The statement said:

The DPRK has the right to have access to nuclear weapons to defend global peace and safeguard its people.

No country of the world is entitled to apply sanctions and put pressure on the DPRK over its satellite launch for peaceful purposes.

We denounce the U.S. and south Korean authorities for their moves for aggression including the Key Resolve and Foal Eagle joint military exercises.

The DPRK has bolstered up its military muscle in every way by dint of the Songun politics to ensure the peace on the Korean Peninsula and deter any aggressor forces from encroaching upon its territory.

We are strongly opposed to the U.S. imperialists and their stooges' constant moves for a war against the DPRK.

The U.S. and the south Korean puppet regime should stop at once their moves for a war against the DPRK.

We call upon the world peace-loving people to denounce the U.S. and its allies for their moves to invade the DPRK.
