He said:

The crucial proposal sent by the NDC of the DPRK to the south Korean authorities clearly showed at home and abroad the steadfast will and determination of the Korean people to achieve the independent reunification, peace and prosperity of the country by their concerted efforts.

Supreme leader Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address stressed the need to firmly adhere to the standpoint of By Our Nation Itself, make a dynamic struggle for defending national security and peace and create the atmosphere for improving the north-south relations.

The crucial proposal of the NDC of the DPRK is a very just and significant one for carrying out the proposals for national reunification put forward by Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address.

We fully support the crucial proposal and wish the DPRK government and people greater success in their struggle for national reunification.
