The north and the south should respect each other and jointly open an avenue of improving the inter-Korean relations, the article says, and goes on:

The Panmunjom Declaration indicates a correct way for connecting the severed blood vessel of the nation and opening a broad avenue to national reconciliation, unity, peace and reunification.

The historic 3rd and 4th north-south summit meetings and talks and the Panmunjom Declaration were provided by the patriotic will and firm determination to put an end to mistrust and confrontation which has lasted decades after decades and courageously usher in a new era of national reconciliation, peace and prosperity with the concerted efforts of the north and the south.

The adoption of the Panmunjom Declaration laid a valuable foundation for the development of the north-south relations, peace of the Korean Peninsula, prosperity common to the nation and independent reunification.

The north and the south should make steady efforts to mend their relations under any situation and circumstances and sincerely implement the Panmunjom Declaration.

They should independently carve out their destiny and handle their relations from the viewpoint of By Our Nation Itself in the present crucial times.

There is no need for the north and the south in their relations to read other's face and hesitate.

The way for the north and the south to follow is always the road of national independence and unity.
