By Our Nation Itself, Essential for Achieving Korea's Reunification: News Analyst

Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- The New Year Address made by Marshal Kim Jong Un is instilling stronger aspiration and desire for national reunification into all the fellow countrymen at home and abroad.

In the address, he underscored the need to reject foreign forces and hold fast to the standpoint of By Our Nation Itself in order to resolve the reunification issue in keeping with the aspiration and desire of the Korean people.

The standpoint of By Our Nation Itself precisely is that towards the principle of national reunification common to the nation.

For the Korean nation, there is a principle of national reunification common to the nation, which was already confirmed by the north and the south with full support from all the fellow countrymen.

The fundamental principle to be maintained and implemented by both of the north and the south is the three principles for national reunification -- independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity -- and the idea of By Our Nation Itself.

The idea of By Our Nation Itself is the essence of the June 15 joint declaration, which serves as the guidelines for the reunification of the Korean nation in the new century, and the October 4 declaration, the implementation program for the joint declaration. It represents the aspiration and requirement of the entire Korean nation for reunification issue and gives the most scientific answers to theoretical and practical matters in accomplishing the cause of reunification.

Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address set forth it as an important task for the reunification of the country to reject foreign forces and hold fast to the standpoint of By Nation Itself, which clarifies the essential way to resolve the issue of the destiny of the nation and reunification issue in keeping with the aspiration and desire of the fellow countrymen.

It belongs to the nation's right to self-determination to solve national issues as desired by the nation.

It is vital for the Korean nation that has suffered the tragedy of national division forced upon it by outsiders to reject the domination and interference by outsiders and keep the standpoint of independence in solving the national issue, the reunification issue.

It is illogical to resolve the reunification issue, the issue belonging to the nation's right to self-determination, by leaving it in the hands of outside forces.

It is an unpardonable act of infringing upon the national sovereignty that the outside forces intervene in the national issue in a bid to reduce the reunification issue to a thing for bargain, as they are seeking their aggressive interests only.

The Korean nation should hold fast to the principle of independent reunification as its mainstay. Herein lies the basic guarantee for defending the dignity of the nation from the outsiders' interference and successfully accomplishing the cause of national reunification in the common interests of the nation.

The principle of independence can never be changed in any case as the north and the south put forward it as the key principle in resolving the reunification issue.

Its great vitality was clearly manifested through the efforts to implement the June 15 joint declaration.

With the idea of By Our Nation Itself, the Korean people fully displayed their steadfast will to achieve the independent national reunification without any interference of outside forces in the June 15 reunification era.

The driving force for national reunification is all the members of the Korean nation in the north, in the south and abroad; only when they remain steadfast in this standpoint can they reunify the country independently in line with the nation's interests and demands.

It is a humiliating treachery of leaving the destiny of the nation in the hands of outside forces to go on a tour around foreign countries touting for "international cooperation" for confrontation with the north in resolving the inter-Korean relations issue, instead of trying to improve the inter-Korean relations by the nation itself.

The north and the south should uphold the principle of independence, which is one of the three principles for national reunification and has been confirmed in the north-south joint declarations, hold fast to the standpoint of By Our Nation Itself, and respect and implement the declarations with sincerity.


Rodong Sinmun Calls for Implementing Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il's Last Instructions for National Reunification

Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Tuesday in an article says that national reunification is the lifetime desire and behests of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il and supreme task of all Koreans.

The article praised them as the eternal sun of the nation and lodestar for national reunification who worked heart and soul to the last moments of their lives to bring Koreans a reunified country.

They laid solid foundations for independent reunification of the country and eternal prosperity of the nation with their outstanding idea and through their energetic leadership, the article notes, and goes on:

These undying feats will shine long in the history of the country.

The Koreans' efforts to carry out their last instructions for national reunification are the most sacred struggle and a patriotic cause which are bound to emerge victorious.

It is the firm determination and will of Marshal Kim Jong Un to build on this land the most powerful country in the world by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation free from any interference by outsiders.

All the Koreans in the north, south and overseas would put into practice the last instructions of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il for national reunification, remaining true to the patriotic idea and leadership of Kim Jong Un.


Korean People Make History of Advance by Leaps and Bounds

Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- Supreme leader Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address called for raising a fierce wind of making a fresh leap forward on all fronts of building a thriving country with confidence in victory.

Upon receiving his New Year Address, the people of the DPRK are fully determined to make greater achievements this year as they brought about epochal successes last year.

The present general onward march requires them to bring about a fresh upsurge in all economic sectors. The march is an extension of historical progress of the Korean revolution under the uplifted banner of constant innovation and continued progress.

The Korean people had made a history of advance by leaps and bounds, creating new speeds of progress in different annals of the revolution.

They built up a socialist industrial nation on this land, which had once been reduced to ashes during the Korean War (1950-1953), by creating the Pyongyang Speed, Vinalon Speed and Chollima Speed after the war.

In the 1970s, they created the new Chollima Speed in order to achieve a rapid growth of national economy, unprecedented in the history of the world industry. And they ushered in a heyday of great socialist construction through the movement for creating the speed of the 1980s.

Under the energetic guidance of the Workers' Party of Korea and leader Kim Jong Il, they raised fierce winds of fresh advance in the revolutionary soldier spirit and the Kanggye spirit during the Arduous March, the forced march.

In the spirits of Songgang Torch and Ranam Torch, they made a breakthrough in revitalizing the national economy. The Thaechon Spirit, Kangson Torch, Huichon Speed and Flames lit by South Hamgyong Province served as a driving power to bring about the heyday of national prosperity.

During the days of creating the "Speed on Masik Pass", especially, they have achieved noteworthy successes in building an economic power and improving the people's standard of living. The construction of monumental edifices in the era of the WPK, including Unha Scientists Street and Munsu Water Park, was a remarkable demonstration of the spirit of the DPRK.

Now all the service personnel and people of the DPRK are full of patriotic enthusiasm to make fresher and faster upsurge by working miracles and creating a new speed of advance. Thanks to their enthusiasm, a thriving socialist country will surely make its appearance on this land.
