68th Anniversary of National Peace Committee of Korea Observed
Pyongyang, March 25 (KCNA) -- A meeting took place in Pyongyang on March 24 on the occasion of the 68th anniversary of the National Peace Committee of Korea (NPCK).

Present at the meeting were members of the NPCK Standing Committee, Korean Committee for Solidarity with the World People, Democratic Lawyers Association of Korea, Afro-Asian Solidarity Committee of Korea and the Korean Anti-War Peace Physicians, officials of various social organizations including the Kimilsungist-Kimjongilist Youth League, General Federation of Trade Unions of Korea, Union of Agricultural Workers of Korea and Socialist Women's Union of Korea, citizens and guests of honor.

A report and speeches were made at the meeting.

The reporter and speakers recalled brisk activities the NPCK has conducted over the last years to ease tensions in the Korean Peninsula, achieve the reunification of the country and defend peace and stability in the Northeast Asian region and the rest of the world.

They said that the struggle of the Korean people for achieving the country's reunification and peace faces with grave provocations due to the vicious moves of the hostile forces to isolate and stifle the DPRK.

They stressed that the U.S. and south Korean puppet group are staging the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises, reckless nuclear war drills targeting the DPRK, so as to drive the situation on the peninsula into the worst state.

They called upon the world progressives, international democratic organizations, committees for supporting the reunification of Korea and solidarity organizations valuing independence, justice and peace to strongly reject the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and take active part in the struggle for ensuring peace and security in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of Northeast Asia and the world and achieving the co-prosperity of mankind.

After the meeting, the participants looked round photos showing the activities of the NPCK.
