The respected Comrade Kim Jong Un received a congratulatory letter from the General Association of Koreans in China on February 16.
The GAKC said in its letter that it is celebrating with splendour the 84th birth anniversary of the great Generalissimo Kim Jong Il as the greatest significant holiday at a stirring time when all the people in the homeland are creating the Korean speed and legend on all major fronts of socialist construction in order to glorify the Ninth Congress of the Workers' Party of Korea as a congress of victory and glory.
Born as the son of the guerrillas on Mt Paektu, a sacred mountain of the revolution, Kim Jong Il experienced the days of the bloody anti-Japanese war and the hard-fought Fatherland Liberation War, hardened his patriotic intention and will, courage and pluck of Paektu and led the DPRK and its people to victory with his great ambition to glorify the country before the world, the letter noted, and went on:
General Kim Jong Il, brilliant commander of Mt Paektu, made the indefatigable long journey for Songun during the whole course of his revolutionary leadership with his firm will that the powerful arms ensure socialism and the security and happiness of the people. He built up the Korean People's Army into the army of the Party and the people, the army strong in idea and faith, firmly consolidated the matchless defence capabilities and performed undying exploits in firmly defending the destiny of the country and its people and socialism of Juche by bringing about victory after victory in the all-out confrontation with the hostile forces with his matchless courage and superb strategy.
His patriotic desire for building a powerful country is being translated into a brilliant reality in the motherland under the guidance of the respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, a peerlessly great man.
Thanks to the devoted service for the people's wellbeing made by Kim Jong Un, who has never felt contented in the work for the people and is devoting himself to them, grand monumental edifices for the people's happiness and civilization are mushrooming across the country, the letter said.
The letter expressed the will to build up more firmly the GAKC into a patriotic organization always remaining loyal to the leadership of Kim Jong Un and sharing the destiny with the motherland, into a rank in which its officials and members are firmly united with a single mind, and into a energetic group contributing to the development of the DPRK-China friendly relations.
