The meeting discussed an action program of Pomminryon for ushering in a heyday of the reunification movement this year.

A report was made at the meeting.

It noted that Pomminryon set it as its major tasks to respect the Three Principles of National Reunification and common agreements of the nation and open the way for improving the relations between the north and the south and worked hard to carry them out last year.

It stressed that Pomminryon fully supports the appeal of the joint conference of the government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK to open up a broad avenue to independent reunification by the concerted efforts of the whole nation this year.

The report clarified the following tasks and ways for glorifying this year as a year of bringing a new phase of independent reunification:

Pomminryon will make continuous efforts in the van to remove acute military conflict and danger of war between the north and the south, create the atmosphere for improving their relations and provide a peaceful environment.

It is necessary to give further momentum to the anti-war peace movement in order to resolutely reject all sorts of slander and sordid hostile acts escalating mistrust and danger of war between the north and the south and to stand against the joint military exercises for aggression under various codenames, which are staged together with outsiders under the signboard of "annual" and "defensive" ones, and arms buildup.

Pomminryon will direct positive efforts to revving up the atmosphere for improved north-south relations as wished and desired by all Koreans.

It is needed to conduct vigorous and various activities for respecting the Three Principles of National Reunification and the north-south agreements such as the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration and translating them into a reality.

Out of its desire to pave a new path for peace and independent reunification of the country, Pomminryon will turn out to make the pan-national gathering for reunification a historic one attended by personages representing all classes and strata of Koreans at home and abroad and other many compatriots in name and reality.

It will give spurs in the van to the nationwide movement for meeting the challenges of the separatist forces at home and abroad going against the nation's desire for reunification.

Pomminryon should fully display its responsibility and mission as vanguard for independent reunification and standard-bearer of great national unity so as to glorify this year marking the 45th anniversary of the publication of the July 4 joint statement and the 10th anniversary of the publication of the October 4 declaration as a very significant year in opening a new phase for independent reunification.

A joint resolution was adopted at the meeting.
