The general secretary extended warm thanks to supreme leader Kim Jong Un for sending the WPK delegate to the congress of weighty significance in the activities of the Forward Bloc.

He said:

Visiting the DPRK, I witnessed the reality of the DPRK where the Juche idea was embodied. I was deeply impressed by the achievements made by the WPK and the people of the DPRK in building socialism under the wise guidance of President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.

Kim Il Sung was an outstanding thinker and theoretician who founded the Juche idea and a great leader of the world revolution as he instilled confidence of victory and encouragement to progressive mankind.

Kim Jong Il resolutely smashed all moves for aggression and challenges of the imperialists and reactionaries and firmly protected the sovereignty of the country and the socialist cause.

It is my belief that the WPK and people of the DPRK would surely register great successes in the building of a thriving socialist nation and in the struggle to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country under the energetic leadership of Kim Jong Un who is successfully carrying forward the idea and undying exploits of Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.

The All-India Forward Bloc will always extend full support and solidarity to the WPK and people of the DPRK in their just struggle for accomplishing the socialist cause and firmly defending the sovereignty of the country.

The general secretary reiterated his party's will to boost the comradely and friendly relations of cooperation between the two parties.
