We send warm congratulations to you and, through you, to the WPK, the DPRK government and fraternal Korean people on behalf of the CPC and government and people of China on the 64th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK.

After the founding of the DPRK the Korean people embarked upon the genuine road of building a socialist state and recorded a new page in the Korean history.

They have achieved laudable successes in the cause of building a socialist country of Korean style for over 60 years under the leadership of President Kim Il Sung, General Secretary Kim Jong Il and the WPK.

They are vigorously hastening the building of a thriving nation by exploring ways in a go-ahead manner with redoubled efforts, united close around Comrade Kim Jong Un and the WPK.

We sincerely wish the DPRK steady, fresh and greater success in all domains.

China and the DPRK are friendly neighbors linked with the same mountain and rivers.

The traditional Sino-DPRK friendship provided and cultivated by the leaders of the elder generation of the two countries is growing stronger as the days go by and displaying fresh vitality in the new period and under the new situation.

We, together with the DPRK side, will contribute to bringing greater wellbeing to the peoples of the two countries and achieving lasting stability, prosperity and development of the region by deepening the substantial exchange and cooperation in every field of both countries and promoting the deepening and development of the Sino-DPRK relations, in the spirit of "inheriting the tradition, facing up to the future, building good-neighborly friendship and strengthening cooperation".

We wish the DPRK prosperity and its people happiness.
