NAM needs unity, cooperation

Date: 27/08/2021 | Source: Pyongyang Times | Read original version at source

An independent and organized political force, the Non-Aligned Movement now exercises considerable influence in the international political arena.

It has developed into a broad-based international movement embracing well over a hundred nations since its foundation with only 25 member states on September 1 1961. This fully demonstrates the validity and vitality of the movement.

The present prevailing international situation urgently requires that NAM remains faithful to its mission and ideal more than ever and further strengthen its influence and role.

Having maintained and expanded its aggressive military blocs, the imperialist and dominationist forces are hell-bent on the infringement of sovereignty of NAM member nations and developing countries, while posing a serious threat to global peace and security.

They also instigate boundary disputes and religious strife to cause various complicated matters as they create distrust, friction and hostility between countries and nations in order to make them fail to achieve unity, leading to such humanitarian disasters as grave political and military crisis, military conflicts, escalated tension and refugee crisis in different countries.

The reality demands NAM member nations conduct a vigorous struggle against the imperialists’ aggression and war moves.

The key to ensuring the NAM thwarts challenges and threats from outside and fulfils its mission and role is to enhance its unity and cooperation between its member nations in every way.

Unity just leads to strength and victory.

If the NAM members make a concerted effort to launch a counterattack against the imperialists’ moves for aggression and interference by achieving a solid unity and cooperation in the struggle for independence and peace, the imperialist aggression and interference will be surely futile and unable to avoid frustration.

The DPRK has constantly been loyal to the fundamental ideal and principles of the movement and performed its mission in the struggle to establish fair international relations and achieve global peace and security since its joining in it as a full member on August 25 1975.

The DPRK has strived to solve complicated multinational concerns in keeping with the demand and interests of the peoples in developing countries while enhancing the purity and influence of the NAM and frustrating all sorts of manoeuvres and interference imposed by the imperialist powers in their pursuit of a greater sphere of influence. During the period, it contributed greatly to changing the balance of forces between progressive and reactionary forces and rendering great services to giving powerful impetus to establishing fair international order and the cause of global independence.

It is the steadfast stand of the DPRK to properly contribute to the strengthening and development of the NAM, according to the ideal of its foreign policy—independence, peace and friendship.

As in the past, the DPRK will work harder in the future to develop the NAM and build a new independent world.
