The 15-year course of the struggle for reunification since the publication of the June 15 joint declaration goes to prove that the idea of By Our Nation Itself is the most powerful treasured sword for national reunification and the shining banner for the improvement of the inter-Korean relations.

It is the immutable principle for the improvement of the inter-Korean relations and independent reunification to solve the country's reunification issue independently by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation responsible for it.

However, the south Korean authorities brand the idea of By Our Nation Itself as "chauvinistic nationalism" and viciously challenge the DPRK's efforts for the mending of the north-south relations and national reunification.

Recently the south Korean authorities let loose invectives against the DPRK, claiming that the north advocating the idea of By Our Nation Itself slandered the south.

This is their sinister scenario to insult the noble and patriotic idea of By Our Nation Itself and totally stamp out the spirit of the June 15 joint declaration and realize their scheme for confrontation.

It is necessary for the Korean nation to hold higher the banner of By Our Nation Itself to smash the provocations of the anti-reunification confrontation elements, improve inter-Korean relations and achieve independent reunification.
