The Ecuador-Guaranda Institute for Friendship and Cultural Solidarity with the Korean People said UFG proves that the U.S. imperialists are, indeed, wreckers of peace in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world and war provocateurs. It went on:

The army and people of the DPRK who remain loyal to the Songun leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un, single-mindedly united around him, will shatter the moves of the aggressors to ignite a war and achieve a final victory in the sacred war for national reunification without fail with their tremendous military muscle.

We bitterly denounce the moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet clique to ignite a new war and voice invariable support for the Korean people in their struggle to wipe out the aggressors and reunify the country.

The Bangladesh-Korea Friendship and Solidarity Committee said in its statement:

The situation in the Korean Peninsula has been pushed to the brink of a war and the peace in the peninsula and Northeast Asia seriously threatened due to the reckless military provocations of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities.

The above-said joint military exercises are not a saber-rattling of defensive nature to cope with someone's "threat" but an escalation of adventurous exercises of the U.S. and the south Korean authorities to ignite a nuclear war in the peninsula at any cost.

They should properly face up to the trend of the times.

The Sweden-Korea Friendship Association branded the recent UFG as a blatant violation of the Armistice Agreement.
