Rodong Sinmun says this in an article on Monday.

Koreans can not see a proper solution to issues of the inter-Korean relations and the national reunification if they rely on the foreign forces, the article notes, and goes on:

The U.S. divided Korea into two out of a brigandish ambition to occupy the whole territory of Korea with south Korea as a springboard and has persisted in the vicious hostile policy towards the north.

It is obvious that the outsiders who divided Korea can not help Koreans reunify the country.

Korea's reunification is a matter pertaining to the Korean nation itself and its sovereignty.

It is a treacherous act against the reunification to depend on outsiders and conspire with them, not trying to solve the issue of reunification by the Korean nation itself.

The present ruling quarters of south Korea are attaching more importance to outsiders than to compatriots and confronting the compatriots in collusion with outsiders.

This rash act will ruin the north-south relations and bring a war.

The only way for the Korean nation to improve the north-south relations and achieve the national unity and reunification is to abide by the principle of national independence.

When all the Koreans in the north and the south and abroad pool the patriotic will and minds under the banner of "By our nation itself" and keep pace with each other, a favorable phase for independent reunification would be provided.

No one can dampen the desire and demand of the Korean nation to reject the aggressive outsiders and reunify the country on the principle of national independence.
