Le Hong Anh once again extended warm congratulations to the dear respected Kim Jong Un on his election as first secretary of the WPK at the Fourth Conference of the WPK.

Referring to the fact that the Korean people grandly celebrated the centenary of the birth of President Kim Il Sung, he continued:

We are pleased that the traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries and the two parties provided by President Ho Chi Minh and President Kim Il Sung have favorably developed.

The party, government and people of Vietnam always remember the material and moral support rendered by the party, government and people of the DPRK to the Vietnamese people in their struggle for the independence and reunification of the country and socialist construction in the past.

It is our hope that the exchange and cooperation between the two parties will steadily grow in various fields.

We wish the party and people of the DPRK greater successes in the building of a thriving socialist nation under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Un.

The party, government and people of Vietnam will stand on the side of the Korean people in the future, too.
