Hamid Reza Taraghi, vice-general secretary of the Islamic Coalition Party of Iran, said:

Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un in his historic New Year address put forward the peace-loving and independent proposals for the peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and national reunification.

In order to ensure peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, the U.S., the chieftain of Korea's division, should stop all military exercises and war moves against the DPRK, to begin with.

I hope that the north and the south of Korea will briskly hold dialogue, negotiations and exchanges and make contacts and thus improve the inter-Korean relations in the interests and desire of the Korean nation.

The first secretary of the Gauteng Provincial Committee of the South African Communist Party expressed full support for the realistic proposals for improvement of the inter-Korean relations and reunification of Korea set forth by supreme leader of the Korean people Kim Jong Un in his New Year address.

He went on:

We demand the south Korean authorities stop large-scale war drills targeting fellow countrymen and create an environment for dialogue, negotiations, exchanges and contacts.

It is the steadfast will of Kim Jong Un to briskly hold dialogue, negotiations and exchanges and make contacts between the north and the south to relink the severed ties and blood vessels of the nation and bring about a great turn in inter-Korean relations.

We extend firm solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle to open up a broad avenue to independent reunification, holding aloft the banner of the July 4 joint statement, the historic June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.
