Reference News Network, December 25 report: According to the Korean Central News Agency, on December 25, Comrade Kim Jong-un, Chairman of the State Affairs Commission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, received a congratulatory telegram from President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation sent on the 18th. The text of the telegram is as follows:
Dear Comrade Kim Jong-un: On the occasion of the New Year, I extend my sincere congratulations and greetings to you.
The past year was a special year for relations between Moscow and Pyongyang. Korean People's Army soldiers bravely participated in the campaign to liberate the Kursk region from the occupiers, and then the Korean engineering troops carried out activities in Russia. This clearly proves the unbreakable combat friendship between the Russian Federation and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. It is important that, through our joint efforts, each clause of the historic comprehensive strategic partnership treaty has been implemented systematically. This has contributed to significantly expanding productive bilateral cooperation in political, economic, trade, cultural, and other fields.
I believe that we will continue to spare no effort to strengthen the friendly alliance relationship and carry out constructive cooperation in regional and international affairs. This will undoubtedly be in line with the fundamental interests of our two peoples and will contribute to establishing a just multipolar world order. I wish you and your family members good health, happiness, and success, and I also hope that all citizens of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea enjoy happiness and prosperity.
Sincerely,
