Statement of the AINDF spokesman

 

The Korean people significantly mark the 60th anniversary of the historic Joint Conference of Representatives of Political Parties and Public Organizations in North and South Korea, which was proposed by President Kim Il Sung, the eternal sun of the nation, and held under his guidance.

Marking the day, the south Korean people express the greatest respect to President Kim Il Sung, recollecting his undying exploits performed for the great unity of the nation and the cause of reunification.

The south-north joint conference which was held in Pyongyang in April Juche 37 (1948), was a historic national event to secure the destiny of the country and nation, by realizing the great unity of the entire nation under the banner of reunification and patriotism.

President Kim Il Sung delivered a report, The political situation in North Korea, at the conference. He elucidated that the Korean people should struggle against the separate election in south Korea, the people, who are concerned about the destinies of the country and nation, should unite, irrespective of party affiliation, religion and political view, and all the problems arising in realizing independent and peaceful reunification of the country.

In the political situation in the years immediately after liberation, the representatives of nearly all the political parties and public organizations and even die-hard anti-communist nationalists in south Korea with the exception of a handful of traitors to the nation participated in the broad national conference. They reached a unanimous agreement and launched a nationwide patriotic struggle. This was a brilliant fruition of the President¡¯s policy of independent national reunification and of his idea of great national unity.

The President warmly received prominent figures from south Korea including Kim Gu and Kim Gyu Sik who had been engaged in anti-communism. He took care of their health and life and frankly discussed issues related to reunification with them.

All the representatives from south Korea were fascinated by the lines of independent reunification and greatness of the President, the anti-Japanese legendary hero and peerless patriot. They unanimously expressed their reverence for the President who will lead the Korean people.   

The President convened the consultative meeting in Ssuk islet in Pyongyang to discuss methods and ways for realizing reunification to implement the decisions of the south-north conference.

He clarified the plan to found the Democratic People¡¯s Republic of Korea as a unified central government through north-south general elections and to achieve reunification of the country with united efforts of the Korean nation. The participants fully supported his proposals.         

The April south-north joint conference clearly showed that the pro-reunification force could get united in the struggle for the common cause of the nation, regardless of difference in ideology, ideal, political views and religious belief. It also demonstrated that the independent and peaceful reunification of the country could be realized through south-north harmony and the unity of the entire nation.         

President Kim Il Sung clarified the question of a nation in a fresh light on the basis of the Juche idea in his early years and advanced the original idea of great national unity. He is a great lodestar of reunification who created a noble example of national unity by convening the south-north conference.

President Kim Il Sung¡¯s immortal exploits for great national unity of the nation and its realization is being brilliantly carried forward by leader Kim Jong Il, the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu.  

With firm determination and will to reunify the country, true to instructions of President Kim Il Sung¡¯s for reunification, Kim Jong Il formulated the three principles of national reunification, the ten-point program of the great unity of the whole nation for the reunification of the country and the proposal for founding the Democratic Confederal Republic of Koryo proposed by the President as the Three Charters of Reunification. He gave the Korean nation reunification program and guideline of great national unity by elucidating the five principles of great national unity based on national independence and patriotism.

He opened a new era of independent reunification, peace and prosperity by concerted effort of the nation by adopting the June 15 joint declaration the core of which is ¡°By our nation itself¡± and the October 4 declaration with his excellent leadership and idea.  

Now the Korean people are faced with an urgent issue to achieve great national unity, holding higher the banner of ¡°By our nation itself.¡±

The conservative regime of south Korea is crazy about anti-north Korean confrontation under the manipulation of the US and tries to turn the inter-Korean relations back to confrontation before the June 15 era.

The south Koreans from all social standings should defend and implement the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration with united efforts of the nation, true to lines of independent reunification and patriotism of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and resolutely frustrate maneuvers of the anti-reunification forces at home and abroad for confrontation and war against north Korea                  

Having President Kim Il Sung as the lodestar of national reunification and great national unity, the vanguard fighters of the AINDF, together with the south Korean people, will bring earlier a reunified and prosperous country without fail under the leadership of leader Kim Jong Il who demonstrates national dignity and honor throughout the world with his outstanding Songun politics.
