Telegram from the Chairman of the DPRK Cabinet of Ministers to the Chairman of the Soviet Council of Ministers on the occasion of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement
29 July 1953
Dear Cde. Chairman!
Allow me in the name of the government and all the people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to express sincere gratitude to you and through you the Soviet government and all the Soviet people for the hearty congratulations on the occasion of the historic victory of the Korean people and the Chinese people's volunteers in the bloody war provoked by the American imperialists against the Korean people.
I am deeply convinced that the enormous unselfish aid and support of the Soviet people to the Korean people serves as one of the main factors of our victory in the difficult three- year war in defense of the freedom and independence of our motherland against the American aggressors and a reliable guarantee that the Korean people will successfully carry out the very important tasks with which they are faced in connection with the armistice of the achievement of the peaceful unification of their motherland and the speedy recovery of an economy ravaged by war.
The expression of the Soviet government's readiness to give all possible aid to the Korean people, who have now begun to solve the problems associated with the peaceful unification of their motherland and peaceful construction, strengthens our confidence and inspires us to further victories in our work.
Chairman of the DPRK Cabinet of Ministers Kim Il Sung
Kim Il Sung thanks the Soviet government and people for their support and aid throughout the Korean War.
