I extend my warm congratulations to you on your election as president of the People's Republic of China at the first session of the 10th National People's Congress of the PRC.
Your assumption of the important post of state leadership is an expression of the Chinese people's profound trust and respect for you.
I believe that the fraternal Chinese people will achieve fresh successes in their struggle to attain the goal at a higher stage of the socialist modernization drive under the leadership of the CPC.
It is the consistent stand of the WPK and the DPRK Government to set store by the Korean-Chinese friendship that has stood all tests of history and steadily strengthen and develop it.
Availing myself of this opportunity, I would like to express the belief that the bilateral friendship that was forged in blood would grow stronger and develop thanks to the common efforts exerted by both sides and wholeheartedly wish you great success in your responsible work to build socialism with Chinese characteristics and reunify the whole country.
