Respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un was present at the banquet.

Invited there were contributors to the test-fire.

Ri Man Gon, Ri Pyong Chol, Kim Rak Gyom, Kim Jong Sik, Jong Sung Il, Jang Chang Ha and Jon Il Ho were on hand.

When Kim Jong Un arrived at the banquet hall together with Ri Sol Ju, the participants in the banquet warmly welcomed him.

Ri Man Gon, vice-chairman of the C.C., WPK, made a congratulatory speech.

He said that the second successful ICBM test-fire only 20 days after its first test-fire was a world-startling event that eloquently proved the speed of development of the Juche-oriented rocket industry making a remarkable leaping forward and inexhaustible potentiality and invincible spirit of heroic Korea in the great era of Kim Jong Un.

The great success in the second test-fire of Hwasong-14 is giving great joy and courage to the service personnel and people of the DPRK as it hit hard the empire of evils, the chieftain of aggression again over its head before the world is relieved of the shock from the first test-fire of Hwasong-14, and has established a new world political structure with socialist Korea as its axis, he noted, adding:

The great success in the second test-fire of intercontinental ballistic rocket Hwasong-14 was another thrilling victory in the history of the nation brought about entirely by the gifted wisdom, strong guts and prominent leadership of the respected Supreme Leader.

The speaker underlined the need to ceaselessly produce new-type ballistic rockets with high mobility and striking power in the sky-high spirit of having brought about a miraculous victory of July 28 through the "March 18 Revolution" and the "July 4 Revolution" under the guidance of the respected Supreme Leader and to make a series of successes in the field of defence scientific research capable of overtaking the world in the air, on seas and under waters.
