Building of Nuclear-free World Called for
Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, December 18 (KCNA) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will as ever make every possible effort to make the world free from nuclear weapons. The DPRK delegate said this at the plenary session of the 60th U.N. General Assembly on Dec. 8.
The DPRK delegation holds that what is basic in disarmament should be nuclear disarmament and it should be dismantlement of nuclear weapons, he said, expressing concern over the U.S. and its allies' insisting only on non-proliferation while disregarding nuclear disarmament. For non-proliferation it is necessary to remove its root cause, he said, noting that it is high time for all the nuclear states to take effective steps for complete dismantlement of nuclear weapons.
He called for signing a binding international agreement on non-use of nukes as early as possible so as to remove the danger of the use of nukes by nuclear states, which is concerned by non-nuclear states.
