Respected Comrade General Secretary,
I express my heartfelt thanks to you for having sent warm congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the 74 th birthday of the DPRK.
The constant support and encouragement by Comrade General Secretary and the Chinese party, government and people are greatly inspiring our struggle for firmly defending the state’s security and the people’s well-being and victoriously advancing socialism, despite the hostile forces’ wicked moves of isolation and blockade and amid the global health crisis.
I am convinced that the traditional and strategic relations between the two Parties and the two countries, established and consolidated in the struggle for socialism, will steadily develop onto a new higher stage.
I wish the Chinese party, government and people greater successes in accomplishing the cause for further strengthening the Party, comprehensively building a modern socialist country and reliably guaranteeing the sovereignty of the state and the territorial integrity under the leadership of Comrade General Secretary.
