The general secretary said the Cuba-DPRK relations of friendship and cooperation provided by respected Fidel Castro Ruz and President Kim Il Sung, the great leader of the Korean people, have been developed by respected Raul Castro Ruz and leader Kim Jong Il and Marshal Kim Jong Un.

The peoples of the two countries have fought shoulder to shoulder with the common ideal, smashing the moves of the imperialists disturbing world peace and stability, he said, and went on:

The eye-opening achievements made in the DPRK are showing the will of the Korean people to vigorously advance under the uplifted banner of the revolution under the guidance of their leader.

The general secretary sincerely wished Kim Jong Un good health and bigger successes in his responsible work for leading the building of a thriving socialist nation.

Noting that the Korean people will always win victory in the anti-imperialist struggle and never yield to any difficulties, he expressed belief that the Cuban people will steadily strengthen the eternal relations of comrades-in-arms with the Korean people.
