Kim Jong Un, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and president of the State Affairs of the DPRK, sent a message in reply to the congratulatory message from Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and president of the People's Republic of China, on September 19.
In the message, the Korean leader expressed heartfelt thanks to the Chinese counterpart for extending warm congratulations and best wishes on the occasion of the 74th birthday of the DPRK.
He said that the constant support and encouragement given by the General Secretary and the Chinese party, government and people are powerfully inspiring the DPRK’s struggle for firmly defending the state's security and the people's well-being and victoriously advancing socialism despite the hostile forces' heinous isolation and blockade moves and the world health crisis.
Being convinced that the traditional and strategic relations between the two parties and the two countries established and consolidated in the struggle for socialism would steadily develop on a new high stage, he wished the Chinese party, government and people under the leadership of the General Secretary would achieve greater success in accomplishing the cause of further strengthening the party, comprehensively building a modern socialist country and reliably guaranteeing the national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
