DPRK's Successful Test-Fire of Hwasong-10 Hailed by Swiss Organizations

Pyongyang, July 2 (KCNA) -- The Swiss Preparatory Committee for the 2017 Meeting Praising Great Persons of Mt. Paektu, the Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea issued a joint statement on June 23 in congratulation of the DPRK's successful test-fire of surface-to-surface medium long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-10.

The statement said that the DPRK successfully conducted a test-fire of Hwasong-10 under the guidance of Kim Jong Un, chairman of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).

The successful test-fire of Hwasong-10 means the great victory of Songun revolution, it noted

Socialist Korea's defence capabilities have been further bolstered up and its attack capability remarkably enhanced, it pointed out.

Saying that the real foe our nuclear force has to confront is a nuclear war itself, Kim Jong Un stressed the need to steadily bolster up the nuclear attack capability to protect the country and its people from the nuclear threat of the U.S. imperialists, it said, and went on:

The successful test-fire is a strong warning sent to the defiant and war-thirsty U.S. imperialists and their followers.

We extend warm congratulations to the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, the WPK, the DPRK, the Korean People's Army and all the Korean people.
