DPRK Delegation Head's Speech at FAO Conference
Pyongyang, July 7 (KCNA) -- The head of the DPRK delegation made an address at the 40th Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations on July 4.
Noting that agricultural production of each country has not yet reached a satisfactory level and hunger and malnutrition not reduced in many countries, he said:
The FAO should elaborate and diversify its assistance so that it can efficiently contribute to the efforts of the member states in achieving the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Any act hindering international efforts for sustainable agricultural development and eradication of poverty should not be overlooked.
A peaceful environment is prerequisite to achieving the SDGs.
However, some specific countries attempt to use their power to check the independent aspirations of developing countries. Their power policy poses a serious threat to not only national sovereignty but also people's right to existence and economic development including agriculture.
AThe DPRK government, in the future too, will strengthen the cooperation with FAO and the member states in line with its ideal of foreign policy of independence, peace and friendship.
And it will make positive contribution to the international efforts for the sustainable development of agriculture and eradicating poverty. -0-
