The statement described the successful launch of the satellite, developed by the DPRK with its own efforts and technology 100 percent, as a brilliant fruition of General Secretary Kim Jong Il's distinguished Songun policy and as a striking demonstration of the proud might of rapidly-developed Juche-based space science and technology and the inexhaustible strength of the DPRK.

This achievement, made at the emotion-charged time when a new great revolutionary surge is being dynamically effected to open the gate to a great prosperous and powerful nation without fail in 2012 marking the centenary of birth of President Kim Il Sung, gives high national pride and honor to the overseas compatriots, it said.

It declared that all Koreans in China would keep step with the people in the homeland dashing towards a thriving nation with confidence in victory of the Songun revolution.
