The Daily Folk in an article titled "Historic milestone for Korea's reunification" said:

The publication of the June 15 North-South Joint Declaration in Pyongyang 13 years ago was a landmark event that brought about an epochal turn in the Korean nation's movement for reunification.

Thanks to its adoption a new era unimaginable in the past was ushered in.

However, the movement for Korea's reunification faced severe difficulties due to the south Korean conservative group's extreme moves for confrontation with the DPRK.

The June 15 joint declaration serves as a milestone for Korea's reunification supported and hailed by not only the Korean nation but the world.

Korea will certainly be reunified under the banner of the joint declaration.

The Brazilian Committee for Solidarity with the DPRK in an article titled "Echo of June 15" posted on its website referred to the validity and vitality of the joint declaration.

The Korean nation is staging a nationwide struggle to preserve the June 15 joint declaration and bring again the era of peace and prosperity, the article said, and went on:

The south Korean people are denouncing the ruling quarters for pushing the inter-Korean relations to catastrophe, increasing their voices calling for preserving and following through on the joint declaration.

The international community sincerely hopes that the Korean nation will achieve reunification as early as possible under the banner of the June 15 joint declaration and consolidate peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula.
