All the officials of the association and Koreans in China extend warm congratulations and the best wishes to Kim Jong Un in boundless reverence for and loyalty to him in the morning of New Year's Day, the letter says, and goes on:

Juche 107 (2018) was the year of great victory when the DPRK won a series of victories in the centuries-long showdown with the forces hostile to it under Marshal Kim Jong Un's seasoned and experienced guidance and the dignity and the national power of Kim Il Sung's nation and Kim Jong Il's Korea were fully displayed throughout the world.

Now, looking up to the sacred image of the peerlessly great man of Mt Paektu, all the compatriots keenly realize that the respected Marshal is the only man who can realize the long-cherished desire of our nation and that the day when they will demonstrate the dignity and might of the Korean nation on the road to peace and prosperity, holding him in high esteem as their leader, will surely come before long.

With an unwavering faith that the final victory is surely in store for the DPRK thanks to Marshal Kim Jong Un in the New Year, too, we will further consolidate the General Association of Koreans in China into the ranks of patriots that support the respected Marshal only despite manifold stern trials and difficulties.

We will make tangible contributions to the patriotic work for the country's prosperity and always stand in the van of the nation-wide movement for reunification under the unfurled banner of By Our Nation Itself by holding fast to the "September Pyongyang Joint Declaration" as a treasured sword for national reunification.
