The message said:

Dear Comrade,

I, on behalf of our Party Central Committee and on my own behalf, extend wholehearted regards to Comrade Kim Il Sung on the occasion of the Day of the Sun, his 102nd birth anniversary.

Availing ourselves of this opportunity, we are deeply recollecting the immortal feats of Comrade Kim Il Sung who contributed to the Korean revolution and global peace.

I express belief that the friendly relations between our two parties and two countries would further develop on good terms in the future.

I wish Your Excellency good health and great success in your work to achieve the great national unity.

I hope that the desire of the Korean people to reunify the country independently and peacefully would be realized without fail.
