Yun, in the report, remarked that it is an “intolerable tragedy that our fellow compatriots are suffering pain and misfortune from national division by outside forces” and noted “all Koreans should adhere to and thoroughly implement the immortal program for reunification: the three principles of national reunification, the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration.” Yun ” called on all fellow compatriots to turn out in the efforts for accomplishing the national historic cause of building a reunified power, dignified and prosperous, on this land.”
