Neighboring Countries Urged to Do Things Helpful to Korea's Reunification
Pyongyang, February 28 (KCNA) -- No other nation in the world has suffered the pain of division and been exposed to long-term nuclear threat for more than half a century as the Korean nation, says Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in an article.

Citing facts to prove this is attributable to the U.S., not to lack of the Korean nation's desire for reunification, the article goes on:

But for the U.S. interference, the Korean nation would have built a reunified prosperous country by its united efforts long ago.

Putting an end to the U.S. military presence in south Korea is an urgent priority in solving the issue of Korea's reunification.

The termination of the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea would remove the basic factor threatening peace of the country and the greatest obstacle in the way of its reunification. Then the most dangerous hotbed of war in the world will disappear and circumstances favorable for global peace and security be created.

Japan is also an arch criminal behind the division of Korea together with the U.S.

Japan should abandon the ambition to reinvade the Korean peninsula, make liquation and apology for the wrongdoings it committed against the Korean nation in the past and no longer obstruct Korea's reunification.

Countries around Korea should do things helpful to the Korean nation's aspiration and efforts for the reunification.

Peace and security of the region and the world would be unthinkable apart from the peace and security of the Korean peninsula.

The countries should do things helpful to the efforts of the DPRK if they truly want peace of the peninsula and the region.
