The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un,

We extend congratulations to you on the occasion of the 82nd birth anniversary of Comrade Kim Jong Il, the great leader of the Korean people.

Comrade Kim Jong Il devoted his whole life to the improvement of the Korean people’s living.

He, an outstanding statesman and man of practice, carried forward the cause of the great leader Comrade Kim Il Sung and mobilized the Korean people to build a powerful socialist country by pursuing the Songun politics in the unstable international situation.

Under his wise leadership, the DPRK has become an advanced power which has nuclear weapons, develops the most advanced technology and provides all its citizens with excellent living conditions.

The most respected Comrade Kim Jong Un,

You are successfully carrying forward the cause of Comrade Kim Il Sung and Comrade Kim Jong Il.

I am convinced that the friendly relations between the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Workers’ Party of Korea will continue to grow strong and bring great fruition to the peoples of the fraternal two countries.

Please accept my high regards.
