I extend warm congratulations and comradely greetings to you on your 75th birthday.

I am pleased that the Lao people under the LPRP headed by you have dynamically turned out in the struggle to achieve the socio-economic development of the country in hearty response to the decision of its 9th congress.

Availing myself of this opportunity, I sincerely wish you greater success in your responsible work for the development of your party and the prosperity of the country and good health, believing that the traditional friendly and cooperative relations between the two parties and countries would grow stronger in the common struggle for socialism against imperialism.
