D - Korea

Summary

Appeal of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the ‘eight-point proposal’, Pyongyang, 13 April 1971 (extract)

Overthrow the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique, the contemptible lackey of the US imperialists and the Japanese militarists and the most wicked traitor to the nation.

All patriotic and democratic forces of South Korea, unite close as one and shatter to pieces the long-term office scheme of the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique.

Overthrow through a powerful mass struggle the Pak Jung Hi military fascist ‘regime’ fanning antagonism and split between the North and South and establish a patriotic, democratic regime aspiring to national unity and peaceful unification.

It is our invariable line to sweep away all the foreign aggressor forces and traitors from South Korea and solve the question of the country's unification by the efforts of the Korean people themselves in a peaceful way, without interference of any outside forces.

We are fully ready to settle the issue of the unification of the country in a peaceful way through North–South negotiation when a genuine power of the people is established or patriotic democratic personages come to power in South Korea after the Pak Jung Hi puppet clique are overthrown.
