DPRK Delegate Manifests Stand for Permanent Peace

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 20 (KCNA) -- The DPRK will in the future, too, bend all efforts available to remove the threat of foreign forces and ensure a permanent peace on the Korean peninsula, declared the delegate of the DPRK on October 12. He was addressing the first committee of the 59th UN general assembly.
    Holding that the main factor harassing global peace and security and seriously affecting the course of arms cut at the present juncture is the policy of nuclear threat of the nuclear superpower based on strong-arm practices and unilateralism, he continued:
    The practical and grave threat of mass destruction weapons that endangers international peace and security is coming from the nuclear superpower, the world's biggest possessor of nuclear weapons and arms exporter. If the international community really takes a serious view of the non-proliferation of mass destruction weapons and does not want to see the present arms cut conventions scuttled or weakened, it should call in question the nuclear threat policy of the nuclear superpower, the root cause of the weapon proliferation, and take a realistic step to remove it.
    The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula which is now an international focal point is an offspring of the U.S. policy of nuclear threat based on its deep-rooted hostile policy toward the DPRK for over half a century. Had the U. S. not designated the DPRK as a part of the "axis of evil" and a target of preemptive nuclear attack and not rendered the situation strained, the matter of the DPRK's nuclear deterrent would not have cropped up altogether.
    Consistent is the stand of the DPRK to maintain the ultimate goal of denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and resolve the nuclear issue peacefully through dialogue and negotiation, declared the DPRK delegate.
