KCNA

    Pyongyang, September 17 (KCNA) -- Newspapers here today dedicate articles to the 12th anniversary of the DPRK's entry into the United Nations. Recalling that the plenary session of the 46th UN General Assembly decided on the DPRK's entry into the UN on Sept. 17, 1991, Rodong Sinmun in a signed article says this was a demonstration of the dignity of the DPRK as a sovereign independent state and a striking manifestation of the world people's support and sympathy with the foreign policy of the Republic whose basic idea is independence, peace and friendship. The article continues: The DPRK's entry into the U.N. helped significantly raise its international position and say and opened a good prospect of developing the relations between the DPRK and the UN. This made it possible for the DPRK to actively contribute to developing its friendly and cooperative ties with many countries on the principle of mutual respect for sovereignty, non-interference in internal affairs, equality and mutual benefits, strengthening the activities and role of the UN and defending the world peace and security.
    The DPRK has made principled assertions and demands and conducted energetic activities to protect its sovereignty and interests on the U.N. forum and ensure that international issues are properly settled on the principle of international justice and impartiality and in conformity with the norms governing the international relations.
    Such efforts of the DPRK had a positive impact on the activities of the UN and the fair solution to international issues and enjoyed support and sympathy from many UN member countries.
    The DPRK as a member country will as ever respect the UN Charter, sincerely implement its international commitment and encourage the UN to fulfil its duty and mission.
    Minju Joson in a signed article says that the DPRK will fulfill its duty in line with the UN Charter.
