The message said:

We, on behalf of the WPK and the government and the people of the DPRK, extend warm congratulations and greetings to you and, through you, to the CPC and the government and the people of the PRC on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the PRC.

The founding of the PRC was an event that brought about a fundamental change in the history of China and the life of its people.

Over the past six decades the diligent and courageous Chinese people have built the socialist state with Chinese characteristics on the vast territory of China, valiantly overcoming manifold trials and difficulties.

Today the Chinese people are registering big successes in their efforts to build a harmonious socialist society based on the scientific view on development under the leadership of the CPC with Hu Jintao as general secretary.

The Korean people are rejoiced over these as over their own and wholeheartedly hope that everything would go well in your country in the future, too.

The DPRK-China friendship is a valuable asset common to the peoples of the two countries.

It is the consistent stand of the WPK and the government of the DPRK to set store by this friendship that has stood all the trials of history and steadily consolidate and develop it generation after generation.

Expressing belief that the traditional DPRK-China friendly and cooperative relations would develop on better terms by the joint efforts of the parties, the governments and the peoples of the two countries, we sincerely wish the PRC prosperity and the Chinese people happiness.
