Referring to the importance of the development of economy, environment and energy at present in carving out a better future, he underscored the need to ensure socio-political stability in order to successfully solve this issue as required by the ideal of humankind.

Recalling that socio-political stability is fully ensured in the DPRK, he noted that the WPK set it as a primary important political task to protect environment and develop clean energy in building an economic power and improving the standard of people's living.

After giving a detailed account of the fact that the DPRK has directed great efforts to environmental protection, he declared that the WPK and the DPRK government would boost cooperation with international organizations and other countries in the efforts to settle the issue of global environmental protection and climate change.

Stable environment in the vicinity of the country presents itself as the most urgent issue at present in the WPK's activities for developing national economy and promoting the people's well-being, he said, adding that outsiders' interference and constant threat of the forces hostile to the DPRK persist on the Korean Peninsula and in its vicinity even in the 21st century after the demise of the Cold War.

He continued:

The ulterior aim sought by south Korea in perpetrating the recent provocations against the DPRK around Yonphyong Island, the sensitive waters along the maritime boundary line in the West Sea of Korea, was to make the public believe that the DPRK recognized the waters off Yonphyong Island as "territorial waters" of south Korea in case the former does not take any physical counter-action. The DPRK, however, has neither recognized them nor will do so in the future, too.

Another aim sought by south Korea was to let the U.S. nuclear carrier George Washington sail into the West Sea of Korea at any cost under the pretext of the above-said incident. In the final analysis, south Korea played the role of a marionette for its American master this time again.

Thanks to the WPK's Songun policy the danger of war is defused and peace ensured on the peninsula and the Korean people's cause of building a thriving nation has been successfully pushed ahead.

In closing, he expressed thanks to political parties of different countries for extending support and encouragement to the WPK and the Korean people in their just cause.
