The Swiss preparatory committee for Gathering 2017-Praise to the Great Persons of Mt Paektu, the Switzerland-Korea Committee and the Swiss Group for the Study of the Juche Idea charged in a joint statement that recently the U.S. secretary of state let loose a spate of remarks that threatened and put pressure on the DPRK. The statement said:

Question is that Obama and Tillerson are not willing to know what made the DPRK have access to nuclear weapons.

The DPRK's nuclear force is the treasured sword of justice and most reliable war-deterrent to defend the socialist country and protect the people.

It has both the will and capability to readily counter any type of war the U.S. wants.

We condemn the nonsense of the U.S. secretary of state and extend solidarity to the DPRK's just counter-action.

The U.S., take its hands off the DPRK!

Gerald Perreira, representative of the Organization for Victory of the Guyanese People, said in a statement that the Korean people have a right to protect the gains they acquired while overcoming all sorts of trials and ordeals.

We express full support to the just struggle of the Korean people for preventing a war and ensuing peace on the Korean peninsula.
