Rodong Sinmun Calls for Implementing Five-Point Policy of Great National Unity
Pyongyang, October 31 (KCNA) -- Leader Kim Jong Il published the work "Let Us Reunify the Country Independently and Peacefully through the Great Unity of the Entire Nation" on April 18, Juche 87 (1998).

He in the work set it as the five-point policy of the great national unity to abide by the principle of national independence, call on all Koreans to unite under the banner of patriotism, the banner of national reunification, improve the north-south relations, struggle against foreign forces' domination and interference and anti-reunification forces and develop all Koreans' contacts and dialogue and strengthen their solidarity and alliance.

The five-point policy of the great national unity serves as an immortal great programme for independent reunification which most correctly reflects the needs of the era and the aspiration and will of all Koreans for unity and reunification, says Rodong Sinmun Friday in an article.

It goes on:

The policy for achieving the great national unity on the principle of national independence serves as a powerful weapon for achieving the country's reunification with the nation's driving force and the independent development of a reunified country and prosperity common to the nation.

The principle of national independence is the core of solving the nation's problem and a basis of great national unity.

This principle calls for solving all issues arising in accomplishing the cause of national reunification by the concerted efforts of the Koreans.

The policy for getting all Koreans united under the banner of patriotism, the banner of national reunification, is an expression of the idea of patriotism and noble intention of Kim Jong Il to achieve the country's reunification by uniting all people who value the soul of the nation irrespective of ideology and social system, political view and religious belief.

The validity and vitality of the five-point policy of the great national unity which reflects Kim Jong Il's iron-willed patriotic will for reunification were strikingly demonstrated in the reality of the June 15 era of reunification and they powerfully encourage all the Koreans in the cause of great national unity.
