The Russian Association for Friendship and Cultural Cooperation with the DPRK said in its statement:

The DPRK successfully carried out the test-fire of new-type ICBM capable of tipping a super-heavy nuclear warhead, which can strike any part of the U.S. mainland.

This clearly proves the validity and vitality of the line of simultaneously developing the two fronts set forth by the Workers' Party of Korea.

We, friends of the DPRK, demand that the U.S. and its vassal forces stop at once all forms of provocations against the DPRK, a sovereign state.

We are confident that the DPRK people will certainly win the final victory.

The Italy-DPRK Association for Friendship and Solidarity said:

The Hwasong-15 test-fire is part of the measures taken by the DPRK to stop the U.S. persistent nuclear war moves and defend the peace in the Korean peninsula and the rest of the world.

The action of the DPRK taking positive steps to cope with the threat from the U.S. shows that if a country, small in its territory, adheres to independence it can become vociferous in the international arena.

We will wage a positive campaign in the future too to show solidarity with socialist Korea.
