The governments and people of the two countries have maintained the traditional good neighborly relations, he noted, and went on:

It is our sincere hope that the bilateral relations would grow stronger through brisk exchange and cooperation in various fields between the two countries in the future, too.

I highly appreciate successes made by the Korean people in their work for the development of the country and wish progress and prosperity in all fields in the future, too.
