The spirit of national independence and unity indicative of the self-determination of the nation and the strong desire for peace and reunification run through every paragraph of the "September Pyongyang Joint Declaration," the article notes, and goes on:

The declaration also embodies the soul of all Koreans with their hearts burning with a new hope and strong will to achieve reunification.

There were many turns and twists, trials and difficulties on the path towards national reunification, but nothing could ever undermine the strong faith of the Koreans, the people of a strong will for reunification.

The Korean nation ardently hopes for the country's reunification. It is because that the reunification ensures the existence, development, dignity and prosperity of the homogeneous nation with a long history spanning 5000 years.

The declaration reflects the dream of the Koreans which will come true before long.

Seeing the north and the south being pleased together with the auspicious national event and demonstrating the mettle of the nation by their concerted efforts, the Koreans once again and clearly realized that the Korean nation is just like an organism that can survive when reunified and cannot when bisected.

Whether the north-south relations put on a new track of peace, reconciliation and cooperation are decisively developed or not totally hinges on the will and efforts of the north and the south.

All Koreans in the north and the south and abroad should tangibly contribute to the development of the north-south relations and the accomplishment of the cause of independent reunification by holding aloft the "September Pyongyang Joint Declaration" as a banner for national reunification.
