Inter-Korean fishery working contact proposed
Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- A spokesman for the Ministry of
Fisheries of the DPRK in a statement today once again proposed to the south
side an urgent contact between fishery working officials of the north and
the south which they had already agreed to have in Mt. Kumgang area. And he
hoped that the south side would positively respond to this offer in the
cooperative spirit. He noted:
The north side said at the fourth round of the inter-Korean ministerial
talks held in Pyongyang at the end of last year that it would offer part of
its fishing ground in the East Sea of Korea to the south side.
The "2001 meeting for the independent reunification of the Korean
nation" held here on Jan. 10 expressed the expectation that this sincere
offer would be accepted as soon as possible for the benefit of the fishermen
in the south.
This was prompted by the genuine compatriotic and brotherly stand that
there should be no distinction between the north and the south as far as the
work for the prosperity of the nation is concerned and one should not seek
only economic interests if he is to serve the fellow countrymen, the
spokesman said, and went on:
The issue of cooperation between the two sides in fisheries was raised
by the north side in the early 1970s. in the subsequent period we made
positive efforts to this end on several occasions.
The historic Pyongyang summit was held between the north and the south
and the June 15 north-south joint declaration was adopted to ensure the
balanced development of the national economy and promote cooperation and
exchange in economic field. As a result, economic cooperation is now high on
the agenda.
Under this situation we are of the view that cooperation between the
north and the south in fisheries should be realized without delay.
Such cooperation will greatly help rationally use marine resources,
precious wealth of the Korean nation, for the prosperity of the nation, and
substantially improve the standard of the south Korean fishermen's living.
S. Korean religionists urged to turn out in movement for country's
reunification
Pyongyang, January 13 (KCNA) -- Ryu Mi Yong, chairperson of the central
committee of the Korean Chondoist Chongu Party, released a statement
yesterday in support of the proposals made at the 2001 meeting for the

measures reflecting the unanimous desire and wishes of all the compatriots
to put an early end to the history of the national division by the efforts
of the Korean nation and glorify the 21st century as a new century of
independent reunification, she said, adding:
All the members of the party will resolutely turn out in the sacred
cause of carrying out the tasks and proposals set forth at the meeting with
a noble patriotic desire.
She called upon all the Chondoists and religionists in South Korea to be

the nation-wide march to open up a decisive phase of the country's
reunification by the concerted efforts of the nation this year.
