The statement noted that President Kim Il Sung wisely led the movement for national reunification with his broad magnanimity and noble love for the nation, saying that the July 4 joint statement is a fruition borne of his idea of national reunification.

Disclosing that the south Korean puppet authorities denied the joint statement and have been engaged in the confrontation with the fellow countrymen while toeing the U.S. line, it said:

The fundamental principles of Korea's reunification set forth in the joint statement are comprehensively reflected in the June 15 joint declaration and the Oct. 4 declaration.

We extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people's struggle to achieve the independent reunification of the country, rejecting foreign interference.
