Mr Speaker, on 11 November we celebrate the end of the war which should have ended all wars. About 200 million people were butchered during the 20th century; and the war continued. We know that there has never been a war between two democracies, perhaps, with the exception of the Anglo-Boer War.
What are we doing to promote democracy worldwide? Will we send a high-level representative delegation to the granting of the Nobel Peace Prize or will we heed to the pressures not to have a representative there? Today, we mentioned the issue of North Korea and the support given to North Korea by the Youth League of the ruling party. There is silence about the DRC and atrocities taking place there. There is also silence on Zimbabwe.
We need to change our foreign policy to include the component of promoting democracy and human rights worldwide as a condition for the development of a new world order in which we all need to take rightful ownership. [Applause.]
