Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Daniel Alvarez Celi, chairman of the Ecuadorian Committee for Supporting Korea's Independent and Peaceful Reunification, released a statement titled "The imperialists' sophism on the DPRK's projected just satellite launch can never be pardoned" on March 25.
Noting that use of outer space is not a privilege only for some countries, the statement stressed that all sovereign states in the world have rights to make a free use of outer space, whether they be big or small.
It further said:
Nevertheless, the U.S., Japan and the south Korean puppets are raising a hue and cry over the quite legitimate satellite launch projected by the DPRK. Such behaviors can never be allowed as they are a wonton violation of the international law on free use of outer space and a smear campaign against the DPRK.
