UN General Assembly
2018

The fact that representatives of numerous countries have been unanimous in supporting and welcoming, from this rostrum, the current direction of developments on the Korean peninsula clearly shows that the Government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s strategic choice and its sincere efforts to pursue that choice are fully aligned with the common interests and desires of the international community. The key to consolidating peace and security on the Korean peninsula is to thoroughly implement the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea-United States Joint Statement, adopted in June at the historic bilateral summit held in Singapore. The Joint Statement contains all of the issues of principle regarding eventual solutions to the issues on the Korean peninsula, such as terminating the decades-long hostility between the two countries and establishing new relations between them, thus building a robust peace regime on the Korean peninsula, realizing the complete denuclearization of the peninsula and promoting humanitarian work between the two countries.
