PYONGYANG - The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has made everything ready to launch its satellite, an official said on Wednesday.

On Wednesday morning, the DPRK government invited a group of journalists to visit the General Satellite Control and Command Center, located some 20 km northwest of Pyongyang.

Paek Chunghou, general director of the facility, said at a briefing that workers had placed the satellite on the rocket and fuel is being injected into the rocket.

"We're sure that we will be successful," he said through an interpreter.
