It is 20 years after President Kim Il Sung left his last autograph on a historic document concerning Korea's reunification. The autograph shows the undying feats of the President, who devoted all his life to the country's reunification.

He had worked heart and soul for national reunification till the last moments of his life, saying that the country's reunification would be the greatest gift to the Korean people.

He always cared much about the national reunification issue. He took the issue into consideration even when drawing up any state and party policy and guiding economic and external affairs.

Leader Kim Jong Il had wisely led the struggle for implementing the President's last instructions on national reunification, performing great exploits to be recorded in the history of the Korean nation.

Through his energetic ideo-theoretical activities, he codified Kim Il Sung's undying exploits for national reunification by publishing such celebrated works as "Let Us Carry Out the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung's Instructions for National Reunification" and "Let Us Reunify the Country Independently and Peacefully through the Great Unity of the Entire Nation".

He formulated as the three charters for Korea's reunification the three principles of national reunification, the ten-point programme for great national unity and the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo. And he provided historic north-south summits in Pyongyang, at which the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration were adopted, ushering in a new era of independent reunification, peace and prosperity.

The great feats of the Generalissimos for national reunification are further shining under the guidance of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

His New Year Address reflecting the steadfast resolve and will for Korea's reunification serves as an inspiring banner arousing all the fellow countrymen to the nationwide reunification movement as it clarified the detailed tasks for bringing about a fresh progress in the movement this year.

It is a patriotic struggle related to the nation's destiny in the new century of Juche to implement the behests of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il for the country's reunification.

All Koreans in the north, the south and abroad should get closely united in the idea of By Our Nation Itself to open up a new phase for independent reunification, peace and prosperity this year without fail.
