Those countries that have launched more satellites than any other countries so far assert that the DPRK's satellite launch poses a problem as it was "the launch by use of ballistic missile technology," the statement noted, adding: It is the height of self-deception and double standards.

We condemn the illegal and unfair "resolution" of the UNSC against the DPRK.

The U.S. should replace the Armistice Agreement with a peace treaty, withdraw its troops under the helmet of the "UN forces" from south Korea and immediately roll back its hostile policy toward the DPRK so that the Korean people may achieve national reunification by their concerted efforts.

The UNSC should not be implicated in the U.S. hostile acts of violating sovereignty of other countries including the DPRK.

The Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people will surely emerge victorious under the wise leadership of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.
