Lecture on situation in Korea held in France

Pyongyang, February 25 (KCNA) -- A lecture on the situation on the Korean Peninsula was held at the senate of France on Feb. 14 under the co-sponsorship of the International Liaison Committee for Reunification and Peace in Korea and the France-Korea Friendship Association.
Present at the lecture were French senator Jean Claude and figures of academic and media circles and people from all walks of life.
Present on invitation were the general representative and members of the general representation in Paris.
Robert Charvin, professor at the University of Nice, in the lecture said that the U.S. completely scrapped the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework and violated the spirit of the UN Charter, the DPRK-U.S. Joint Statement and the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty under the absurd pretext of the "nuclear program" of the DPRK, thus threatening its sovereignty.
Referring to the system in the DPRK, he went on:
Whether the system in the DPRK is to somebody's liking or not is a matter not to be decided on by a third party but by the Korean people.
The world should support Korea's reunification.
The U.S. should be wholly responsible for all the consequences as it has pursued a hostile policy toward the DPRK.
The DPRK proposed to conclude a non-aggression treaty with the U.S. for the settlement of the nuclear issue.
But the U.S. rejected the offer.
In a word, the DPRK has always exerted efforts to defend itself from the U.S. threat but the latter has posed a constant threat to the former.
Its threat, blackmail, blockade, sanctions and discrimination against the DPRK are unreasonable.
The world should respect everything peculiar to the DPRK and develop exchange with it.
