The Korean people longing for peace should achieve reunification of the Korean Peninsula through their own efforts, a leading newspaper of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said on the eve of an inter-Korea summit slated to open here Tuesday.
As long as the people of the north and south of the peninsula are united and coordinate their steps, they could overcome difficulties and achieve reunification independently, an article carried by the official Rodong Sinmun newspaper said on Monday.
The Korean people have been living "in the danger of war" and suffered from "the disaster of war" in the 1950s, and safeguarding peace is the firm resolve of the Korean people, an earlier article in the newspaper said.
The official Minju Jonson newspaper said late last month that since the signing of North-South Joint Declaration at the first inter-Korea summit in 2000, separated families had been reunited, cross-border railways and roads linked and exchanges and cooperation between the two sides in a variety of fields expanded.
All this shows the declaration is the right path for achieving peaceful reunification and unity of the Korean people, it said.
South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun is scheduled to travel to Pyongyang to meet DPRK leaders on Oct. 2-4.
The DPRK and South Korea are still at war technically as the 1950-53 Korean War ended by a truce, not a peace treaty.
