The message reads as follows:

Esteemed Comrade First Secratary,

I extend my warm and sincere congratulations to you on your re-election as the President of the Republic of Cuba at the constitutive session of the 10 th National Assembly of People’s Power of Cuba.

Your continued assumption of the important post as the President of the Republic of Cuba is an expression of high confidence in and support of the Cuban Party, government and people to you, and is a sure guarantee for firmly safeguarding and advancing the socialist cause of Cuba in the face of the hostile forces’ vicious and persistent sanctions and blockade and their moves to disintegrate the country from within and manifold difficulties.

I am firmly convinced that the fraternal Cuban people will closely unite around the Cuban Party and government headed by you, the First Secretary, and win a shining victory in the struggle to creditably carry forward the revolutionary cause pioneered by the forerunners at the cost of their blood and build a powerful and prosperous socialist country.

Our Party, government and people will, in the future, too, always stand by the Cuban Party, government and people on the road of accomplishing the socialist cause and will exert all efforts to further strengthen and develop the strategic and comradely relations of friendship and cooperation between the two countries. I sincerely wish you greater successes in your important and responsible work of leading the Party and the state.
