The grand advance of the DPRK people, being made in an immutable principle of self-sustenance and an offensive way under the leadership of the WPK Central Committee headed by the great Comrade Kim Jong Un , will widely open up a new proud era of national prosperity surpassing the past five years with the Ninth Congress of the WPK as an accelerator, he said, adding:

Our Party will continue to boost the unity and cooperation with the Chinese party in further consolidating and developing the traditional DPRK-China friendship and victoriously advancing the socialist cause, true to the noble intention of the top leaders of the two parties of the DPRK and China.

Li Shulei said that the Ninth Congress of the WPK is a great event for the WPK and the DPRK people and that Comrade Kim Jong Un ’s re-election as General Secretary of the WPK is a manifestation of the Korean party, government and people’s deep trust in him.

He stressed that the Chinese side extends congratulations to the successful Ninth Congress of the WPK and hopes that the Korean party and people will steadily open up a fresh phase in accomplishing the cause of Korean-style socialism by concentrating efforts on strengthening the Party building, developing the economy and improving the people’s living standards under the guidance of General Secretary Kim Jong Un .
