The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un,

The ardent congratulatory message, sent by the Comrade General Secretary on the occasion of the 105th founding anniversary of the Communist Party of China, fully showed the deep and warm feelings of you and the Korean party, government and people to me and the Chinese party, government and people.

On behalf of the Chinese party, government and people, I express heartfelt thanks and extend sincere greetings to you and the Korean party, government and people.

The Communist Party of China and the Workers' Party of Korea are the Marxist ruling parties.

For a long time, the two parties, sharing joy and sorrow with each other and relying on each other and sharing life and death with each other in the vigorous days for achieving the independence of the countries and the liberation of the nations by rallying and leading the two peoples, have made strenuous efforts while dynamically advancing along the broad avenue of socialist construction and joined hands in propelling the steady development of the two parties' and the two countries' cause and instilled powerful motive force into the China-DPRK friendship handed down through generations.

Some time ago, I paid a successful state visit to the DPRK.

Thank you for your enthusiastic and friendly organizational work at a high level on my visit.

Together with the Comrade General Secretary, I am ready to guide the relevant sectors and regions of both sides to the full implementation of the important common understanding achieved among us and lead the China-DPRK relations to a long-term, sound and stable development and thus promote the stable and long-term development of the socialist cause in the two countries and bring better wellbeing to the two countries and peoples and make positive contribution to the regional and global peace, stability, development and prosperity.

I wish you good health, smooth work and fresh and greater success in your work by leading the socialist cause of the DPRK. -0-
