The statement of the DPRK government reflects the firm will of First Chairman of the National Defence Commission Kim Jong Un to carry out the last instructions for national reunification of President Kim Il Sung and Chairman of the NDC Kim Jong Il, the statement said, and went on:

All the proposals advanced in the statement are reasonable ones that arouse sympathy from all the Koreans aspiring after the independent and peaceful reunification of the country.

It is natural that the will of the north for peace to settle the complicated issues between the north and the south through dialogue, not by a war, commands support and welcome from fellow countrymen.

It is a very foolish act to continue denying the north's proposals in order to maintain power.

The implementation of the four proposals offered by the north will mark a turning phase for improving the north-south relations and advancing toward peaceful reunification.

The DPRK's government statement carrying the reasonable proposals is very necessary for the interests and prosperity common to the nation.

The Federation of Koreans in the U.S. will hold hands with pro-reunification patriotic forces in the north, the south and abroad and conduct positive solidarity activities for implementing the statement to improve the north-south relations and greet a new turning phase of independent reunification.
