A spokesman for the DPRK’s Foreign Ministry said that under the current circumstances the proposal is the most realistic one to reunify the country peacefully and fairly, in line with the will, wishes and interests of the whole nation.
October 10^th will mark the 34th anniversary of the proposal, which was made by late DPRK leader Kim Il Sung in a bid to establish a low-level reunified national state allowing the two sides to exercise regional autonomy and different ideologies.
The statement also responded to South Korean President Park Geun Hye's recent DPRK-related remarks at the 69th UN General Assembly, in which she called on the international community to help remove the divide separating the north and the south of the Korean Peninsula. She also asked Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program and turn to reform and opening-up.
