Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, October 10 (KCNA) -- Premier of the DPRK Cabinet Pak Pong Ju in an address at the ceremony of commissioning the Taean Friendship Glass Factory, symbol of the DPRK-China friendship, on Sunday expressed deep thanks to the Chinese party with Hu Jintao as general secretary and government on behalf of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government for providing a modern glass factory free to the DPRK. The ties of kinship between the DPRK and China established in the crucible of the anti-Japanese revolutionary struggle are not mere relations between the states but the most genuine and comradely relations of friendship with which they help and support each other whenever they are difficult, he said, and went on:
    The firm solidarity and economic assistance extended by the Chinese party and government in the past encouraged the Korean people in their struggle to defend socialism and build a great prosperous powerful nation.
    The Chinese party and government provided the modern glass factory free to the DPRK and made sure that the factory was built at the highest level, which clearly shows how much effort they have made to boost the DPRK-China friendship.
    We are grateful to the Chinese comrades for providing the large glass factory free to the DPRK at a time when it is making a hard drive to open up a turning phase in socialist construction. We will always not forget but value the feelings of great friendship.
    It is the steadfast stand of our Party and government to value the traditional DPRK-China friendship which has overcome all sorts of ordeals of history and invariably consolidate and develop it generation after generation.
    We will make every effort to more energetically boost the DPRK-China friendship in the spirit of an agreement reached between the top leaders of the two countries and in accordance with the desire and aspiration of the two peoples.
    The premier expressed the belief that the glass factory would greatly contribute to deepening the friendship between the two peoples and building a great prosperous powerful socialist nation in Korea.
