On behalf of the Workers’ Party of Korea, the government of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Korean people, I extend warm greetings to you, Comrade General Secretary and, through you, to the Communist Party of China, the government of the People’s Republic of China and all the Chinese people on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the DPRK and the PRC.
With the official diplomatic relations between the DPRK and the PRC established 75 years ago, the DPRK-China relations of friendship came to enter a new historical stage of development.
Over the past 75 years, the two parties and the two countries have vigorously advanced along the road of socialism, standing all sorts of trials and challenges of history with the firm faith in the validity of their cause.
It confirms with the fundamental interests of the two countries to invariably carry forward and develop the DPRK-China friendship with a long history and good traditions.
Our Party and the government of the Republic will steadily strive to consolidate and develop the friendly and cooperative relations between the DPRK and China as required by the new era.
Shortly ago, the Chinese people celebrated the 75th founding anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.
We hope that the Chinese people will achieve steady and fresh successes in the course of building a modern socialist country on a full scale under the leadership of the Communist Party of China with you as its core.
I wish the People’s Republic of China prosperity and its people happiness. -0-
