Rodong Sinmun Calls for Implementation of Panmunjom Declaration

Pyongyang, August 21 (KCNA) -- It is important to strictly implement the Panmunjom declaration in order to develop the inter-Korean relations in keeping with the desire of the nation and the demand of the times and actively steer the trend of peace, prosperity and independent reunification, says Rodong Sinmun in an article Tuesday. It goes on: The declaration is a great programme for independent reunification as it indicates the most correct way for reconnecting the severed blood vessels of the nation and the divided territory and opening a broad avenue for national reconciliation and unity, peace and reunification. It is, indeed, the most realistic and reasonable reunification programme common to the nation, which entirely conforms with the will and desire of the whole nation and the aspirations of the international community for peace and reunification of the Korean peninsula. The thorough-going and sincere implementation of the declaration leads to the sustained development of north-south relations, peace, the prosperity common to the nation and national reunification. For the full implementation of the declaration, the adoption of war-end declaration is a task that brooks no further delay. Its adoption is of weighty significance in ensuring the peace and security of the Korean peninsula and the world, to say nothing of the confidence-building between the DPRK and the U.S. and the improvement of their relations. There is nothing to read someone's face and hesitate over the implementation of the declaration related to the destiny and interests of the Korean nation. It is very important to value and implement the Panmunjom declaration for the development of the north-south relations and peace, prosperity and reunification of the Korean peninsula. No challenge and obstructions of the anti-reunification forces can keep the Korean people from opening a broad avenue for independent reunification through the implementation of the declaration. -0-
