104. I now consider it necessary to deal with some questions relating to Korea. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has, during its years of popular rule, achieved considerable success in socialist construction. But the solution of the vital national problem of the Korean people the peaceful unification of the country on a democratic basis is being prevented by the United States occupation of South Korea and the illegal activities of the so-called United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea. Therefore a group of socialist and AfroAsian countries will try to achieve the adoption of a decision, with the participation of representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, on such questions as the withdrawal of the United States and all other foreign troops occupying South Korea under the flag of the United Nations, and the dissolution of the so called United Nations Commission for the Unification and Rehabilitation of Korea. A constructive solution of these .questions, as proposed by the above mentioned group of countries, including the Byelorussian SSR, will ensure for the people of Korea the right to a free existence and national reunification without foreign intervention in accordance with the interests of the whole Korean people and the cause of peace in the Far East.
