The Socialist Party of Benin said:

The third underground nuclear test conducted by the DPRK was entirely just reaction to the illegal "resolution on sanctions" against it cooked up by the UN Security Council.

The DPRK's launch of satellite is a peaceful activity for developing the economy and improving the people's living standard, to all intents and purposes.

However, the U.S. and its followers termed the satellite launch "long-range missile launch" and "grave challenge" to global peace and security.

It is natural for the DPRK to bolster its nuclear deterrence to cope with it as it launched an all-out showdown to defend the sovereignty of the country and nation.

The Socialist Party of Benin warmly hails the successful third underground nuclear test and extends solidarity to the Workers' Party of Korea and the people of the DPRK in their just cause.

The Polish Communist Party said:

When the DPRK launched its satellite in December last year, the Western media undisguisedly accused this and the UN cooked up "a resolution on sanctions" against it.

The DPRK conducted the third underground nuclear test to protect its independent right provided by international law.

The world progressives are extending support to the Korean people in the efforts to protect the sovereignty, dignity, peace and stability of the country and nation by their own strength.
