Letter to Kim Jong Il from AINDF Central Committee

 

  Leader Kim Jong Il received a letter from the Central Committee of the Anti-Imperialist National Democratic Front on June 15 on the occasion of the fifth anniversary of the historic South-North summit and the publication of the June 15 joint declaration.

  The letter said that Kim Jong Il arranged the south-North summit, the first of its kind in the history of the country¡¯s division, providing the June 15 joint declaration the keynote of which is the idea of ¡°By our nation itself,¡± adding that this was a great event of epochal significance in carving out the destiny of the nation and accomplishing the cause of national reunification.

  Noting that the historic joint declaration was a precious fruition of his unshakable faith and will to hand over a reunified country to all the Koreans at an early date, true to President Kim Il Sung¡¯s last instructions for national reunification, the letter said: The last five years since the publication of the joint declaration have been an emotion-charged period in which the idea of ¡°By our nation itself¡± was cherished in the minds of the Koreans as a lifeline for achieving national reunification and carving out the destiny of the nation and all the Koreans met the vicious challenge of the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad and brought about world-startling events through their concerted efforts, dynamically steering the era of independence and reunification.

  Pointing out that Kim Jong Il has built up matchless armed forces and turned Korea of Juche into a dignified country with powerful nuclear deterrence, the letter stressed that this is an outstanding great exploit as he has upheld and protected the steady process of implementing the June 15 joint declaration by foiling the US imperialists¡¯ moves for a new war to bring a horrible nuclear calamity to the Korean nation.

  The letter continued:

  We will encourage the people from all walks of life to realize the three forms of cooperation for national independence, peace against war and reunification and patriotism under the banner of ¡°By our nation itself,¡± the motto for achieving national reunification and carving out the destiny of the nation. We will thus lead them to turn out as one in the struggle to decisively frustrate the frantic moves of the US imperialists and their stooges to ignite a new war and perpetuate the division of Korea and implement the historic joint declaration so as to make this significant year occupy a brilliant page in the history of the movement for national independence and reunification.
