DPRK's Space Development Will Make Progress as Scheduled: Rodong Sinmun

Pyongyang, April 3 (KCNA) -- Days ago, Japan launched an H-2A rocket at the Tanegashima Space Centre in its southern part to put an intelligence gathering satellite on orbit. What matters is that it is a spy satellite to watch the DPRK. It was proved by the fact that Japanese authorities blustered that Japan's recent satellite launch would help bolster the capability for gathering intelligence about the ballistic rocket launch of the DPRK.

Rodong Sinmun Monday says in a commentary in this regard:

Japan deserves world condemnation as it is abusing outer space for achieving its sinister aims though it should be used for peaceful purposes for human welfare and development of civilization and disturbing regional peace and stability.

Nevertheless, the U.S. and its vassal forces keep mum about the recent rocket launch of Japan.

War criminal state Japan has launched more than ten military satellites so far, but the U.S. has never taken issue with it. This is contrary to the much fuss it kicked up whenever the DPRK launched a satellite for peaceful purpose.

This shameless behavior of the U.S. is the height of prejudice and double-standards.

It is the invariable stand of the DPRK that it can never make any slightest compromise in the struggle for defending independence and justice. No matter how desperately the hostile forces may try, the DPRK's activities for space development, which guarantee the dignity of Juche Korea and the eternal prosperity of the nation, will make progress as scheduled.

The world will soon witness what eventful successes the DPRK will achieve in the space development.
