North Korea Declares Nuclear Weapons Essential for Sovereignty at UN General Assembly

UN's Role and International Order

• 💡 The speaker commended the UN Secretary General's call for an enhanced UN role and reform to fit the 21st century, acknowledging the UN's historical successes in peace, security, and decolonization.
• ⚠️ However, the UN's history also records instances where its title was abused by "hegemonic forces" to pressure sovereign states and deprive them of legitimate development rights.
• 🌎 The current international community is described as turbulent and violent, with established international norms disregarded and state sovereignty openly violated, leading to global economic stagnation.

Korean Peninsula Security

• 🚨 The security situation on the Korean Peninsula faces severe challenges due to US-ROK-Japan military exercises and trilateral cooperation, which are seen as offensive and aggressive, incorporating nuclear elements.
• 💥 These war exercises simulate nuclear attacks against the DPRK, mobilizing massive multinational forces and strategic assets, creating extreme tension.
• ✅ The DPRK asserts that its enhanced physical war deterrent has contained the will of enemy states to provoke war and ensured a balance of power, safeguarding peace and security.

DPRK's Unwavering Nuclear Policy

• 🔑 The DPRK has enshrined nuclear weapons in its constitution as a sacred and absolute element that cannot be touched or tampered with, to permanently maintain balance and peace.
• 🚫 Imposing denuclearization on the DPRK is equated to demanding a surrender of sovereignty, abandonment of the right to existence, and a violation of its constitution.
• 📜 The speaker reiterated that the DPRK will never give up its nuclear weapons, which are considered state law, national policy, sovereign power, and a right to existence, a policy reaffirmed by Comrade Kim Jong Un.

National Development and Prosperity

• 🚀 The DPRK is vigorously pursuing overall national prosperity based on peace and security guaranteed by its strength, focusing on a self-reliant national economy.
• 📈 Significant progress is being made towards the five-year plan of national economic development, with targets for industry and agriculture within reach.
• 🏠 Large-scale construction projects, including 50,000 residential houses in Pyongyang annually, rural dwellings, greenhouses, and modern hospitals, aim to provide an affluent and civilized new life for all citizens.

Global Solidarity and Foreign Policy

• 🇵🇸 The DPRK strongly supports the establishment of an independent state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital and its full UN membership.
• 🛑 It urged Israel to immediately stop "crimes against humanity" and withdraw from the Gaza Strip, condemning the alleged massacre of Palestinian civilians.
