DPRK Will Strive to Safeguard World Peace and Security: Its Representative to UN

The Permanent Representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the United Nations delivered a statement at the General Debate of the 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly on September 29.
He said that anti-epidemic situation in the DPRK is now under safe and stable control thanks to the far-sighted leadership of the government of the DPRK although COVID-19 is becoming ever more serious as days go by.
Noting that building a peaceful world without war is the consistent goal of the DPRK government, he said that the DPRK has done everything possible to safeguard peace and security on the Korean peninsula and in the region during the past several decades.
He stressed that the DPRK has drawn the conclusion that peace never comes of itself by mere wish of one side and it is not granted by someone else either, adding that genuine peace can only be achieved when one possesses the absolute strength to prevent war itself in the present world, where high-handedness based on strength is rampant.
Saying that the DPRK has suffered considerable losses due to unexpected natural disasters this year, but it is vigorously striving to remove the flood and typhoon damages by its own efforts and stabilize the people’s life in a short period of time, he continued:
It is 75 years now since the UN took its first step.
The main theme of this General Debate; “The future we want, the United Nations we need: reaffirming our collective commitment to multilateralism” reflects the demand of the absolute majority member states of the UN for building a peaceful and prosperous world on the basis of multilateralism.
The future wanted by the humankind is an independent world, free from domination, subordination, aggression and interference, where the sovereignty and equality of all countries and nations are ensured. The United Nations is needed for achieving this purpose.
He made clear the stand of the DPRK to develop good-neighborly and fraternal relations with all countries across the world that respect its sovereignty and are friendly to it, and to make determined efforts to safeguard peace and security of the region and the world at large.
