Rodong Sinmun Celebrates Chinese Birthday
Pyongyang, October 1 (KCNA) -- The Korean people extend warm congratulations to the friendly Chinese people significantly celebrating the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China, says Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a by-lined article.

The birth of the PRC, the first people's power in China, ushered in the history of building a free, new life of the Chinese nation, the article notes, and goes on to say:

The Chinese people are now working hard to build a harmonious socialist society based on the scientific outlook on development and achieve the reunification of the whole country under the leadership of the Communist Party of China with Hu Jintao as its general secretary.

The Korean people heartily hope that the Chinese people would achieve greater successes in their future work.

The peoples of the two countries have closely supported and cooperated with each other in the common struggle for socialist construction and independence and peace against imperialism.

The traditional DPRK-China friendship is favorably developing day by day under the deep care of the leaders of the two countries.

It is the consistent stand of the Workers' Party of Korea and the DPRK government to steadily strengthen the DPRK-China friendly relations.

The WPK and the DPRK government will as ever make positive efforts to further develop the traditional DPRK-China friendship, legacy of the revolutionaries of the elder generation of the two countries and common wealth of the two peoples.
