A delegation of the Supreme People's Assembly (SPA) of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea attended the Sixth World Conference of Speakers of Parliament held in Geneva, Switzerland from July 29 to 31.

The conference, attended by the president and the secretary general of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, speakers of parliaments and parliamentary delegations from different countries, discussed the issues of strengthening cooperation and multilateralism among the parliaments in achieving global peace and prosperity and realizing international justice.

Pak In Chol, chairman of the SPA of the DPRK, made a speech at the conference.

Denouncing the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the imperialists who plunge the world into social instability and chaos in order to maintain their monopoly and hegemony, he stressed that in order to build a world where peace, justice and prosperity are guaranteed, each country should achieve independent development and, at the same time, international relations respecting the sovereign rights of all countries should be established.

The SPA of the DPRK is dynamically conducting sovereign activities for defending the sovereignty and dignity of the country and achieving the prosperity and happiness of the people by its own efforts, he said, adding that the DPRK people are achieving miraculous successes in the struggle for the comprehensive development of the state, firmly united with patriotism behind respected Comrade Kim Jong Un .

He stressed that the DPRK would fulfill its responsibility for genuine international justice, global peace and stability, and strengthen the relations with friendly parliaments respecting the dignity and national interests of the DPRK.

During the conference, Pak In Chol, chairman of the SPA of the DPRK, separately met and had talks with the president and the secretary general of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, the chairwoman of the Federation Council of Russia, the chairperson of the State Great Hural of Mongolia, the chairperson of the Vietnamese National Assembly and the vice-chairperson of the Lao National Assembly.

The chairwoman of the Russian Federation Council said that she regarded it as a great honor to visit the DPRK in 2018 and meet Comrade Kim Jong Un , President of the State Affairs, and asked to convey her sincerest greetings to him.

The main factor that put the relations between the two countries on the highest level in history as alliance and comradely relations is the fruition of the deep intimacy between the top leaders of Russia and the DPRK, she said, stressing that the bilateral relations proved their worth smashing all kinds of challenges in the past two years since the conclusion of the treaty on comprehensive strategic partnership.

Russia stands unchanged in her support to the DPRK, she said, affirming that the Russian Federation Council and the State Duma would remain faithful to the spirit of the treaty between the two countries.

The chairperson of the State Great Hural of Mongolia asked to convey greetings from Mongolian President Ukhnaa Khurelsukh to respected Comrade Kim Jong Un , hoping that the diligent and patriotic DPRK people making fresh progress in various fields including economic construction would achieve greater successes in the future, too.

At the talks, they expressed full support for the struggle of the DPRK people in building a powerful state and the will to develop the friendly and cooperative relations between parliaments.
