Pyongyang, April 11 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il received a message from Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, president of the People's Republic of China and chairman of the Central Military Commission of the PRC, on Friday congratulating him on his reelection as chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK at the First Session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly.

Noting that the reelection of Kim Jong Il as chairman of the NDC is the Korean people's expression of sincere support and profound trust in him, the message said:

I believe that the fraternal Korean people will surely register steady fresh successes in the construction of Korean-style socialism and the work to achieve the independent and peaceful reunification of the country under the leadership of the WPK headed by you.

It is the consistent policy of the party and government of China to consolidate and develop the Sino-DPRK good neighborly relations of friendship and cooperation.

The Chinese side will make joint efforts with the DPRK side to further develop the Sino-DPRK good neighborly relations of friendship and cooperation on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-DPRK diplomatic relations and the year of Sino-DPRK friendship.

Please accept my wishes for the prosperity of your country and the happiness of your people.
