Hessou Kohovi, chairman of the Benin-Korea Amicable Association "Long Live Kim Jong Il, Supreme Leader", said:

The DPRK's H-bomb test is a measure to firmly defend the sovereignty of the country and the vital right of the nation and ensure peace in the Korean Peninsula and the security in the region.

We support the Korean people's efforts for defending the sovereignty of the country and ensuring peace and security in the Korean Peninsula.

Ibrahim Mantu, chairman of the Credit Committee of the People's Democratic Party of Nigeria and chairman of the Nigeria-Korea Friendship Association, fully supported the DPRK's above-said test as a legitimate right of the sovereign state and a just one which no one can find fault with.

The DPRK proudly joined the advanced nuclear weapons states by having access to H-bomb. This is a national event ensuring eternal future of the country in the present grim reality in which a weak country is subject to the imperialists' aggression and plunder.
