The Association For the Study of Songun Politics, Juche Idea Study Group of England and the UK Korean Friendship Association today issued the following statement We totally support the statement of the DPRK Foreign Ministry regarding the so-called declaration of the "G8 Summit".

The launch of the DPRK's satellite was entirely peaceful and was opened to the world media so there was no reason for the G8 to be concerned or label it a provocation. Indeed there was no reason whatsoever for the G8 to discuss the satellite launch as many countries in the world have launched satellites into space without it being a matter for discussion by the G8. Indeed many G8 countries have launched satellites. We ask was the launch of the Sputnik by the Soviet Union or the Saturn rocket by the US a "provocation to the international community" ?

The G8 is showing its true face as a reactionary imperialist bloc headed by the US and steeped in double standards and great- power chauvinism

The US and the other big powers and imperialists countries that make up the G8 have absolutely no business or right to interfere in the issue of the DPRK's nuclear deterrence. As we stated earlier it it is hypocrisy for the US and some other countries that posses nuclear weapons and carry out nuclear tests to lecture the DPRK about alleged nuclear tests which anyway have not actually happened. It is the hostile policy of the US imperialists which dates back to the Korean war, and even before that, compels the DPRK to have access a nuclear deterrent . We support the stance of the DPRK to continue to bolster its nuclear deterrent and take self-defensive measures.
