The message said:

I extend friendly greetings to you and, through you, to your people on the 71st anniversary of Korea's liberation.

I express belief that the relations of friendship and cooperation between the DPRK and Russia forged in the hard struggle against the common enemy would invariably develop in line with the aspiration and desire of the peoples of the two countries.

Taking myself of this opportunity, I wish you success in your work and your people well-being and prosperity.
