朝鲜周一向联合国警告称，长期对手日本正在“企图重整军备”，同时强调国际事务的多极化是“不可抗拒的时代潮流”。朝鲜副外相金善庆在纽约出席第81届联合国大会一般性辩论时指责日本利用当前动荡的国际环境。
North Korea warned the UN on Monday of longtime rival Japan's “attempts at rearmament” while emphasizing that multipolarity in international affairs was an “irresistible trend of the times.”Addressing the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Son-gyong accused Japan of taking advantage of the current volatile international environment.
他表示，日本正以“前所未有”的决心加速其重整军备企图，包括修改和平宪法、放弃“专守防卫政策”、改革军事结构以及扩军备战。金善庆警告称：“此类行为正给整个地区笼罩上战云。”
He said Japan has accelerated its attempts at rearmament with an "unprecedented" commitment, including the revision of its Peace Constitution, the abandonment of its "exclusively defense-oriented policy," the reformation of its military structure and an arms buildup. "Such actions are casting war clouds over the entire region," Kim warned.
他表示，日本打着“反击能力”的旗号，推进开发和拥有可将邻国置于打击范围内的远程攻击武器。
He said that “under the signboard of counterattack capability," Japan has moved ahead with the development and possession of long-range attack weapons that put neighboring countries within striking range.
金善庆谴责美日韩近期的联合军事演习，指责美国“通过各种挑衅性战争演练和军事扩张，同其盟友密谋系统性地修改和更新针对朝鲜的核战争方案”。
Condemning recent joint military exercises by the US, Japan and South Korea, Kim accused the United States of conspiring "with its allies to systematically amend and update the anti-North Korea nuclear war scenarios through "provocative war rehearsals of all hues and military build-up."
他指着朝鲜民主主义人民共和国（朝鲜的正式国名）表示：“美日韩军事同盟明显针对朝鲜，正在美国的推动下演变成一个更具进攻性和侵略性、带有核要素的军事集团。”
"The US-Japan-South Korea military alliance, unmistakably aimed at the DPRK, is being evolved by the United States into a more offensive and aggressive military bloc with a nuclear element," he said, referring to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, North Korea’s official name.
他重申，朝鲜的核国家地位“不容妥协”地已成定局，在任何情况下都不可逆转。
He reiterated that North Korea's nuclear status is "uncompromisingly" fixed and can never be reversed in any circumstances.
他说：“我要重申朝鲜政府的官方立场：朝鲜民主主义人民共和国作为核武器国家的地位，已在物理上和法律上毫不妥协、永久固定，绝无反悔，无论敌对势力如何竭力、大声地齐声否认，动用各种辞藻，这一地位在任何情况下、通过任何手段都永远无法逆转。”
"I would like to reiterate the official position of the DPRK government: the status of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea as a nuclear weapons state that has been uncompromisingly and permanently fixed both physically and legally with absolutely no turning back, can never be reversed in any circumstances or by any means, no matter how hard and loudly the hostile forces may deny in chorus with all sorts of rhetoric," he said.
金正恩指出，多边主义和多极化已成为“基于正义与公平的不可抗拒的时代愿望和趋势。”“单个成员国单方面将其意志强加于世界其他国家、主导国际政治舞台的日子已经一去不复返了。”
Kim observed that multilateralism and multipolarization have emerged as an “irresistible aspiration and trend of the times based on justice and equity.“"Gone are the days when an individual member state unilaterally imposed its will on the rest of the world and dominated the international political arena."
金正恩还间接将美以对伊朗的战争描述为“国家资助的恐怖主义”。他说：“新年伊始，发生了最卑鄙、震惊世界的国家资助恐怖主义行为，随后世界各地又接连爆发其他令人发指的事件和事态。”
Kim also indirectly described the US-Israeli war on Iran as "state-sponsored terrorism.”"The new year started with the most despicable, world startling act of state-sponsored terrorism, followed by worldwide outbreaks of other appalling incidents and events," he said.
金正恩敦促联合国通过促进主权国家间的平等与合作，坚定维护其权威和未来，表示世界机构不应再被“特定势力”用于阴险的政治目的。他说，灾害频发的异常气候导致许多国家和地区接连出现极端高温、干旱、暴雨和洪水，严重威胁人类生存。他补充说，这加上传染病蔓延和油价飙升，加剧了社会经济危机。
Urging the UN to firmly secure its authority and future by promoting equality and cooperation among sovereign states, Kim said the world body should no longer be misused for the sinister political purposes of ''specific forces.'' He said the effects of a disaster-prone abnormal climate have given rise to a succession of extreme high temperatures, droughts, heavy rains and floods in many countries and regions, seriously threatening the survival of mankind. This, coupled with the spread of communicable diseases and hikes in oil prices, worsened the socio-economic crisis, he added.
