DPRK Is Full-fledged Space Power: Iranian Newspaper
Pyongyang, March 6 (KCNA) -- The Iranian newspaper Iran News on Feb. 29 carried an article titled "DPRK is full-fledged space power" illustrated with a photo dealing with the launch of the earth observation satellite Kwangmyongsong-4.

The successful launch of Kwangmyongsong-4 attracted the attention of the world media and stirred up the international community in an instant, the article said, adding:

Many countries have launched satellites, but the satellite launch of the DPRK becomes topic in the world. What is its reason?

Firstly, the satellite launch of the DPRK conducted under the worst condition is the reality hard to understand.

The satellite launch is an independent and legitimate right of a sovereign state.

However, the U.S. and its followers are making desperate efforts to deprive the DPRK of its well-deserved right to satellite launch, bereft of reason.

Under such situation, the DPRK launched the satellite again.

Secondly, the DPRK is developing the space in rapid speed.

The DPRK successfully launched the earth observation satellites in the wake of the two satellite launch tests.

Thirdly, the DPRK is a space power both in name and in reality.

There are a few countries launching satellites and having their own satellites in the world, but few countries are putting satellites on their orbit by use of their own launching ramps and carrier rockets.

But, the DPRK did all entirely relying on its own things, technology and efforts.

The DPRK is the full-fledged space power.
