Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, April 28 (KCNA) -- Now information, divorced from its original mission, is used as a means of ideological and cultural infiltration into other countries and, worse still, as a means of infringement upon sovereignty and interests and some countries do not hesitate to employ latest information technology in their espionage for military invasion of other countries, abusing their "technical advantage" and "monopolistic position" in the field of information. The DPRK delegate said this at the 27th meeting of the UN Information Committee on April 19.
    As regards some matters of principle for developing afresh the information activities of the United Nations in conformity with their mission, he said:
    Firstly, all the countries should strictly observe the principles of respect for sovereignty, non-interference in others' internal affairs, impartiality and objectivity in the information activities.
    Secondly, the technical gap between the rich and poor countries should be overcome in the information field and a fair international information order established.
    Thirdly, the UN information activities should be guided to fulfill their role in the issues of development including the attainment of the goal of development in the new millennium so that they may produce practical results.
    He called for measures for an extensive organization of information activities helpful to the developing countries in sustained development and elimination of poverty and their successful implementation.
