Respected and Beloved Comrades:

　　The entire Vietnamese people warmly welcome the statement issued by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Government of the People's Republic of China firmly supporting the Appeal issued by the Central Committee of the Viet Nam Workers' Party and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam on December 10, 1970.
　　This is a powerful support and tremendous encouragement to the whole Party and all the people of Viet Nam who are vigorously carrying out the sacred testament of the respected and beloved President Ho Chi Minh, who are firmly resolved to smash any new adventure of U.S. imperialism and are persisting in and vigorously stepping up the struggle against U.S. aggression and for national salvation till complete victory, and who are fighting shoulder to shoulder with the Laotian and Cambodian peoples to defeat the war of aggression unleashed by U.S. imperialism in Indo-China and are making contribution to the common struggle of the world people for peace, national independence, democracy and socialism.
　　We, on behalf of the Vietnamese people, the Viet Nam Workers* Party and the Government of the Democratic Republic of Viet Nam, wholeheartedly thank you, the Chinese people, the Communist Party of China and the Government of the People's Republic of China, for this powerful support. The Vietnamese people will always be grateful to the Communist Party of China, the Government of the People's Republic of China and the 700 million Chinese people for their tremendous, precious and effective support and assistance to the Vietnamese people in their struggle against U.S. aggression and for national salvation and in their socialist construction.
　　We avail ourselves of this opportunity to wish the Chinese people, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China headed by the respected and beloved Chairman Mao Tsetung, to win many new and enormous victories in socialist construction and in the struggle against imperialism headed by U.S. imperialism.
　　May the fraternal friendship and militant unity between the two Parties and two peoples of Viet Nam and China consolidate and develop from day to day.
Sincerely wishing you good health,
