The Slovenia-DPRK Friendship Association in a statement on June 13 condemned the Lee group for scheming to create an atmosphere of sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK, while threatening it with sustained provocations.

The France-Korea Friendship Association in a statement on June 19 said that the danger of armed conflicts and war is increasing in the Korean Peninsula due to the moves of the U.S. for a war.
