I, on behalf of the C.C., the Lao People's Revolutionary Party and the government and people of Laos and on my own behalf, extend warm congratulations and greetings to you and, through you, to the WPK, the DPRK government and all the fraternal Korean people on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the DPRK.

I am greatly satisfied with the fact that diligent, heroic and fraternal Korean people have made great successes in the noble work to build the DPRK into the state with the powerful and modern defense capability and science and technology and improve the people's living standard for the 66 years under the outstanding leadership of the WPK.

I am convinced that the DPRK would grow steadily strong and prosperous despite all difficulties, turns and twists as long as there is your outstanding and tested leadership.

I am pleased that good and traditional relations of friendship and cooperation between the Lao People's Democratic Republic and the DPRK are growing stronger day by day in conformity with the interests of the peoples of the two countries and regional and global peace, stability and cooperation.

Availing myself of this auspicious opportunity, I wish you good health, happiness and fresh greater victory in carrying out the noble cause to defend and build the country and achieve the peaceful reunification of Korea.

Please accept my high regards.
