I, on behalf of our Party Central Committee and on my own behalf, would like to extend our warm congratulations to you on the occasion the auspicious day when you received the title of DPRK Marshal on July 17, 2012.

It is my belief that the fraternal relations between our two parties and countries would develop on better terms in the future.

I wish you good health and greater success in the work for independent and peaceful reunification of the country and great national unity and final victory of the Korean revolution pioneered by the great President Kim Il Sung.
