Pyongyang, June 15 (KCNA) -- In an article dedicated to the 18th anniversary of the June 15 joint declaration, Rodong Sinmun on Friday lauds leader Kim Jong Il for laying a milestone for independent reunification.

The June 15 joint declaration is a brilliant fruition of leader Kim Jong Il 's noble patriotic will and steadfast resolution for reunification, the article says, and goes on:

Saying that Korea is like an organism that can survive only when whole, and cannot when chopped in two, he had worked heart and soul to hasten the independent and peaceful reunification of the country by concerted efforts of the entire nation.

He unrolled a grand plan to put a definite end to the history of the north-south confrontation and usher in an era of independent reunification, peace and prosperity in the new century. At last he made a bold patriotic decision of arranging a historic north-south summit in Pyongyang, the first of its kind in the 55 years-long history of national division, and provided the Korean nation with the June 15 joint declaration, a great programme for national reunification.

The declaration garnered an enthusiastic welcome at home and abroad as it fully reflected the unanimous aspiration and desire of the entire Korean nation and the requirements of the times.

With the firm will to develop the north-south relations onto a higher stage in keeping with the demand of the era of independent reunification and the desire of the fellow countrymen and pave a broad avenue to peace and prosperity, he realized another round of north-south summit in October Juche 96 (2007), which culminated in the adoption of the October 4 declaration, a programme for the implementation of the June 15 joint declaration.

After all, he provided the above-said declarations with far-sighted wisdom and energetic leadership, clearly showing the road ahead of the Korean nation in the new century and further developing the reunification movement on a nationwide scale. This is the great feats that will remain forever in the history of the nation.
