Nigerian Figure Praises Successful Test-launch of Hwasong-14

Pyongyang, July 19 (KCNA) -- Damian Ogbonna, national chairman of the People's Progressive Party of Nigeria, co-chairman of the international preparatory committee for the Gathering 2017-Praise to the Great Persons of Mt Paektu and chairman of the African Regional Committee for Friendship and Solidarity with the Korean People, released a statement on July 7 as regards the successful test-launch of the DPRK's ICBM Hwasong-14.

He said:

The great successful test-launch of intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 gives fresh confidence and hope to the progressive people as it serves as brilliant victory of the indomitable faith and will of the Korean people who advanced, upholding the banner of Songun without any vacillation despite arbitrary, brutal and unprecedented provocations of the U.S. and its vassal forces and manifold trials for several decades.

This special event clearly proved that nothing can ever block the road of the Korean people dynamically advancing along the road of independence, Songun and socialism, united close around HE Marshal Kim Jong Un, respected Supreme Leader.

The U.S. should opt for improving the relations with the DPRK by concluding a peace accord, well aware of its strategic position and reality, and the progressive people should become more vocal supporting the principled and peace-loving stand of the Korean people for defending peace and stability on the Korean peninsula and in the region.
