At this time, Li Yung Ho replaced Choe Il as ambassador of the Democratic People’s
Republic of Korea to the PRC. The RMRB source does not carry a salutation for this speech.

I am very happy to accept the letter of credence from the Standing Committee
of the Supreme People’s Assembly of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
which you have presented and am grateful for your warm and sincere greetings.
