The Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea received a congratulatory message from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on February 19.

The message said:

At a time when the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea is to be victoriously convened, the Communist Party of China Central Committee, on behalf of the CPC and the Chinese people, warmly congratulates the Ninth Congress of the WPK, and, through the congress, extends sincere greetings and beautiful wishes to all the members of the WPK and other Korean people.

The Workers’ Party of Korea is the solid leadership core for the Korean revolution and construction.

It has achieved important successes in the course of propelling the socialist cause of the DPRK by rallying and leading its people and strenuously working hard for a long time.

Under the firm leadership of General Secretary Kim Jong Un, the WPK has embodied the five-point Party-building line in the new era and steadily followed the road of socialism, and made a series of joyful successes by channelling efforts into economic development and the improvement of people's living standards in recent years.

The Chinese side is wholeheartedly pleased with this.

The Ninth Congress of the WPK, a great event in the political life of the Korean Party and people, is of weighty significance in drawing up a strategic plan for the Party building and the national economic development and allocating assignments for a certain period of time.

The CPC hopes that the Korean people will steadily achieve fresh and bigger successes in socialist construction under the firm leadership of the WPK Central Committee headed by General Secretary Kim Jong Un.

China and the DPRK are the socialist states led by communist parties.

In recent years, the China-DPRK relations have entered a new historic period thanks to the strategic guidance of the top leaders of the two parties and two countries.

The CPC has consistently attached great importance to the development of friendly and cooperative relations with the WPK, and is ready to jointly guide the sound and stable development of the China-DPRK relations, propel the stable and long-term development of the socialist cause of the two countries and promote the regional peace, stability, development and prosperity by boosting communication and visits and further strengthening the exchange of experience in the management of the Party and state with the WPK.

We wish the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea good success.
