Kim Il Sung's lifelong desire
Pyongyang, July 6 (KCNA) -- National reunification was the lifelong
desire of the President Kim Il Sung, says
Rodong Sinmun today in an article.
Reunification was always uppermost in the President's mind and words.
He was preoccupied all the time with the
noble mission to achieve reunification when meeting with overseas
compatriots and foreigners, giving on-the-spot
guidance and discussing state affairs at conferences, the article says, and
goes on:
He met the south side delegate to the inter-Korean high-level political
talks held on May 3, 1972 and laid down the
three principles--independence, peaceful reunification and great national
unity-- which he had brought to maturity from
long back and saw to it that the July 4 joint statement was proclaimed as a
program for reunification common to the
nation.
He set forth the policy of reunifying the country by federal formula
based on the conception of one nation, one
state, two systems and two governments, in accordance with the three
principles of national reunification and
advanced, at the same time, the proposal for founding the Democratic
Federal Republic of Koryo, its embodiment.
In order to pave the way for national reunification by internal forces
of the nation, he personally authored and
published the "10-point program of great national unity for national
reunification and roused the whole nation to a
struggle to realise it.
By putting forward the three-point charter of national reunification
the President provided the nation with a
treasured sword for confidently accomplishing the cause of national
reunification. He breathed his last in his office
after signing an important document on the issue of national reunification,
the last one in his lifetime.
It is the ardent desire of all the fellow countrymen and the supreme
task of our nation to achieve the cause of
national reunification without delay on the firm basis laid by him.
It is the unshakable will and determination of the respected leader Kim
Jong Il to carry to completion the cause of
national reunification started and led by the President in our generation.

are a solid foundation provided by the
President and the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il who is working hard to
carry out the instructions of the President for
reunification.
