The statement said that the DPRK's successful ICBM test-launch was a historic event reliably guaranteeing peace in the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia and the rest of the world.

It went on:

A "package of gifts" presented by the DPRK to the U.S. on the latter's "Independence Day" foretells a miserable end of the U.S., an arrogant empire of injustice, dropping the curtain on the times of its high-handed and arbitrary practices.

The DPRK's successful test-launch is a signal event brought about by the wise guidance and iron will of respected Supreme Leader Kim Jong Un who advanced the line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of a nuclear force while creditably carrying forward the Songun revolutionary cause of the preceding leaders and has bolstered up the country's nuclear force in every way.

This goes to clearly prove that nothing can deny the DPRK's strategic position as a nuclear power in the East and block the dynamic advance of the DPRK smashing all sorts of sanctions and pressure by the U.S.

July 27 marks the lapse of 64 years since the U.S. kneeled down before the heroic Korean people after igniting the Korean War, boasting of the "strongest" in the world.

July 27 of victory in the war will last forever.
