    Pyongyang, October 10 (KCNA) -- It is our hope that the friendly and cooperative relations between China and the DPRK would steadily grow and the friendship between the two peoples shine forever. Wu Yi, member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and vice-premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, said this in a congratulatory speech made at a ceremony of commissioning the Taean Friendship Glass Factory that was held in grand style on Oct. 9 on the occasion of the 60th birthday of the Workers' Party of Korea.
    The glass factory was built under the personal concern of the leaders of the two countries, she said, adding that the factory is another symbol of the Sino-DPRK friendship in the new century and fresh fruition of the traditional friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries in the new era and under the new situation.
    Saying that the builders of both sides have opened a new page of traditional friendship between the two countries to meet the expectation of the leaders and peoples of the two countries, she, on behalf of the Chinese government, extended warm greetings to all builders of the factory. It is a fixed policy of the Chinese party and government to steadily consolidate and boost the friendly and cooperative relations between the two countries, she said, and continued:
    We sincerely hope that the factory will play a due role in socialist construction in the DPRK and in the development of the relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries. It is my belief that the traditional Sino-DPRK friendly and cooperative relations will grow stronger and bring bigger happiness to the two countries and the two peoples full of vigor and vitality under the direct care of the leaders of the two countries and by the concerted efforts of both sides. Concluding her speech, she wholeheartedly wished the Korean people greater success in their efforts to build Korean-style socialism under the leadership of the WPK headed by General Secretary Kim Jong Il.
