- The “U.S. Institute for Kimilsungian-Kimjongilism Studies” has released an open letter praising the underground nuclear test recently conducted by the DPRK, reports the KCNA. It’s unclear who or what the “U.S. Institute for Kimilsungian-Kimjongilism Studies” is, however, it appears unrelated to the better-known U.S. chapter of the Korean Friendship Association. The letter reads, in part:
Now is the time for the people of the U.S. to pressurize [sic] the government to make a switchover in its policy towards the DPRK, put a definite end to the Korean War and contribute to ensuring peace of the Korean Peninsula.
