The reply message said:
Comrade General Secretary,
I express heartfelt thanks to you, Comrade General Secretary, for sending a passionate and sincere message of greeting on the occasion of the 77th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
For 77 years since the founding of new China, the Chinese people worked two miracles - the rapid development of the economy and the long-term stability of society - through an uninterrupted effort in single-hearted unity under the firm leadership of the Communist Party of China. They have achieved the goal of building a comprehensively well-off society in an all-round way as scheduled and are making a dynamic advance towards the goal of comprehensively building a modern and powerful socialist country.
The two countries, China and the DPRK, are linked by the same mountain and rivers. They are friendly generation after generation and defending and helping each other while sharing their destiny. It constitutes a clear feature of the China-DPRK relations all the time.
In June this year I met again with you, Comrade General Secretary, during my state visit to the DPRK, and achieved a series of important shared understanding as regards the development of the China-DPRK relations and made a stride forward in the strategic guidance.
The Chinese side, together with the DPRK side, is ready to add lustre to the traditional China-DPRK friendship, consolidate the political mutual trust, expand and develop the working-level cooperation, and promote the well-being of the peoples of the two countries and make positive contributions to the regional and global peace and development by closely conducting communication and coordination.
We are pleased to see the DPRK opening up a new era of overall development of socialism.
I believe that the socialist cause of the DPRK will surely and continuously open up a new phase under the firm leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea headed by you, Comrade General Secretary.
I wish that you, Comrade General Secretary, would enjoy good health and your work go well.
I wish your country prosperity and your people happiness and well-being. -0-
