The above-said saber-rattling is an undisguised military provocation to the DPRK, the statement noted, demanding a halt to it.

The Paektusan Czech-Korean Friendship Association and the Czech Group for the Study and Materialization of the Juche Idea also issued a similar joint statement on March 5.

It noted that the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises kicked off by the U.S. imperialists along with their south Korean puppet forces are of militarist nature and threatening the peace of the Korean Peninsula and its vicinity and straining the situation to an extreme pitch of tension.

We always stand by the Korean people and will positively support the measures taken by the DPRK, it noted.

Organizations of Bangladesh and Democratic Congo also released similar statements on March 2 and 3.

The Bangladesh-Korea Friendship and Solidarity Committee said in its statement that the U.S. and south Korean authorities kicked off the north-targeted dangerous Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, again creating extreme tension and the danger of war on the Korean Peninsula.

The Democratic Congo-Korea Friendship and Solidarity Association in its statement bitterly condemned the reckless drills being staged by the U.S. and south Korea and their grave smear campaign as grave actions going against the wishes of the world people for peace and reunification of the peninsula.
