The statement said:

The DPRK has a legitimate right to carry out its own nuclear program.

This is the independent right of a sovereign state.

The DPRK's first H-bomb test is commanding absolute support from all of us.

The world progressive people are interested in peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.

The peace and security on the Korean Peninsula are possible only when the DPRK has its own nuclear weapons as long as the U.S. and its followers persist in their moves for aggression.

We hope that the DPRK will bolster up national defence capability to override the imperialists, meet all challenges of the disturbing forces and develop science and technology in order to further increase the nuclear deterrent.
