Dear Comrades:
On the 27th anniversary of Albania's liberation, on behalf of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China, the Government of the People's Republic of China, and the
Chinese people, we extend our warmest festive greetings to you, to the Central Committee
of the Albanian Party of Workers, to the Government of the People's Republic of Albania,
and to the Albanian people.
Twenty-seven years ago, the heroic Albanian people, under the leadership of the Albanian
Party of Labor, led by Comrade Enver Hoxha, took up arms, defeated fascism, established a
red people's regime, and ushered in a new era in Albanian history. Since liberation, the
Albanian people have adhered to the principle of independence and self-reliance, achieving
brilliant achievements in socialist revolution and socialist construction, making Albania an
indestructible revolutionary bastion.
The Albanian Party of Labor and the Albanian people have always despised the seemingly
powerful US imperialism and Soviet revisionist social-imperialism, resolutely opposed the
superpowers' power politics and hegemonism, and made important contributions in the
struggle to defend Marxism-Leninism, oppose modern revisionism, and support the
revolutionary cause of the peoples of all countries. You uphold truth and principles, and
voice justice on the international stage. Your proletarian internationalist spirit has won the
admiration and praise of genuine Communists and revolutionary people in all countries.
The Communist Party of China and the Chinese people regard all the achievements of the
glorious Albanian Party of Labor and the fraternal Albanian people as their own, and are
delighted and encouraged by them. We sincerely wish the Albanian people, under the
leadership of the Albanian Party of Labor, headed by the great Marxist-Leninist Comrade
Enver Hoxha, to continue their revolutionary journey and achieve new and greater victories
in fulfilling the various combat tasks set forth at your Party's Sixth Congress!



 Long live the great friendship and fighting unity between the Chinese and Albanian parties,
countries, and peoples!
Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China
