The Arab Socialist Party of Egypt in its solidarity statement fully supported the test-launch, acknowledging it as a just right to self-defence.

The statement said:

The whole world knows about the ego-driven and arbitrary practices of the U.S. imposing sanctions upon other countries by abusing the name of the UNSC. To frustrate such practices is also a task facing the progressive peoples.

The U.S. should be well aware of the fact that if it provokes a war against the DPRK, it will spill over into the whole world.

The Pakistan National Federation of Trade Unions in a statement expressed deep concern over the situation on the Korean peninsula extremely strained by the U.S. which cooked up an anti-DPRK "sanctions resolution" by abusing the name of the UNSC.

The U.S. is going so shameless as to escalate sanctions and pressure upon the DPRK, faulting its access to nukes, despite the constant deployment of aggressor forces in south Korea, the statement said.

The statement expressed full support and solidarity with the Korean people in their just struggle, urging the U.S. to stop its arms buildup on the Korean peninsula.
