The statement said:

The Korean people won a great victory in implementing the strategic line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of a nuclear force in a short period.

As a result, they came to have a powerful treasured sword capable of defending their right to existence and reliably guaranteeing peace on the Korean peninsula.

The decisions made at the above-said meeting serve as a signal contribution to ensuring peace in the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world.

The Korean people will speed up the economic construction by dint of science and technology and self-reliance.

The DPRK's pro-active measures created a climate of detente on the Korean peninsula.

We fully support the inter-Korean summit Comrade Kim Jong Un had with President Moon Jae In and the Panmunjom Declaration signed by them.

To replace the Armistice Agreement with a peace pact is an important step for ensuring peace on the Korean peninsula.

We hope that the friendly Korean people will certainly reunify the country.
