True to the behest of the President, leader Kim Jong Il made public the immortal work "Let Us Carry Out the Great Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung's Instructions for National Reunification" on August 4, Juche 86 (1997), which inspires all the fellow countrymen to the patriotic struggle for reunification, thus bringing about a great turning point in the movement for national reunification.

The work systemizes and comprehends the exploits the President performed for the cause of national reunification and gives perfect answers to the theoretical and practical issues arising in accomplishing the cause of national reunification.

In the work, the three principles of national reunification, the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo and the 10-point programme of the great unity of the whole nation are formulated into the three charters of national reunification, and the principled issues and ways for implementing the President's Juche-oriented line and policy of national reunification are specified.

In the last 20-odd years, the encyclopedic programme for national reunification has proved its great vitality.

Thanks to the leadership of Kim Jong Il, there had been arranged two historic north-south summits to adopt the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, so that a new era of national reunification with By Our Nation Itself as its main idea was ushered in.

Now, the cause of national reunification is put on a new high stage by the respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un who is reliably carrying forward the great leaders' idea and line of independent reunification.

Two historic inter-Korean summits in Panmunjom and the adoption of the April 27 declaration with national independence as its core make everyone keenly feel the justice and truth of the respected Supreme Leader's Juche-oriented line and policy of national reunification and the inevitability of their triumph and be further confirmed in belief that the great leaders' desire for national reunification will surely come true.
