Speakers at the rallies praised the successful test as a great victory of the Workers' Party of Korea's line of simultaneously pushing forward the economic construction and the building of nuclear force.

They stressed that any forms of sanctions and blockade would never frighten the Korean people as they have the powerful state nuclear force and the independent economy with solid foundations.

They expressed their will to display to the full the spirit of self-reliance and self-development in the ongoing all-out general offensive to carry out the decision of the Seventh Congress of the WPK.
