		Pyongyang, September 21 (KCNA) -- Central executive members of the fifth-term Hanchongryon (South Korean Federation of University Student Councils) recently sent letters to their fellow students who were undauntedly fighting in prisons throughout south Korea, a south Korean newspaper said.
		What is important for the relationship of trust and reconciliation is that the south Korean authorities stop depending on outsiders, join hands with the fellow countrymen in the north and pursue a policy of shaping the destiny of the country and the nation with them, seeking the independence of the nation.
		If Japan honestly repents of its past doings, renounce a hostile policy towards the DPRK and refrain from encouraging the south Korean puppets to the divisive moves and obstructing Korean reunification, the abnormal relations between the DPRK and Japan would be improved and the improved ties would affirmatively affect the issue of Korean reunification.
