Sh. Shabdolov, chairman of the Communist Party of Tajikistan, noted in a statement on January 24:

The NDC of the DPRK urged the south Korean authorities to stop hostile military acts and slandering each other and establish a climate for mending the north-south relations and clarified its stand to take a practical action first.

We sincerely hope that the crucial proposal of the NDC of the DPRK will be implemented to defuse the tension on the Korean peninsula and create a favorable climate for achieving the independent and peaceful reunification of Korea.

The Korean people will certainly reunify the country as long as they are under the tested and seasoned leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un and all service personnel and people are single-mindedly united around him.

M. Jahangir Khan, chairman of the Bangladesh Group for the Study of the Songun Policy, said in his statement issued on January 22:

The south Korean authorities should respond to the crucial proposal of the NDC of the DPRK without delay.

We fully support the above-said proposal for improving the north-south relations and ensuring peace and stability on the peninsula.
