DPRK FM takes part in forums held in Russia
She spoke at the dialogic meeting of women under the theme of "Diplomacy and Geopolitics of the 21st Century: Women's Viewpoint on Solution of Worldwide Tasks" held at the Fourth Eurasia Women's Forum.
In the speech she said the current forums sponsored by the Russian government are an important occasion in establishing the relations of genuine cooperation between the countries in the vast Eurasian area and developing the reciprocal and constructive relations in diverse fields, and continued:
Today in many parts of the world geopolitical confrontation and clashes do not cease and the global peace and stability are seriously threatened. The source lies in the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the United States and its followers who seek hegemony and self-interest, attempt confrontation between camps and send "with us or against us" message, going against the desire of the international community.
Now the security environment in the region of the Korean peninsula is still in vicious cycle of aggravated tension and confrontation due to the exclusionist alliance-seeking policy of the United States and some other countries. These days, it is approaching more serious danger line. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will never connive at any hostile acts threatening the sovereignty and dignity of the state and the safety of the people, but defend peace and security in the region of the Korean peninsula with its just struggle and powerful strength.
The Ukrainian incident, one of the geopolitical crises the world faces today, is a direct product of the anti-Russia confrontational policy of the United States and the West, she said and expressed an invariable support to the just and sacred war of the Russian army and people for resolutely defending their sovereignty and security at defiance with the hegemonic policy of the hostile forces.
She stressed that the DPRK will, in the future, too, develop good-neighbour relations with all the countries aspiring after justice and independence under the banner of independence, peace and friendship and discharge its responsible mission to build an equal multipolar world and ensure global peace and security.
Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui attended a strategic meeting under the subject of "BRICS in the Future: Prospect of Cooperation" held at the First BRICS Women's Forum. At the meeting she said the forum is a meaningful political assembly in further enhancing the role of the progressive women for promoting friendship and cooperation between the nations and states aspiring to independence, peace and justice. She expressed the belief that the current forum under way amid great concern and expectation of the international community rejecting unilateralism and aspiring after multilateralism would bring about a good result thanks to the active sympathy and support of all the participants.
