Banou Keita, chairman of the Guinea－Korea Friendship Association, said this in a statement on July 1:

Noting he received the news that the DPRK conducted a successful test-fire of surface-to-surface medium long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-10 while creating successes stunning the world day by day, he said:

That the DPRK successfully launched the ballistic rocket which only a few countries have accessed in the world despite the U.S. severe sanctions that have lasted for several decades by dint of its own strength and technology is a proud success which can be achieved by only Juche Korea.

All members of the association extend warm congratulations to the Korean people.

The U.S. should immediately stop the useless moves for isolating and stifling the DPRK which is vigorously advancing along the road of independence to bring the latter to its knees, and withdraw its aggression forces from south Korea.

The south Korean authorities are jealous of the fellow countrymen while talking about "unifying the social systems". They would be well advised to come to their senses, though belatedly, and accept the unanimous will of all the Korean people to accomplish the reunification of the country by their own efforts.
