The Russian Association for the Study of the Juche Idea in a statement on Mar. 6 said:

Progressive mankind express great concern over the fact that the U.S. imperialists' nuclear-powered super-large carrier task forces with more than 100 A-bombs and strategic bomber B-52H are involved in the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises.

Entirely just are the important measures clarified by a spokesman for the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army (KPA) in its statement in view of this situation.

We are confident of the validity of the socialist cause of Korea of Juche and fully support the statement issued by the spokesman for the KPA Supreme Command.

Resolutely assailing the war maneuvers of the U.S. and its satellite forces, we call on the international community and progressive mankind not to allow all sorts of provocations and acts of aggression against the DPRK.

The France-Korea Friendship Association in its statement on Mar. 7 said that the U.S. and south Korea are, indeed, the primary targets of sanctions to be slapped by the UN Security Council as they are wantonly violating international law and other countries' security.

The Korean Peninsula is exposed to the grave danger of a nuclear war due to the military threats of the U.S. and its followers and "the resolution on sanctions" slapped by them, the statement said, and went on:

The option made by the permanent member states of the UNSC for military threat and "sanctions" in disregard of the peace-loving stand of the DPRK will only escalate the tension in the region and incite military confrontation and conflict.

We re-clarify our invariable stand desirous of the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
