Kim Jong Il's recent historic visit to China will be brilliantly recorded in the history of the traditional DPRK-China friendship as it was a great event of weighty significance in boosting the friendship.

We warmly congratulate him on his successful visit to China and extend firm solidarity to the Korean people in their struggle for the victory of the socialist cause.

Victory and glory are always in store for the Korean people building a thriving socialist nation as they are wisely led by him.
