ABSTRACT

Members of the higher echelons in Pyongyang believed that they had every reason to look back upon the year 1975 with satisfaction, not least because with the help of friendly nations in the UN – North Korea was not a member itself – a resolution had been passed on the Korea question by the General Assembly. As I have said, it bothered them little that South Korea, too, had succeeded in getting a resolution passed on the same subject, in the same forum, and with a better majority. They looked forward with confidence to being able to move their position even further forward during 1976.
