Comrade Enver Hoxha, First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Party of Labor of
Albania:
 On the 22nd anniversary of Albania's liberation, on behalf of the Communist Party of China
and the Chinese people, I extend my warmest congratulations to the Party of Labor of
Albania and the Albanian people.
The Albanian people, under the correct leadership of the Albanian Party of Labor, headed by
you, have achieved brilliant victories in the struggle against class enemies at home and
abroad, and in the great cause of socialist revolution and socialist construction. Albania has
transformed from a poor and backward country into a socialist state with modern industry
and collective agriculture. In recent years, the Albanian Party of Labor and the government
have adopted a series of revolutionary measures to further consolidate the dictatorship of
the proletariat and significantly advance the development of socialist construction. The
political tasks set forth and the ambitious program formulated by the Fifth Congress of the
Albanian Party of Labor have opened up an even brighter future for socialist Albania. The
Albanian people are confidently and courageously marching forward along the path charted
by the Party of Labor.
The Albanian Party of Labor and people have consistently held high the great red banner of
Marxism-Leninism, resolutely opposed the U.S. imperialist policies of aggression and war,
and waged a tit-for-tat struggle against modern revisionism centered around the leadership
clique of the CPSU. The Albanian Party of Labor and people firmly support the Vietnamese
people's struggle to resist U.S. aggression and save their nation, and firmly support the
revolutionary struggles of the peoples of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and throughout the
world. Heroic Albania is a staunch bulwark against imperialism and modern revisionism.
The Chinese and Algerian parties and peoples have forged a profound revolutionary
friendship in the cause of socialist revolution and construction, and in the struggle against
imperialism and modern revisionism. This friendship, founded on the principles of Marxism-
Leninism and proletarian internationalism, is eternal and unbreakable. Let us jointly hold
high the great red banner of Marxism-Leninism and, together with all Marxist-Leninists and
all oppressed peoples and nations throughout the world, resolutely carry the struggle
against imperialism and modern revisionism, and the cause of proletarian revolution,
through to the end.
May the great friendship between the Chinese and Algerian parties and peoples last forever!
Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China
