Todor Zhivkov, first secretary of the BCP Central Committee and chairman of the State Council, and Stanko Todorov, chairman of the Council of Ministers, have received the following telegram from Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal, first secretary of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party [MPRP] Central Committee and chairman of the People's Great Hural Presidium, and Jambyn Batmonh, chairman of the Mongolian People's Republic [MPR] Council of Ministers:
Dear comrades,
On behalf of the MPRP Central Committee, the People's Great Hural Presidium, and the MPR Council of Ministers, as well as on behalf of all Mongolian people and on our own behalf, we convey to you and, through you to the BCP Central Committee, the State Council, and the Council of Ministers of the Bulgarian People's Republic, as well as to the fraternal Bulgarian people, the most sincere greetings and best wishes on the occasion of the 33d anniversary of the victory of socialist revolution in Bulgaria.
During the years of the people's government the Bulgarian People's Republic was transformed into a developed, industrialized socialist state, thanks to the selfless efforts of the Bulgarian people, under the leadership of their militant vanguard—the BCP—and as a result of the unshakable friendship and close cooperation with the great Soviet Union and with the other fraternal countries.
The Mongolian people sincerely rejoice in the historical achievements of the fraternal Bulgarian people, achievements which are contributing to the increase of the prestige and power of worldwide socialism. People in the MPR highly appreciate this important contribution which the Bulgarian People's Republic, through its active foreign policy, coordinated with the policy of the fraternal countries, is making to the consolidation of the cause of peace and security, to the development of international cooperation in the Balkans, in Europe, and throughout the world.
In celebrating the anniversary of the victory of socialist revolution in Bulgaria, we note with pleasure that the fraternal friendship and useful cooperation between our two peoples, parties and states, a friendship and cooperation based on the principles of Marxism-Leninism and socialist inter-nationalism, are successfully developing and are being constantly and in-creasingly enriched by essential new elements and forms.
We are deeply convinced that our relations will be raised to an even higher level as a result of the trends outlined by the 17th MPRP Congress and by the 11th BCP Congress, trends aimed at the comprehensive consolidation of the unity and cohesion of the countries belonging to the socialist community and at the further intensification of the process of socialist economic integration.
On this remarkable day, the national holiday of the Bulgarian people, with all our hearts, dear comrades, we wish you and the entire fraternal Bulgarian people great successes in building a developed, socialist society in your beautiful country.
