DPRK Delegate on Cooperation with International Organization

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 7 (KCNA) -- The Government of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will make more energetic endeavours to boost its agricultural production and steadily develop the cooperative ties with FAO with a view to contributing to the world food security, said the head of the DPRK delegation addressing the 32nd meeting of FAO. He recalled that over the last two years FAO has made successes by exerting great efforts to increase the international concern for the food security and ensure necessary joint actions. Pointing out that the DPRK government is making positive efforts to speed up the implementation of the action plan of the World Food Summit for the world food security, he continued:
    Our country is focusing its state efforts on effecting a radical turn in the potato farming and doing the two-crops-a-year farming on a large scale, strictly abiding by the principle of the right crop to the right soil and in the proper time and taking the radical improvement in seed selection as a main link of the chain of its efforts.
    The drive to solve the problem of food is now underway in close cooperation with FAO and various other international bodies.
    It is important to make food available for all and create favorable socio-economic conditions for boosting the agricultural productive forces worldwide.
    The drive for solving the problem of food requires closer cooperation with FAO and other relevant international bodies.
    It is our belief that setting 2004 as "International Year of Grain" at the initiative of FAO is of weighty importance in increasing the international concern for the solution of the problem of food and taking practical measures for that purpose.
