I extend congratulations to you and all the Korean people on behalf of the A Just Russia and on my own behalf on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the founding of the DPRK.

It was an important event in the modern world history that Comrade Kim Il Sung founded the DPRK in 1948.

This event brought about the beginning of the building of a new socialist state on the Korean peninsula.

I wish you good health and happiness and all the citizens of the DPRK great successes.

I hope the cooperation between our two countries and between the A Just Russia and the Workers' Party of Korea would successfully develop.

Please accept my high regards.
