KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 12 (KCNA) -- It is most urgent to establish a fair world order based on the respect for the right to independent development of each country in order to attain the UN millennium development target and promote its sustained development. The DPRK delegate said this at the meeting of the Second Committee of the 58th Session of the UN General Assembly on October 7.
    He stressed the need to reject such unilateral high-handed practices as sanctions, suffocation and military threat, the most serious challenges to the world economic development and the realization of the well-being of humankind, liquidate poverty in the developing countries at an early date and create conditions and atmosphere needed to promote local socio-economic development.
    He continued:
    To this end, it is important, first of all, to stop disturbing the free economic cooperation and development between developing countries and halt political interference, he said, and went on:
    In order to achieve the sustained development of the world major industrial countries should sincerely implement their commitment to allot 0.7 percent of their gross national product as an official development aid to developing countries and take practical measure to sharply cut or annul heavy burden of debt and positively promote the work of establishing and managing the World Solidarity Fund for the developed countries to assist the socio-economic development of the developing countries materially and financially.
    It is important for the UN to satisfactorily fulfill its role as the center of dialogue and negotiation for international economic development.
    The DPRK government has set a basic goal to step up economic construction and constantly improve the people's living on the principle of actual profit and made every effort to achieve it.
    The DPRK will as ever value the development of multilateral cooperative relations based on the principle of equality and mutual benefit and further develop the relations of support and solidarity with the international community.
