DPRK Calls for Developing South-South Cooperation
Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- It is the consistent stand of the DPRK to expand and develop the South-South cooperation. Pak Kil Yon, vice-minister of Foreign Affairs of the DPRK who is heading its delegation, said this when addressing the foreign ministerial meeting of the group of 77 held at the UN Headquarters on Sept. 25 while the 64th UN General Assembly is in session.

He recalled that the DPRK government has paid deep attention to boosting the South-South cooperation and taken an active part in the activities of the non-aligned movement, the group of 77 and the UN system, rendering disinterested support and exerting devoted efforts.

He referred to the fact that the DPRK initiated cooperation projects in various fields including agriculture, bio-science, standardization and measurement for different developing countries in Asia and Africa, and has made governmental efforts to implement them, gaining good experience and successes in this course.

The DPRK government will as always creditably fulfil its responsibility and duty in establishing a new international economic order based on justice, equality and impartiality and further expanding and developing the South-South cooperation based on collective self-reliance, he declared.
