UK KFA Statement on the 11th anniversary ofJune 15 joint declaration

UK KOREAN FRIENDSHIP ASSOCIATION

London June 11th Juche 100 (2011)
The UK Korean Friendship Association applauds the 11th anniversary of the historic north-south declaration of June 15 for the reunification of Korea.

The declaration broke through the ice of over 5 decades of division and heralded a new era in inter Korean co operation and paved the way towards peaceful reunification The declaration fully embodied the concept of "By Our Nation Itself " as well as the three principles of national reunification laid down by the great leader comrade Kim Il Sung.
The June 15 declaration came about due to the fortitude, perseverance and wisdom of the great leader comrade Kim Jong Il who works tirelessly for the reunification of Korea.
The June 15th declaration represented the most realistic way of achieving the reunification of Korea but at the same time rejected the interference of outside forces such as the US in Korea's reunification. It is actually the US that divided Korea and opposes the reunification of Korea.

The declaration achieved inter Korean co operation and exchange . Most importantly it also allowed families affected by the division of Korea to hold happy family reunions and also secured the return of the long-term unconverted prisoners to the the DPRK.

Today the June 15th declaration is being trampled underfoot by fascist Lee Myung Bak who hascome out with rubbish such as "opening" and "German-style reunification" . The Lee regime have faked up cases against the DPRK and dramatically increased tension on the Korean peninsula .
On the occasion of the 11th anniversary of the June 15 Declaration we call for the implementation of the "By Our Nation Itself" principle which means that the US army must withdraw from south Korea. Furhermore we call for Lee Myung Bak to give up the anti DPRK, anti reunification clamour and honestly implement the principles of the June 15th declaration.
