Summary:
The DPRK delegation spoke about DPRK's handling of Covid-19, asserted the superiority of the socialist system with its "high sense of organization and voluntary unity of action, and the social ethos of the helping and caring about each other", spoke on the need for the UN to get out from under the unilateral influence of the US and to create better democratic representation for the developing countries who constitute its majority, discussed the shift to multipolarity, expressed solidarity with Cuba, Syria, and Palestine, and expressed their desire to work together with other countries for peace and justice in the world.
Select quote:
Subjective and objective conditions and environment are still unfavorable, but visible and substantial progress and advances are being made in our country, with a social atmosphere which is full of vim and vigor. This reality of our country substantiates the fact that we can successfully overcome any difficulty and challenge if we rely on the strength of the people to implement the policies that suit the reality on the ground.
Regarding Covid-19:
::: spoiler covid 19 statements
The DPRK government made a correct analysis of the features of the malignant virus, and the circumstances of its outbreak, together with the state of the public health of the country. On this basis, it lost no time in putting forward an anti-epidemic policy in a scientific, transparent, and speed manner, so as to take a strategic initiative in preventing the infectious disease, and proceeded with its implementation, with due care, thus achieving a decisive victory in exterminating the malignant virus in a very short period of 100-odd days. High sense of organization and voluntary unity of action, and the social ethos of the helping and caring about each other, are the superiority of the political system peculiar to our country. This served as a fundamental guarantee for successful implementation of the scientific anti-epidemic policy. In terms of anti-epidemic and public health foundations, our country has been a recognition than other countries (?). But it took the infectious disease under control at the shortest period of time. All in all, this is a brilliant result brought by the DPRK government's correct anti-epidemic policy and the superior socialist system.

Improvement of people's livelihood:
::: spoiler on peoples livelihood
Despite the inevitable difficulties and obstacles caused by the global health crisis and abnormal weather conditions, the DPRK government achieved new successes and progress, by propelling without interruption the efforts for national development and stabilization and improvement of the people's livelihood. Industry, agriculture, and all other sectors of the economy are showing the trend of a steady and stable growth. And the works to supply the people with the modern apartments, free of charge, and provide the children and pupils all across the country with nutritious food, new school uniforms, and stationary materials at the state's expense, are being carried forward as planned. Subjective and objective conditions and environment are still unfavorable, but visible and substantial progress and advances are being made in our country, with a social atmosphere which is full of vim and vigor. This reality of our country substantiates the fact that we can successfully overcome any difficulty and challenge if we rely on the strength of the people to implement the policies that suit the reality on the ground.

US aggression:
::: spoiler on US aggression
Mr. President, the successes achieved by the DPRK in its a national and social development are not something which was by no means made under peaceful and tranquil environment. The security environment of the Korean Peninsula is now caught in a vicious cycle of attentions and confrontation, due to the growing hostility of the United States and its following forces against the DPRK. Recently, it is heading into much more dangerous phase. One of the Trump excuses of the United States and its civil forces to justify their hostile policy and Military threats against the DPRK, is none other than the position of our self-defensive nuclear weapons. A few days ago the U.S president, just at this place, accused us, saying "Despite their efforts to begin serious and sustained diplomacy, the DPRK continues to blatantly violate UN sanctions."
To put it clearly, we have never recognized such resolutions of the United Nations that impose pressure, because we do not abide by the rules made by the United States unilaterally. We will not accept them in the future, too.

regarding shift to multipolarity
::: spoiler multipolarity
Mr. President, in his policy speech given at the seventh session of the 14th Supreme People's Assembly, comrade Kim Jong-un, president of the state affairs of the DPRK, said that present international situation shows that the contradictions between justice and injustice, and between the progressive and the reactionary, especially the power structure surrounding the Korean Peninsula, have become obvious, and the change from a unipolar world advocated by the United States into a multipolar world is being accelerated significantly. Today, the world is faced with a not a few severe crises and challenges, but the most fundamental danger is the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the United States and its followers that are destroying the foundation of international peace and stability, in order to maintain the hegemonic unipolar world.
The rules-based International order advocated by the United States is no less than the U.S-centered International order, permeated with unilateral and hegemonic American values. It is also an imperialistic power structure which gives the precedence to the interest of the United States over the common interests of humankind and international law, and forces other countries' obedience. The United States, while dividing the world into democracy and authoritarianism, is now forcing other countries to choose between the two, and seek block confrontation, and it attempts to maintain world hegemony by expanding the bilateral and multilateral military alliance, a legacy of the Cold War.

The DPRK delegation takes this opportunity to extend the firm support and solidarity to the government and people of Cuba in their struggle to safeguard their sovereignty and the right development of the country in the face of the high-handedness and arbitrariness of the United States, in a move to interfere in its internal Affairs. We also strongly demand the economic and financial embargo on Cuba by the United States be lifted in its entirety, immediately, as required by the relevant resolution to U.N General Assembly.
We also stand in firm support and solidarity with the peoples of the Syrian Arab Republic, Palestine, and other independent countries who are struggling to repel interference of foreign forces and safeguard the independence of sovereignty and territorial Integrity.

policy of cooperation
::: spoiler cooperation
Mr. President, it is the invariable foreign policy stand of the DPRK government to maintain independence, peace, and friendship. The DPRK will broadly cooperate with all countries and nations which oppose and reject aggression and interference, domination, subordination and aspire after independence and justice, transcending differences in an ideology system.
It will also develop multifaceted exchanges and cooperation, even with the capitalistic countries that respect our country on friendly terms. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea sets great store by solving equality and international justice. It will in the future, too, actively join the international community in its efforts to maintain world peace and security and establishing of fair and just international order. It will also fully undertake its responsibility and role in ensuring peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
