The message said:

I extend heartfelt congratulations to you and all the freedom-loving Korean people on the founding anniversary of the DPRK, a national holiday, on behalf of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party and on my own behalf.

The Korean people freed from the colonial slavery of the Japanese imperialists are dynamically building socialism based on the Juche idea and making eye-opening successes in many fields of national economy and those of science, culture and art under the leadership of the WPK.

On this significant day, I wish you and the heroic people of the DPRK peace, wellbeing and prosperity on the road of advancing socialism.
