I wish to state the position of the delegation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on draft resolution A/54/L.21/Rev.1 on the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
As one can see, in the case of secret underground nuclear facilities, the United States is fabricating all …
The statement I made earlier in exercise of my right of reply to South Korea was a deserved condemnation based on the actual reality. In fact, the South Korean authorities have been hell-bent on introducing a large number of nuclear weapons, enough to exterminate the whole nation, blindly following …
My delegation wishes to exercise its right of reply with regard to some false remarks that have been made about the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula, which we strongly believe should be treated in an impartial way. The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula remains a political and military matte…
Since the Security Council is facing ever-increasing new challenges and the current session is the last one of the twentieth century, we believe it would be most appropriate for the deliberation of the agenda item now before us to be seized as an opportunity to review comprehensively and in the ligh…
At the outset, please allow me to express, on behalf of the delegation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, our pleasure on congratulating you, Sir, on your election to the presidency of the General Assembly at its fifty-fourth session.

My delegation wishes to clarify its position on agenda item 71 (d), entitled “Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-personnel Mines and on Their Destruction”. We fully support the humanitarian purposes and the nature of that Convention. However, in th…
The most serious issue now facing the United Nations is the reform of the Security Council. A number of meetings of the Open-ended Working Group on the Question of Equitable Representation on and Increase in the Membership of the Security Council and Other Matters Related to the Security Council hav…
It is quite funny and ridiculous that traitors are teaching about patriotism. The South Koreans are really traitors who brought in nuclear weapons and are begging for a foreign nuclear umbrella. This means that they intend to invite a foreign nuclear attack on their own compatriots. They are also pu…
Several countries have referred to the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula, urging my country to fully comply with the safeguards agreement with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). I do not think, however, that there is any need to respond to them, as I clearly stated the position of my…
The delegation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea finds it regrettable that the General Assembly is once again to vote on the same draft resolution, which is of no use at all for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula.
I shall now reiterate my delegation’s position on…
First of all, I should like to say that my delegation takes note of the report of the Security Council submitted to the General Assembly.
In ensuring international peace and security, in conformity with the purposes and principles of the United Nations Charter, the responsibility of the Security Co…
The delegation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is of the view that the continued blockade by the United States against the people of Cuba over the past 30 years is a violation of the agreed principles of respect for sovereign equality and non-interference — the very purposes and princip…
Before we proceed to the voting, my delegation wishes to ask the Secretariat to make a clarification.
The report of the Secretary-General (A/53/320) contains the replies received from Governments as of 13 August 1998. My Government’s reply to the Secretary- General in support of resolution 52/10 wa…
Allow me first of all, on behalf of the delegation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, to congratulate Mr. Didier Opertti, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Uruguay, on his election to the presidency of the General Assembly at its current session. We believe that his rich experience and dipl…
The South Korean chieftain in authority has been loudly advertising his “sunshine policy” of dialogue, reconciliation and exchange with the North, as if he were about to bring great changes to North-South relations since he took power in February this year. However, we are deeply disappointed with t…
I wish to make a statement in exercise of the right of reply in connection with the statement made by the Japanese Prime Minister with regard to our satellite launching.
The Japanese authorities are now pushing the situation in the North-East Asian region to the extreme in the wake of our satellite…
The reform of the United Nations has today become a crucial issue related to the destiny of the Organization. The whole process of deliberations on United Nations reform during the last four years clearly shows that the United Nations should be restructured in conformity with the demand of the prese…
I regret that I have to take the floor once again. The South Korean representative has just made a somewhat lengthy statement with regard to the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula. As I stated earlier, my delegation does not see any credibility, gravity or value in his statement. The more the Sou…
The delegation of the Democratic People’s
My delegation was surprised to see the United States, a signatory of the Agreed Framework, behaving as if it has no responsibility for the nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula. The nuclear issue on the Korean peninsula originated from the nuclear policy of…
My delegation takes it as a solemn duty to state, once again, the unambiguous position of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on the draft resolution, since this session, like previous ones, is about to adopt this draft resolution containing stereotyped paragraphs with regard to the nuclear is…
