the nation from outsiders, the article notes, and goes on:

Foreign forces which divided the Korean nation do not want to see the north and the south of Korea getting united for reunification. Korea has not yet become one despite the unanimous aspiration and wish of all the Koreans due to foreign forces' aggression moves against the reunification. Koreans should reject the interference and obstructions by foreign forces and reunify the country by pooling their strength and wisdom from independent stand.

The entire Korean nation is the driving force of national reunification and nothing will be impossible in the world if it gets united.

No one can replace the Korean nation in reunifying the country.

Inexhaustible is the strength of the nation firmly united with one aim and idea for independence. To reunify the country independently by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation is the basic principle for accomplishing the cause of national reunification.

The entire Korean nation should resolutely oppose and reject foreign forces' move for domination, interference, aggression and war and never allow any act of obstructing Korea's reunification.

All the Koreans should condemn the U.S. for hindering the national reconciliation, unity and reunification and improved inter-Korean ties and resolutely deter the south Korean ruling quarters from escalating confrontation with fellow countrymen, being backed by foreign forces.

The cause of national reunification is sure to win if the Korean nation opts to settle all the issues arising in improving inter-Korean ties and ensuring peace on the Korean Peninsula by its concerted efforts in an independent manner.
