    We, in the name of the Workers' Party of Korea, the DPRK government and the Korean people, extend warm felicitations and cordial greetings to you and, through you, to the Communist Party of China and the Chinese government and the fraternal Chinese people on the occasion of the 56th anniversary of the foundation of the PRC. The foundation of the PRC was a precious victory won through a protracted revolutionary struggle and a historic event which enabled the Chinese people in distress to embark upon the road of creating a new life.
    Over the last 56 years the Chinese people have built a rich and prosperous socialist China while firmly defending the sovereignty and dignity of the country and courageously overcoming all difficulties and obstacles under the correct leadership of the CPC.
    Today the Chinese party, government and people are registering great achievements in their efforts to build a comprehensively well-off society and reunify the whole country and the position and role of the PRC are rising on the international arena as the days go by.
    The Korean people are rejoiced as over their own over all these achievements made by the fraternal Chinese people and sincerely wish them greater success in the future. It is the consistent stand of our Party and the DPRK government to set store by the DPRK-China friendship that withstood challenges and tests of history and steadily consolidate and develop it generation after generation.
    Availing ourselves of this opportunity, we wholeheartedly wish you greater success in your responsible work for the prosperity of the PRC and the Chinese people happiness in the belief that the traditional DPRK-China friendship will grow stronger in its vitality thanks to the joint efforts of the two parties, governments and peoples.
