The statement said:

After the DPRK's satellite launch for peaceful purposes, the U.S. and its followers are imposing harsher sanctions on it.

They are threatening the military attack on it.

The DPRK has never mounted a military attack on other countries and built military bases there.

It is just the U.S. and its followers that are committing a lot of despicable crimes.

The U.S. is the only country which used nuclear weapons in the world.

The world peace-loving people are bitterly condemning the U.S. and south Korean puppet forces for trying to topple Korea's socialist system.

The DPRK, a sovereign state, has the right to develop the means for defending itself from the imperialist invasion.

The All India Anti-Imperialist Forum together with the world progressives extends solidarity to the Korean people's just struggle.
