In June 2000, the first north-south summit meeting took place and the June 15 joint declaration calling for reunifying the country by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation was adopted in Pyongyang, which led to an opening of a new era of independent reunification, an era of By Our Nation Itself, on the Korean peninsula.

H.E. Kim Jong Il provided the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration and the October 4 declaration to bring about a new era of independent reunification. It is his exploit to be specially recorded in the history of the Korean nation.

H.E. Kim Jong Il, a peerless patriot, always lives amid boundless praise of the Korean people and progressive mankind as he defended the destiny of the country and the nation with his unique Songun politics, and brought about a turning point in national reunification.

Today the Korean people are waging a dynamic struggle for achieving the national reunification, the lifetime desire of the preceding leaders, without fail under the wise leadership of H.E. Kim Jong Un, another distinguished great man.
