Daniel Dediu, chairman of the Romanian Workers' Association, said that the DPRK's successful nuclear test was another proud victory won in confrontation with the U.S. and a great auspicious event for progressive mankind.

The association will extend full support and encouragement to the Korean people all out in the standoff with the U.S., the chairman noted.

M. Jahangir Khan, chairman of the Bangladesh Group for the Study of the Songun Policy, said that the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK was a resolute step for self-defence to cope with the U.S. hostile acts.

It is quite natural for the DPRK to counter the U.S. escalated nuclear threat with nuclear deterrent, the chairman stressed.

The Nigerian Group for Self-Reliance Studies in a statement on Feb. 14 said:

We support the DPRK's decisive measure against the U.S. hostile acts.

The DPRK's bolstering up of nuclear deterrence makes it possible to consolidate the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the rest of the world.

The Ethiopian Youth Study Group of the Juche Idea in a statement on the same day said that the DPRK's successful nuclear test would contribute to defending peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.
