Guarantee for Korea’s reunification and prosperity

Peace is a sure guarantee for Korea’s reunification and co-prosperity of its nation. For the Korean nation to struggle for peace at present is a just patriotic struggle to defend the land for its existence and achieve the reunification of the country and prosperity common to the nation.

The reunification of Korea is a matter to reunite the Korean nation artificially divided by the outside forces and, accordingly, national reconciliation should be achieved before anything else.

Peace, the most universal idea common to humankind, is a prerequisite for the national unity and reunification in Korea divided into two.

If a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula, its disasters will be inflicted mainly upon the Korean nation.

There will be neither reunification nor prosperity without nation and territory.

The history and reality have already proved that the reunification of the country and the co-prosperity of the nation can not be guaranteed without peace.

The US has kept its aggression forces in south Korea and staged war exercises against north Korea almost everyday, destabilizing the situation of the Korean Peninsula and posing a constant danger of war.

The reality in the June 15 era of reunification, the first of its kind in the history of the Korean nation’s struggle for reunification, more clearly shows that the reunification of the country and the prosperity common to the Korean nation can not be realized unless peace is achieved.

The June 16 joint declaration adopted at the historic Pyongyang summit presupposes peace as it is aimed at achieving the independent reunification and common prosperity of the Korean nation through reconciliation and cooperation. It has been clearly evidenced by the process of implementing the joint declaration. The foreign forces and the south Korean bellicose forces servile to them have been hell-bent on the moves to provoke a new war against north Korea, going against the aspiration of the Korean nation and the trend of the times, and thus put a brake on the development of inter-Korean relations and laid artificial obstacles to the reunification movement.

The stand and line of north Korea for peace and peaceful reunification are very just and patriotic.

Holding high the banner of peace is just the way for glorifying the June 15 era of reunification and achieving the reunification and prosperity.

Peace should be achieved through struggle.

The Korean nation should hasten independent reunification and national prosperity with patriotic will and firm determination by intensifying the struggle for defending peace.
