The statement noted that it was the just measures taken by the DPRK, a sovereign state, to have recently launched a satellite and conducted a nuclear test as they were for its development of science and technology and protection from the threat of outsiders.

The statement continued:

Nevertheless, some Western countries are claiming that the DPRK violated international law. They are pulling up Pyongyang over its launch of satellite and nuclear test, interfering in its internal affairs.

Expressing positive support to and solidarity with the statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry, the statement held there can be neither true peace nor stability without independence and equality.
