I would like to extend on behalf of the Syrian people and on my own behalf most heartfelt congratulations to you and the friendly people of your country on the occasion of the 64th anniversary of the foundation of the DPRK and wish you good health and your people greater progress and prosperity.

Availing myself of this opportunity, I affirm that I will boost the friendly and cooperative relations between the Syrian Arab Republic and the DPRK in conformity with the wellbeing of the friendly peoples of the two countries.

Please accept my highest tribute to you.
