Esteemed Comrade General Secretary,
I, on behalf of the Workers' Party of Korea and the government and people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and on my own behalf, extend the warmest congratulations and best wishes to you and, through you, to the Communist Party of China, the government of the People's Republic of China and the fraternal Chinese people on the occasion of the 77th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
Since the founding of new China, the wise and diligent Chinese people have made world-startling progress in the whole realms of the development of the state and built a modern socialist China, weathering through all challenges and trials of history by dint of perseverance and united efforts.
The noteworthy successes, being achieved in recent years in the fresh course of realizing the socialist ideology of the new era with the Chinese characteristics on a full scale in response to the spirit of the 20th Congress of the Party, enhance the country’s overall national power and international position and, at the same time, clearly show that nothing can check the Chinese people's cause of building a powerful country and promoting the national prosperity.
We are sincerely rejoiced over the achievements made in our socialist neighbor, and are convinced that the Chinese people will surely achieve the great prosperity of the Chinese nation under the correct leadership of the Communist Party of China with esteemed Comrade General Secretary Xi Jinping as its core.
I had meaningful meetings with Comrade General Secretary last year and this year and confirmed the stand and will to develop the solid and special relations of friendship between the DPRK and China, which have shared noble ideals and life and death, into the most powerful and strategic relations between socialist states aspiring after the beautiful common future.
Accordingly, both sides splendidly celebrated the 65th anniversary of the conclusion of the DPRK-China Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and Mutual Assistance and are designing together and dynamically promoting the undertakings for deepening exchange and cooperation in all fields in conformity with the interests and aspirations of the peoples of the two countries.
The history of the DPRK-China friendship, which was forged at the cost of blood and has been carried forward with genuine comradely friendship, can never be shaken no matter how the international situation may change, and it is the steadfast will of our Party and government to steadily develop the traditional relations of unity and cooperation with socialism, the common ideal, common banner and common cause, as the core.
Availing myself of this opportunity, I reaffirm the stand to lead the DPRK-China relations with deep and long historical roots to a new strategic level, together with you, Comrade General Secretary, and thus strive to firmly adhere to the common interests of the two countries, defend the regional peace and stability and provide the two peoples with greater wellbeing.
I heartily wish you good health and better success in your noble work for the prosperity of the People's Republic of China. -0-
