The statement fully supported the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK as a step to bolster its defence capability.

History taught the Korean people a lesson that there is no future for the country and nation when they lack powerful and efficient defence capability, the statement said, and went on:

Since its foundation, the DPRK has resolutely rejected big powers' all forms of interference in its affairs.

There is no reason for the DPRK to be censured as it strives hard to defend its dignity and independence.

The U.S. has shunned any contact with the DPRK in a bid to realize its sinister ambition.

Peace and stability are hard to be achieved on the Korean Peninsula unless the U.S. forces withdraw from south Korea.

The statement urged the U.S. to roll back its hostile policy toward the DPRK.
