Goodwill Envoy of Vietnamese People (Editorial, Rodong Sinmun, KCNA/ October 16, 2007)

The visit of the goodwill envoy of the Vietnamese people to the DPRK (North Korea) constitutes support and encouragement to the (North) Korean people in their just struggle for socialism and national reunification and marks a great event in strengthening and developing the DPRK-Vietnam friendly relations.

   The bilateral friendly relations are based on the comradely relationship which President Kim Il-sung forged with Ho Chi Minh, respected leader of the Vietnamese people, and have developed on good terms on the basis of them.

   The peoples of the two countries waged an arduous and difficult joint struggle against the imperialist aggressors, their common enemy, sharing intentions and will. Over the past years the bilateral relations of friendship and cooperation have grown strong in the course of carrying out the common cause of building socialism against the imperialist aggressors, making contributions to promoting the revolution and construction in the two countries and ensuring peace and security in Asia.

   The DPRK-Vietnam friendly relations have now entered a new phase of development. The visit of the president of the Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly to Vietnam and the visit of the president of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to the DPRK in recent years marked important occasions in developing the bilateral friendly relations onto a higher stage as required by the new century.

   Today the Vietnamese people are defending and advancing socialism chosen by them under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam headed by Nong Duc Manh.

   The peoples of the two countries are supporting and solidarizing with each other in their causes. The DPRK visit of the secretary general of the C.C., the Communist Party of Vietnam will record a new chapter in the history of the DPRK-Vietnam friendship and go a long way towards promoting the socialist cause and the movement for global independence.
