The statement said:

The publication of the June 15 joint declaration is an event which provided the landmark for Korea's reunification and a historic deed which made a breach in the barrier of division by the U.S. imperialists.

The joint declaration is the shining fruition of leader Kim Jong Il's ardent patriotism and will for reunification.

Enthusiasm for reunification and the new era for the development of inter-Korean relations in the wake of the publication of the joint declaration faced a grave challenge by traitor Lee Myung Bak.

The Korean nation will never pardon Lee.

Park Geun Hye also openly disclosed her ambition for "unification by absorption", keen on the moves for escalating the confrontation with fellow countrymen in the north.

This is intolerable as it is the treacherous act of going against the joint declaration.

We extend full support to the Korean people in their just struggle to reunify the country independently and peacefully under the banner of By Our Nation Itself.
