The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) held a disarmament seminar on Thursday on the occasion of “U.N. Disarmament Week (Oct. 24-30).”
The meeting was attended by researchers and scientists from the International Affairs Institute and the Disarmament and Peace Institute of the DPRK.
They discussed a series of issues including how to improve the function and role of the U.N. and the Geneva disarmament conference, and the efficiency and limitations of international treaties and agreements on disarmament.
They believed that the world’s biggest nuclear weapons states should take the lead in materializing nuclear disarmament.
They underlined the need to make the “hostile forces roll back their policies of antagonizing the DPRK” as well as pressurize the U.S. forces to pull back from South Korea and its vicinity, and stop all forms of war exercises there.
It was also important to hold in check U.S. moves for building a missile shield as it might trigger a new arms race, they added.
