Five political parties and organizations including the Communist Workers' Party of Belarus, Social Federation "For the Union and Union's Communist Party" of Belarus and Belarus-DPRK National Friend Association Named After Kim Il Sung in a joint statement on Jan. 26 said:

The UNSC adopted an illegal "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK over its satellite launch.

This clearly proved once again that the UNSC was completely turned into a servant of imperialism.

The U.S. ignited a war of aggression against the Korean people in the 1950s of the last century and suffered defeat. Nevertheless, it is still working hard to stifle the DPRK.

Keeping its aggressor forces equipped with nuclear weapons in south Korea, the U.S. is still refusing to conclude a peace treaty with the DPRK.

It is an inviolable right of the DPRK to explore the road of scientific and technological advance including the conquering of space like other sovereign states.

We denounce the UNSC's "resolution" and fully support the DPRK's stand that the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is possible only when the world is completely denuclearized.

The Nigerian Group for the Study of the Juche Philosophy in a statement on Jan. 24 said that all the steps taken by the DPRK are entirely just, adding that the group would extend invariable support and solidarity to the Korean people all out in a sacred struggle for justice.
