The Russian Group for Solidarity with the DPRK said on Jan. 6:

Marshal Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address stressed that all the Korean people in the north, in the south and abroad will smash all challenges and obstructive moves by the anti-reunification forces in and out of the country and build a dignified and prosperous reunified Korea on this land without fail under the banner of By Our Nation Itself.

The three principles of national reunification are the proposals for reunifying Korea independently and peacefully and on the principle of great national unity.

Kim Jong Un said that we will have an open-minded discussion on the reunification issue, one of the national issues, with anyone who is truly desirous of national reconciliation and unity, peace and reunification.

The cause of the Korean nation for the country's reunification will enjoy invariable support.

The Guinea-Korea Friendship Association on Jan. 5 fully supported the proposals for national reunification set forth by Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address.

It went on: We strongly demand the south Korean authorities discontinue such a humiliating act as going on a tour of foreign countries touting for "cooperation" in resolving the internal issues of the nation.

We also demand that the south Korean authorities not seek pointless confrontation of systems, but make it clear that they intend to respect and implement with sincerity the three principles of national reunification, June 15 joint declaration and October 4 declaration, which crystallize the general will of the nation and whose validity has been proved in practice if they are sincere about improving inter-Korean relations and reunifying the country peacefully.
