KCNA Commentary Assails S. Korean Regime's Moves to

Institute "Charter for Unification"

Pyongyang, November 7 (KCNA) -- The south Korean puppet forces are mulling instituting the "charter for unification".

The south Korean chief executive said "she hoped the preparatory committee for unification would become a correct guide for strange journey for unification". She is going busy with a farce to institute the "charter for unification," asserting that it would be put directly under Chongwadae.

The "preparatory committee for unification" is frequently holding seminar, round-table talks and the like related to the institution of the "charter for unification", crying out for passing a motion for it through the "National Assembly".

This is an anti-reunification act of setting the three charters for national reunification, the charters for reunification common to the nation, and the north-south declarations which applied them, against its criminal "charter for unification", and an unpardonable challenge to the aspiration and desire of Koreans for reunification.

The south Korean authorities have been opposed to the nation's movement for reunification, talking about "the doctrine of gaining a great opportunity of unification". But to all people's astonishment, the authorities are blatantly challenging the most just and reasonable charters for reunification in which all Koreans recognized and promised to implement.

The north and the south have the three charters for national reunification the keynote of which is the three principles of national reunification, the ten-point programme of the great unity of the whole nation and the proposal for founding the Democratic Federal Republic of Koryo, which reflect the will and desire common to the nation, and the excellent great programmes for reunification such as the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration which the top leaders of the north and the south promised to implement.

They clarify everything from the present conditions in which the differing ideologies and social systems have existed for a long period, the course of reunification as desired by the whole nation, nomenclature of a reunified state to its full picture, principle of its activities and the authority and duties of the reunified government and regional governments.

That is why not only all Koreans in the north, the south and abroad but the whole world are unanimously recognizing the three charters for national reunification, the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration as the charters for reunification and great programmes for reunification common to the nation.

Nevertheless, the south Korean puppet forces are mulling instituting the "charter for unification", part of their moves to lead the confrontation of the social systems to an extreme phase.

They are seeking to realize their ambition for achieving "unification through absorption" by denying the charters for reunification and instituting the "charter for unification" quite different from them in a bid to achieve their sinister purpose.

This is evidenced by the fact that the puppet forces are trumpeting that they would make sure that the "charter for unification" conforming with their "constitution" and "liberal democracy" are instituted and published and that they would make it "the best guidelines for unification" which would remain unchanged despite regime change. They openly claim that "the charter for unification can be regarded as the final ideal of unification sought by them."

The south Korean chief executive before long talked about "unification through absorption", saying that "unification of Germany served as a cornerstone of new Europe".

The Korean nation will never pardon the moves of the puppet forces to institute the "charter for unification".
