Reported by AVA Diplomatic, the DPRK’s Choe Hui Chol elaborated on the significance of ties between Tehran and Pyongyang stressing further developing relations accordingly.

Speech of Choe Hui Chol, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea:

Dear Venerable Mr. Ebrahim Rahimpour, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran,

Dear Iranian Friends,

First and foremost, I would like to profoundly thank H.E. Ebrahim Rahimpour and our Iranian friends who attended the opening of the Embassy of the DPRK in the I. R. Iran.

I would also like to take this chance and appreciate the Authorities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Municipality of Tehran and Denatarh (Architecture Company) for the successful construction of the new Embassy building.

Opening the new DPRK Embassy in Tehran marks a definitive hallmark in incrementing exchanges and interactions between the people of the two countries and realizing global peace and stability and international justice. This reflects the will of our government that in spite of the leaf-turning in the international context, the strategic ties established by the great DPRK Leaders, Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il, with Iran, which later evolved into joint anti-imperialistic fights, should further grow into other areas as well.

Just as conducted in the past, we shall spare no effort in promoting friendly relations with Iran into various areas such as politics, economy, culture, etc. as well as constantly and perfectly supporting the just idea of the government and people of Iran to defend the achievements of the Islamic Revolution and national developments and independence.

The Embassy of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in the I. R. Iran bases on the principles of independence, peace and friendship, which are foreign policy ideals and shall play its role to the fullest in solidifying friendships and enhancing cooperation between the people of the DPRK and Iran.

Furthermore at the ceremony, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia and Oceania Affairs, Ebrahim Rahimpour welcomed his Korean counterpart and rendered the opening of the new DPRK Embassy as symbolizing the deep relations between the two countries.

Pointing out the land-offering by the government of Iran for the purpose of constructing the new DPRK Embassy, Rahimpour entitled the move as in response to the country’s same offering in the 80s.

Moving on, Iran’s Rahimpour offered his felicitations to the Leader, government and nation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea calling on improving economic ties between the two countries.

The building of the new Embassy was opened later hosting the two countries’ deputy FMS and the DPRK’s Ambassador.
