The ruling parties of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), Vietnam, Laos and Cuba respectively have sent congratulatory messages to the Communist Party of China (CPC), congratulating the CPC on the 90th anniversary of its founding on July 1.

"The founding of the CPC was a historic event which marked an occasion of a decisive turn in carrying out the Chinese revolution and carving out the destiny of the Chinese people," Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea of the DPRK, said in his congratulatory telegram to Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is also general secretary of the Central Committee of the CPC.

"Thanks to its founding the Chinese people came to have their genuine guiding vanguard and could work world-startling miracles through a gigantic struggle and creation to eradicate centuries-old backwardness and poverty and achieve the country's prosperity," the telegram said.

"The CPC laid down the line of socialist construction with Chinese characteristics suited to its specific conditions and aroused creative zeal of the broad masses to remarkably boost the country's overall national power and its international prestige in a historically short period," it said.

"The triumphant path covered by the CPC for nine decades fully demonstrated the validity and invincible vitality of its leadership and the socialist cause," it said.

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam said in a congratulatory letter that, over the past 90 years under the leadership of the CPC, the Chinese people overcame various difficulties and achieved a historic great victory in the cause of national liberation and socialist construction, especially in reform and opening-up to the outside world as well as modernization drive.

The Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people warmly congratulated on the achievements that China has scored in the reform and opening-up to the outside world over more than 30 years, and firmly believed that the Chinese people, under the leadership of the CPC, will surely score greater achievements, the letter said.

The congratulatory letter also said that developing the traditional friendly relationship and overall mutual trust cooperation between the two countries meets the interests of the peoples of the two countries and is conducive to the peace, stability, cooperation and development of the region and the whole world.

The Central Committee of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party (LPRP) said in a congratulatory letter that, under the leadership of the CPC, China's cause of reform and opening-up to the outside world has scored enormous achievements and the merits of socialism have been fully displayed.

China's political stability, fast and steady economic development, and increasingly rising living standards have laid a solid foundation for it to build the socialism with Chinese characteristics, and increasingly enhanced China's influence in the region and the world, it said.

The LPRP's Central Committee also said that the LPRP is willing to deepen the overall strategic partnership between the two sides and push relations between the two countries to continuously develop.

Raul Castro, first secretary of Cuba's Communist Party, said in his congratulatory letter that, over the past 90 years, the CPC has embarked on a hard struggle for winning and safeguarding national independence, sovereignty and unity, and established great achievements in complex circumstances.

He said that Cuba's Communist Party will continue to strengthen the friendly relations between the two parties, the two countries and the two peoples.
