Our Party, government and people are rejoiced over the fact that the Chinese party, government and people, rallied close around the general secretary, have achieved remarkable successes in the struggle to build a modern socialist country in recent years.

We are sure that the Chinese people will achieve a fresh victory in carrying out the tasks, set forth by the 20th CPC Congress, under the leadership of the Central Committee of the CPC with the general secretary as its core.

Today the two parties and the two countries are defending and advancing socialism, the common cause, while supporting and closely cooperating with each other.

Expressing the belief that the traditional DPRK-China friendly relations would invariably develop in depth in conformity with the common desire of the two parties and the two peoples and the demand of the new era, the message wished the PRC prosperity and its people happiness.

It also wished General Secretary Xi Jinping good health and greater success in his work.
