UN General Assembly
2019

The theme of the general debate for this session, “Galvanizing multilateral efforts for poverty eradication, quality education, climate action and inclusion”, reflects the most essential points of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by the States Members of the United Nations by 2030. The Government and the people of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are now actively striving to fulfil the 2030 Agenda and achieve the SDGs through our vigorous struggle to build a powerful socialist country, uphold the banner of self-reliance, and, in 2020, submit the country’s first voluntary national report on the progress it has made in implementing the SDGs to the United Nations. Practical measures should continuously be taken to actively assist developing countries in their sustainable development efforts by enhancing the roles of United Nations and other organizations within its system in economic and social areas. It is vital for all States Members of the United Nations to create a peaceful environment in which to fulfil the 2030 Agenda and achieve the SDGs.
