The Syrian paper Al Nour said this in a commentary on March 27 titled "Korea's nuclear weapons do not pose threat but serve as a might defending peace."

The DPRK successfully put a satellite into orbit with its own efforts and technology in December last year, the commentary said, and went on:

Information data sent from the satellite are essential for developing agriculture and preventing natural disasters.

The U.S. and lots of other countries launch and use satellites.

However, the U.S. and its allies have kicked up a racket, branding the DPRK's satellite launch as a violation of "resolution" of the UN Security Council.

The U.S. instigated the UN Security Council to fabricate a "resolution on sanctions" against the DPRK in contravention of the UN Charter.

The DPRK flatly rejected the "resolution on sanctions" aimed at aggression.

It has taken resolute countermeasures to cope with the U.S. moves to stifle it.

It carried out the third underground nuclear test in February this year.
