The All India Indo-Korean Friendship Association said:

Respected HE Kim Jong Un stressed in his New Year Address that the north and the south of Korea should desist from doing anything that might aggravate the situation and they should make concerted efforts to defuse military tension and create a peaceful environment.

We express full support for this.

National reunification is the stand which the DPRK has consistently maintained.

We extend invariable solidarity to the government and people of the DPRK in their struggle for peace and reunification of the Korean Peninsula.

The Youth Group for the Study of Kimilsungism-Kimjongilism in Vienna said the issue of Korea's reunification should be settled strictly in keeping with the will and desire of the Korean nation and that the Korean people would frustrate any challenge and obstructive moves of the separatist forces at home and abroad and surely build a reunified and thriving country.

The Slovenia-Korea Friendship Association and the International Friendship Initiative "Explore DPRK" of Poland said Kim Jong Un in his New Year Address stressed the need to improve the inter-Korean relations and glorify this year as an eventful one noteworthy in the history of the nation.

And they hoped that all the Korean people would register greater successes in the struggle for national reunification.
