We express firm solidarity to the principled stand of the DPRK which made a positive contribution to global peace and peace and prosperity of the northeast Asia, they said. A speech in the name of the university “Significance of the June 12 DPRK-US Joint Statement and prospects of the DPRK-US relations” was read out at the forum. The US public and media circles paid deep attention to the forum at which they were convinced that the completion of the DPRK nuclear force has played a positive role in securing peace of the Korean Peninsula and the world.
