Your Excellency,

On behalf of the Government and people of Zimbabwe, and indeed on my own behalf, I wish to extend to you and through you to the Government and people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, our warm congratulations on the occasion of your 74th Anniversary of the founding of your great Nation.

As we join you in commemorating this auspicious occasion, I note with satisfaction the cordial relations that exist between our two countries. I reaffirm my commitment to work closely with you to further broaden and deepen these relations for the mutual benefit of our two countries.

May I take this opportunity to wish you personal good health, as well as peace and prosperity for the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
