The message said:

We extend warm congratulations and fraternal salute to you, and through you, to the Communist Party and the government and people of Cuba on the occasion.

For the past five decades since the establishment of bilateral diplomatic ties, the DPRK and Cuba have steadily strengthened the bonds of friendship and cooperation, resolutely frustrating all the subversion and sabotage of the U.S. imperialists and their lackeys, under the uplifted banner of independence and socialism against imperialism.

Our people would as ever make positive efforts to boost the friendship and solidarity with the fraternal Cuban people based on the revolutionary principle.

Availing ourselves of this opportunity, we sincerely wish you greater success in your responsible work, reaffirming full support of our Party, government and people for the just cause of the party, government and people of Cuba to defend the sovereignty of the country and the gains of socialism.
