Statement of KPA General Staff Spokesman Supported
Pyongyang, February 4 (KCNA) -- Friendship and solidarity organizations of Ecuador and Germany released statements on Jan. 27 and 28 in support of the statement issued by a spokesman for the General Staff of the Korean People's Army.

The Ecuadorian Committee for Supporting Korea's Independent and Peaceful Reunification in its statement said that socialist Korea led by General Secretary Kim Jong Il and the KPA, guardian of the people, would never fall back even a step in the fight against the aggression by the imperialists and their puppets.

The Juche idea followers and friends of the DPRK in Ecuador reaffirm their solidarity with the Korean people's struggle and scathingly reject the Lee Myung Bak group's confrontational moves, it stated.

The German branch of the Korean Friendship Association headquartered in Spain in its statement bitterly denounced the Lee group for its anti-DPRK confrontational racket. If another Korean war breaks out, the pro-U.S. conservative forces and war maniacs of south Korea will be entirely held accountable for it, the statement warned.

We will always stand by the side of the Korean people in the struggle to defend socialism and global peace, it declared.
