The statement said:

The joint declaration serves as a landmark of Korea's reunification.

The north-south summit, the first of its kind in the history of Korean division, was held in Pyongyang and the joint declaration adopted in June, 2000 thanks to warm patriotism of HE Kim Jong Il.

The joint declaration opened a historic June 15 era of reunification.

In the June 15 era of reunification the north-south relations turned into those of reconciliation and cooperation from those of confrontation and mistrust.

The inter-Korean relations were pushed to a catastrophe by the Lee Myung Bak and Park Geun Hye puppet groups of south Korea which totally denied the joint declaration but the movement of Korea's reunification will as ever dynamically advance in the idea of By Our Nation Itself.

The wild ambition for "unification by absorption" by the Park Geun Hye group of traitors can never be realized.

The Songun politics formulated by HE Kim Jong Il and being carried forward by supreme leader Kim Jong Un serves as an ever-victorious treasured sword for defending the peace on the Korean peninsula.

Thanks to the Songun politics Korea will be surely reunified under the banner of the joint declaration.
