Speech at Asia-Pacific Regional Ministerial Conference on Environment and Development
DPRK Minister of Land and Environment Protection Kim Kyong Jun who is leading the delegation of the ministry on September 7 made a speech at the Asia-Pacific regional ministerial conference on environment and development held in Thailand.
He said that the DPRK government has long paid deep attention to environmental protection and achieved successes.
Environmental protection is not an issue confined to a country and a nation, and unity in action should be made to make the earth a planet without contamination, he noted.
It is regrettable that the US decided to withdraw from the important convention of the whole world, giving priority to its interests and extreme economic calculation, he pointed out.
The US "sanctions resolutions", products of its high-handed and arbitrary practices, are wantonly violating the Korean people's rights to existence and development and have negative influence on international cooperation in the environmental field and a typical proof is that the work being done by the cooperation of the United Nations Environment Programme and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization has not yet been promoted in the DPRK, he said.
He said it is the stand of the DPRK that the environmental protection and international cooperation in this field should not become a victim of politics affected by the interests of individual countries as a global work.
He noted that the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific of the UN and the United Nations Environment Programme should pay due attention to taking necessary measures so that the sanctions against the DPRK have no impact on international cooperation in the environmental field.
He expressed the expectation that the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific of the UN and the United Nations Environment Programme would discharge their responsibility and role in coordinating the growth of green economy suited to the sustainable development goals and the regional cooperation for an uncontaminated planet and providing cooperation to all member states fairly without discrimination.
