Ri Kwang Gun, chairman of the DPRK Football Association, Sunday sent a letter to Jong Mong Jun, chairman of the South Korean Football Association, congratulating the football team of South Korea on its success in the 17th World Soccer Championships. Noting that the success made by the team is a striking demonstration of the advantages and tenacity of the Korean nation to the world.

The letter said:

The successive successes made by your football team in the wake of the victory achieved by our eleven in the London Soccer Championships held in 1966 which stunned the world are a victory common to the nation which convinces the fellow countrymen that they can defeat any strong team in the world and emerge the strongest if they have a will.

This, at the same time, instills into the nation the confidence that they can achieve the independent reunification of the country more smoothly if they pool efforts and wisdom.

The letter expressed expectation that Jong Mong Jun would greatly help the compatriots pool their efforts in the days ahead.
