DPRK Delegate on His Country's Stand on Elimination of Nukes
Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will as ever make every possible effort to realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and promote the nuclear disarmament and the final elimination of nuclear weapons in the world.
The DPRK's delegate said this in a speech at a plenary meeting of the Geneva Disarmament Conference on March 10.
The issue of providing a guarantee for an unconditional non-use of nuclear weapons against non-nuclear states presents itself as an urgent one in view of the objective of the nuclear disarmament, he noted, and continued:
The high-handed nuclear policy based on double standards reduces disarmament agreements including the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to mere scraps of papers and drives the world into a nuclear arms race at present.
Using nuclear energy for peaceful purposes is not a privilege granted to specified countries only. It is a legitimate right of sovereign states.
All the nuclear weapons states should roll back nuclear policies based on preemptive use of nukes, unconditionally commit themselves not to use nukes first as demanded by the non-nuclear states and respond to the negotiations for working out the international convention on this issue as early as possible.
We will always sincerely fulfill our duty before the international community as a responsible nuclear weapons state
