UN General Assembly
2010

order to open the gate for a powerful and prosperous State in 2012, which marks the centennial anniversary of the birth of the great leader, President Kim Il Sung. This year, which falls on the sixtieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea again proposed respectfully to the parties to the Armistice Agreement to begin talks as early as possible with a view to replacing the Armistice Agreement with a peace agreement. If that proposal is realized, the General Assembly will see the implementation of its historic resolution adopted 35 years ago. The conclusion of a peace agreement will represent the most effective confidence-building measure for removing distrust among the parties to the Armistice and serve as a powerful driving force 29 10-55396 guaranteeing the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. There is no change in the position of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in its opposition to nuclear war, the nuclear arms race and nuclear proliferation. The denuclearization of the Korean peninsula is the policy goal maintained
