Scientists of great Korea proved before the world that the DPRK is a highly developed space power.

The DPRK has joined the advanced nations for space development at so rapid speed, the brilliant result of the energetic leadership of Marshal Kim Jong Un.

The successful launch of Kwangmyongsong-4 is the great victory won by the Workers' Party of Korea and the Korean people in their struggle for ushering in a golden age in building a thriving nation and marks a remarkable event for the DPRK in developing science, technology, economy and defense capability.

Nobody can deny the development of using space for the peaceful purposes as it is the legitimate right of a sovereign state recognized by international law.

We extend firm support and solidarity to the Korean people conquering space true to the Workers' Party of Korea's policy of attaching importance to science and technology.
