The Malta-Korea Friendship Association in a statement on December 6 expressed full support for the measures for self-defence taken by the DPRK to cope with the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces' moves to provoke a war.

It went on:

The DPRK has a strong military muscle and is advantageous in every aspect as it is guided by the great Juche idea.

Lyne Sinyodyium, director of the European Society for the Study of the Juche Idea, said in a statement on December 7 that the U.S. and its followers south Korean authorities are wholly to blame for escalating tension on the Korean Peninsula.

The U.S. and the south Korean authorities would be well advised to stop their rash acts, properly understanding the invincible might of the Korean People's Army possessed of powerful nuclear deterrent and modern military equipment and prepared to wipe out any enemy at one blow under the leadership of Supreme Commander Kim Jong Il, he stressed.

Meanwhile, Alejandro Cao de Benos, chairman of the Korean Friendship Association headquartered in Spain, when interviewed by reporters on the situation on the peninsula on November 24, accused south Korea of committing military provocations in waters of the West Sea of Korea despite repeated warnings of the KPA.

If the U.S. and south Korea intrude into the territory of the DPRK, they will not be able to escape powerful retaliatory blows of the KPA, he warned.
