The Hannover Group for the Study of the Juche Idea in a bulletin carried an article titled "DPRK succeeds in launching satellite". It said:

The Korean people succeeded in launching satellite Kwangmyongsong 3-2, thus carrying out the behests of leader Kim Jong Il on launching a scientific and technological satellite in 2012, the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung.

This is a gift the dear respected Kim Jong Un presented to Kim Jong Il.

Through the satellite launch the DPRK demonstrated that its science and technology reached the world's level. The Korean people will continue advancing toward the building of a thriving nation.

The MS Travel Agency in a bulletin edited an article titled "Successful launch of satellite 'Kwangmyongsong 3-2'" illustrated with a photo of the satellite launch.

The article said that the successful satellite launch was a shining fruition of the Workers' Party of Korea's policy of attaching importance to science and technology and an epochal event in developing the country's science, technology and economy by exercising the legitimate independent right to space use for peaceful purposes.
