Dear Comrades:
As the fraternal Albanian people celebrate the 29th anniversary of their motherland's
liberation, on behalf of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese government, and the
people, we extend our warmest congratulations to you and, through you, to the Albanian
Party of Labor, the Albanian government, and the people.
For 29 years, the heroic Albanian people, under the leadership of the Albanian Party of
Labor, headed by their great leader, Comrade Enver Hoxha, have achieved brilliant successes
on all fronts of socialist revolution and socialist construction. They have made important
contributions to the struggle against Soviet revisionism and US imperialism and in support of
the people's revolutions of all countries. Currently, the Albanian people, filled with
revolutionary enthusiasm, are striving diligently to implement the resolutions of the Sixth
Congress of the Albanian Party of Labor. We sincerely wish the Albanian people new and
greater achievements.
The Chinese and Algerian parties, two countries, and two peoples have forged a profound
revolutionary friendship in the long struggle against imperialism, revisionism, and
reactionaries, and in the cause of socialist revolution and construction. This friendship,
founded on Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism, cannot be destroyed by any
force. In our common struggle ahead, we will, as always, stand in close unity with you,
fighting shoulder to shoulder for greater victory.
Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China
