Pak Hae Jon, permanent representative of the organization, addressed the meeting.

13 years after the publication of the June 15 joint declaration which reflects the desire of all fellow countrymen for reunification teach the truth that to achieve independent reunification, peace and prosperity by following through on the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration is the hope of the nation and a way out, and that if one stands against them, one will face ruin, he said.

He denounced the "government" for rejecting the proposal of the north on holding joint national events marking the 13th anniversary of the June 15 joint declaration.

After the present regime emerged in south Korea, the people began to feel the fear of a nuclear war and were thrown into despair with the shuttered Kaesong Industrial Zone, he said, adding this signals more deteriorated plight the regime will face at the end of its tenure than that of the Lee Myung Bak regime.

He urged the present regime not to follow in the footsteps of the Lee regime but make a fundamental switchover in its policy to implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and overcome the difficulties lying between the south and the north.

He called upon the political parties and civic and public organizations in south Korea to preserve and implement the joint declarations and thus put an end to the history of division and achieve national independence, reunification, peace and prosperity on the occasion of the 13th anniversary of the June 15 joint declaration.
