The Bangladesh Group for the Study of the Songun Policy in a statement on Oct. 13 said:

The south Korean authorities made public the "missile guidance agreement" in a bid to mount a preemptive attack on the DPRK under the patronage of the U.S.

The recent missile move is nothing but a declaration of a preemptive attack on the DPRK and an undisguised provocation to invade the north any time. The U.S. is entirely to blame for the consequences to be entailed by the move.

We extend full support for the invariable stand of the army and people of the DPRK who clarified that they would increase the war deterrent for self-defence in every way under the banner of Songun and maintain its stand against the U.S.

The Ecuador-Guaranda Institute for Friendship and Cultural Solidarity with the Korean People in a statement said:

The U.S. and the south Korean puppet regime should be awakened from their illusion and behave themselves, facing up to the might of the DPRK that has grown tremendous by dint of Songun.

We bitterly denounce the U.S.-south Korea "missile guidance agreement" as a grave provocation threatening the peace and security in the Korean Peninsula, other parts of Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.

We extend full support and solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle to defend the country's dignity and sovereignty and achieve its peaceful reunification true to the Songun revolutionary leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
