I express sincere thanks to you for your warm congratulations and best wishes on the holding of the Seventh Congress of the WPK and my holding of the important post as chairman of the WPK at the Congress.

The true friendly sentiment and militant solidarity you showed to us greatly encourage our service personnel and people in their struggle to carry out the decision of the Seventh Congress of the WPK and hasten the final victory of the cause of the Juche revolution, the cause of the Songun revolution pioneered and led by President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il under the leadership of the WPK.

Availing myself of this opportunity, I reiterate our invariable support and solidarity with the just struggle of the Syrian Arab people to meet all sorts of challenges of the hostile forces and defend the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of the country under the guidance of you and the Baath Arab Socialist Party.

I wish you good health and bigger success in your work.
