The Democratic Congo-Korea Friendship and Solidarity Association in a statement on March 10 accused the U.S. and its allies of running amuck to stifle the DPRK, bulwark of socialism.

The statement went on:

We hail the DPRK's successful third underground nuclear test conducted to cope with the moves of the U.S. and its allies to stifle the DPRK over its satellite launch for peaceful purposes.

We vehemently condemn the provocative Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises of the U.S. and south Korean warmongers on behalf of the world peace-loving people.

The U.S. and south Korean authorities had better stop acting recklessly, bearing in mind that the patience of the army and people of the DPRK has a limit.

We urge the U.S. to roll back its anachronistic hostile policy towards the DPRK and withdraw its aggressor troops from south Korea at once.

We call on the world peace-loving people to pool efforts and hold in check the U.S. moves to ignite a war and positively support the Korean people in their just cause.

The Anti-Imperialist Association of Songun Revolution for the Study of the Juche Idea in Moldova in a statement on the same day expressed admiration at the decisive and firm stand of the DPRK.

It expressed the belief that the army and people of the DPRK would surely emerge victorious under the wise leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.
