At the interview Jo referred to the fact that in his New Year Address Marshal Kim Jong Un put up slogan "Let us frustrate the challenges by the anti-reunification forces within and without and usher in a new era of independent reunification!" and comprehensively indicated the tasks and ways for implementing it.

He stressed that Kim Jong Un's New Year Address clarifies the principled matters to be settled to accomplish the cause of reunification such as those of mending the south-north relations and defusing the danger of a war and safeguarding peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.

He went on:

Now all the compatriots are supporting and welcoming the slogan and proposals for national reunification advanced by Kim Jong Un as they are the most realistic and reasonable proposals for reunification.

National reunification is the most urgent and vital greatest task for the nation.

Success or failure of the movement for national reunification this year depends on how the Korean nation carries out the tasks set forth by Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address.

Clear are not only the action goal but also the way to be followed by us.

The way to be followed by the Korean nation at all times is the road of national independence and By Our Nation Itself.

The vanguard fighters of the AINDF will hold Kim Jong Un in high esteem as the lodestar of the national reunification and wage a dynamic struggle for glorifying 2016 as the year of ushering in a fresh era of independent reunification.
