Excerpts from the classic works of great leader
President Kim Il Sung
¡°THE ONLY WAY TO
NATIONAL REUNIFICATION IS THE GREAT UNITY OF THE ENTIRE NATION¡±
(Talk to the Chief of the Koryo Research Institute
of William Carrie University, April 10, 1993)
¡°¡¦
In
order to expedite the reunification of the country through the great unity of
the entire nation, we must hold fast to the principle of national independence.
¡¦
It
is impossible to reunify the country by depending on foreign forces. People in
the United States and some other countries do not want our country to be
reunified. Once the north and the south are reunified, our country will become
a great country with a population of 70 millions. Historically, ours is a sagacious
and civilized nation. Therefore, if they are united, they will be able to build
our country into a world power. That is why people in the United States and
some other countries do not welcome our country to be reunified; they are
afraid of it.
In
order to uphold the principle of national independence, in contrast to being
dependent on foreign forces, south Korea must overcome
flunkeyism, make the US troops withdraw and free itself from the domination of
the United States.

¡°ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS RAISED BY THE GENERAL DIRECTOR OF THE
LATIN-AMERICAN
NEWS AGENCY PRENSA LATINA¡±
(April 13, 1994)
¡°¡¦
Our
nation is homogeneous boasting a 5,000-year-long history. No force can keep our
nation eternally divided. The reunification of the country constitutes the
unanimous desire and vital demand of the whole nation. Only a handful of
traitorous forces, subservient to great powers, oppose such a step. It is
inevitable for the nation, which has been artificially divided by foreign
forces, to be reunified. The reunification forces will prevail unfailingly over
the divisive forces.
We
have already advanced the most reasonable proposal for national reunification.
Our proposal to reunify the country as a confederation based on one nation,
one state, two systems and two governments, is just and realistic in view of
the different ideas and systems existing in the north and south of Korea, as
it makes it possible to achieve independent, peaceful reunification at the
earliest possible date, on a fair basis where neither side will subjugate the
other or be subjugated. This proposal envisages that our country will, after
its reunification, become a neutral state, which is neither the satellite of
another country or a member state of any political and military alliance or
bloc. Consequently, it also accords with the wishes of neighboring countries
and the peace-loving people of the world.
The
whole nation unanimously desires its reunification. As we offer the most
reasonable, realistic way, the historic cause of national reunification will
inevitably be achieved.
