The respected Comrade General Secretary,

I express my heartfelt thanks to you for sending a message of greeting on the occasion of the 75th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

For 75 years since the founding of the new China, the Communist Party of China has united and led the peoples of different nations throughout the country, performing two miracles of achieving rapid economic development and long-term social stability, and the great prosperity of the Chinese nation has entered an irreversible historical process.

The Chinese people will work tirelessly to push forward with the cause of building a powerful country and achieving national prosperity comprehensively through the modernization of the Chinese style, more firmly united behind the Party Central Committee.

I sincerely hope that the fraternal DPRK people will continue to achieve fresh successes by promoting the cause of socialist construction under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea headed by you, Comrade General Secretary.

China and the DPRK are linked by the same mountain and rivers, and the traditional friendship between the two countries is growing stronger with the passage of time.

I am willing to make greater contributions, together with you, Comrade General Secretary, to leading the traditional China-DPRK friendly and cooperative relations to sustainable and stable development, steadily promoting the well-being of the peoples of the two countries and safeguarding regional and global peace, stability, development and prosperity.

I wish you good health and success in your work.

I wish your country prosperity and your people happiness and well-being. -0-
