September 1 is the Day of Non-Aligned Movement.
The Non-Aligned Movement was founded at the First Summit Conference of Non-Aligned Countries held on September 1 1961 in Belgrade, the capital of former Yugoslavia, with representatives of 25 countries in attendance.
The Non-Aligned Movement is a powerful anti-war and peace-loving force that emerged as a reflection of the demand of the era of independence.
The foreign ministers’ meeting of non-aligned countries held in New Delhi, the capital of India, in February 1981 declared September 1 1961, when the first summit of non-aligned countries opened, as the Day of the Non-Aligned Movement and decided to commemorate it every year in all non-aligned countries and the United Nations.
The ideal of the Non-Aligned Movement is anti-imperialist independence and its fundamental principle is not to join any bloc.
It is the noble mission the NAM has pursued from the early period to eliminate all forms of domination and subjugation, oppose aggression and intervention, respect sovereignty of the country and nation and achieve sustainable socio-economic development.
The DPRK joined the Non-Aligned Movement on August 25 1975.
President Kim Il Sung and Chairman Kim Jong Il made great efforts to strengthen and develop the movement into a powerful anti-imperialist independent force of the times which correctly embodies its noble ideal.
The NAM has become a powerful anti-imperialist and independent, anti-war and peace-loving force in the present era.
Today the movement is faced with the task of strengthening the anti-imperialist independent and peace-loving movement more resolutely.
A member state of the NAM, the DPRK will as ever resolutely oppose imperialism and fight valiantly for peace, democracy, national independence and social progress in cooperation with all non-aligned countries, and positively contribute to building a peaceful and prosperous world by making every effort to ensure the movement would fulfil its historic mission with credit.
