The general secretary said:

The world progressive peoples are angered by the U.S. which prodded the UN Security Council into fabricating a "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK over its legitimate satellite launch for peaceful purposes.

The DPRK's nuclear test to cope with the U.S. hostile acts and nuclear threat was a just measure taken by a sovereign state for self-defence.

The nuclear test is of great significance in ensuring peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula and in the region and marks a great event as it brought horror to the imperialists while encouraging the progressives.

The New Yugoslav Communist Party reaffirms that it is standing by the Korean people all out to frustrate the hostile acts of the U.S. and its allies and defend the sovereignty of the country and nation.

It believes that the Korean people would surely achieve great successes in the struggle for reunifying the country and building a thriving nation under the wise leadership of the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.
