The undying exploits Kim Jong Il performed for the Korean revolution and the cause of global independence would be always remembered by mankind, Garib Newaz noted, adding:

I am sure that the Workers' Party of Korea, army and people will certainly carry forward and accomplish the revolutionary cause of Songun and the cause of building a thriving country under the leadership of His Excellency Kim Jong Un.

The U.S. unreasonable denial of the DPRK's right to satellite launch is the most vivid manifestation of the hostile policy and open provocation to the DPRK as it is the height of double standards and shameless behavior.

I condemn the U.S. hostile policy for disturbing space science and technology and economic development in the DPRK in violation of the fundamental principles of the UN Charter which calls for respecting the sovereignty of each country and ensuring impartiality and even the universally accepted international law.
