Ri Su Yong, DPRK foreign minister who is heading the DPRK delegation, said this when addressing the 69th Session of the UN General Assembly on September 27.

The DPRK fully endorses the main theme of the current session, the "Delivering on and Implementing a Transformative Post-2015 Development Agenda", he noted, and went on:

"Post-2015 Development Agenda" should focus on creating favorable environment and conditions for achieving common sustainable socio-economic development for our humankind, while consolidating successes made in implementing the MDGs.

When it comes to the issue of enhancing the central role of the UN, we see the functions and role for peace and security lagging far behind others.

The anachronistic stereotypes and prejudices of the Security Council can find their most extreme expression in the prevailing situation on the Korean peninsula.

The tense situation of the Korean peninsula does not help us. On the contrary, it presents a serious obstacle in our effort for economic development and improved people's living standard.

The Security Council has no authority to pass a resolution on prohibiting peaceful satellite launch by a UN member state in contravention of international law such as the Outer Space Treaty.

The DPRK maintains that all problems pertaining to international relations should be resolved not by high-handedness and arbitrariness but strictly on the principles of sovereign equality enshrined in the UN Charter.

The DPRK is firmly opposed to all attempts and actions to abuse the human rights issues for "regime change" of the specific countries.

The DPRK maintains that the national reunification should be achieved not through confrontation of systems but by federal formula whereby two systems co-exist in a country.

As south Korea relinquished its military prerogatives to the U.S. in its entirety, it does not even know how many weapons of mass destruction of various kinds that can destroy the Korean nation more than hundreds of times are now deployed on its own soil. As such, it should refrain from prattling about the unrealistic and fictitious proposal for national reunification copied from the formula of other countries.
