I am honored to extend the highest respect to the great Comrade Kim Jong Il, eternal general secretary of the WPK, on behalf of all the members of the Workers' Party of Mexico and on my own behalf on the occasion of the 54th anniversary of his start of the Songun revolutionary leadership.

It is my belief that the revolutionary career of the great Comrade Kim Jong Il and the immortal exploits he performed for the development of the WPK and the DPRK, the freedom and happiness of the Korean people and the accomplishment of the cause of the popular masses for independence will always be remembered by the world progressives, and that the WPK and the Korean people will triumphantly advance the revolutionary cause of Juche, the revolutionary cause of Songun, by building a thriving socialist nation under your wise guidance.

Availing myself of this opportunity, I would like to sincerely wish you great success in your responsible work for wisely leading the WPK and the Korean people.
