UN General Assembly
2025

Israel, which massacred over 60,000 Palestinian civilians in the past two years, is seeking to occupy the whole area of Gaza by force and completely exterminate the Palestinian population. We strongly urge Israel to stop immediately crimes against humanity and withdraw from the Gaza Strip. Likewise, we fully support the establishment of an independent state of Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital and Palestine's full-fledged membership of the UN. Independence, peace and friendship are the invariable external policy ideals of the D.P.R.K. The D.P.R.K. will, as in the past, so in the future, collaborate with all countries and nations that oppose and reject aggression, intervention, domination and subjugation and aspire after independence and justice, irrespective of differences in ideals and systems. The D.P.R.K. will promote multi-faceted exchanges and cooperation with the countries that respect and take friendly approaches towards it. I thank the Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
