Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 6. On January 5, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China sent a telegram to congratulate the eighth congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea.

The congratulatory message says:

  The Workers' Party of Korea is a strong organizer and leader of the Korean revolution and construction.

For a long time, the Workers’ Party of Korea has led the Korean people in unity and has made historic achievements in the great journey of advancing the cause of North Korea’s socialism.

In recent years, under the strong leadership of the Central Committee of the Workers’ Party of Korea headed by Chairman Kim Jong Un, the Workers’ Party of Korea attaches great importance to strengthening its own construction and has achieved a series of important results in developing the economy and people’s livelihood, improving the external environment, and effectively responding to the epidemic.

We are sincerely happy for this.

  The Eighth Congress of the Workers’ Party of Korea is a major event in the political life of the Korean Party and people. It will make strategic plans and deployments for the building of the Korean Party and the country’s economic development for some time to come, which is of great significance.

I believe that the Workers’ Party of Korea and the Korean people will use this conference as an opportunity to continuously win new victories in the cause of socialist construction in North Korea.

  China and North Korea are friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers, and the two parties have long maintained a fine tradition of friendly exchanges.

In recent years, under the strategic guidance and personal promotion of the top leaders of the two parties and two countries, China-DPRK relations have opened a new chapter in history.

Under the new situation, China is willing to work with the DPRK to maintain, consolidate and develop China-DPRK relations under the guidance of the important consensus of the top leaders of the two parties and the two countries, so as to better benefit the two countries and two peoples, and to achieve regional peace and stability. Make new positive contributions to development and prosperity.
