DPRK Foreign Minister Attends Fourth Eurasian Women's Forum and First BRICS Women's Forum

Pyongyang, September 22 (KCNA) -- Choe Son Hui, foreign minister of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, attended the Fourth Eurasian Women's Forum and the First BRICS Women's Forum held in Sankt-Peterburg of Russia from Sept. 18 to 20.
Present at the international forums were high-ranking women politicians and representatives of business, academic and social circles of over 120 countries including the DPRK, Russia, Vietnam, Laos, Belarus, Uzbekistan, Serbia, Uganda and Qatar.
Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui made a speech at the meeting of women's dialogue on the theme of "Diplomacy and Geopolitics of 21st Century: Women's Viewpoint on Solving Global Tasks" held at the Fourth Eurasian Women's Forum.
Today geopolitical confrontation and conflict are not ceased in different parts of the world, and global peace and stability are seriously threatened, the foreign minister said, and went on: 
This is ascribable to the high-handed and arbitrary practices of the U.S. and its followers seeking hegemony and self-interest and attempting to make a showdown with camps and separate into groups, running counter to the desire of the international community.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea will never tolerate any hostile acts threatening the sovereignty and dignity of the state and the security of the people but defend peace and security on the Korean peninsula by its just struggle and strong strength.
The foreign minister said that the Ukrainian incident, one of the geopolitical crisis facing the world nowadays, is a direct product of the confrontation policy of the U.S. and West against Russia which have systematically violated the legitimate and reasonable security interests of Russia for the past several decades, expressing invariable support for the just sacred war of the Russian army and people to firmly defend their sovereignty and security against the hegemonic policy of the hostile forces.
She said that the DPRK will as ever develop good-neighborly relations with all countries aspiring after justice and independence under the banner of independence, peace and friendship and fulfill its responsible mission for building an equal multi-polar world and ensuring global peace and security.
Meanwhile, the foreign minister who took part in the strategic meeting on the theme of "BRICS in Future: Cooperative Prospect" held at the First BRICS Women's Forum said that the forum was a significant political gathering in further enhancing the role of progressive women in promoting friendship and cooperation between the nations and states aspiring after independence, peace and justice. She expressed belief that the forum would enjoy positive sympathy and support from all the participants and achieve good results amid the great interest and expectation of the international community rejecting unilateralism and aspiring after multilateralism. -0-
