To the Committee of the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement:

The PCP sends its most cordial greetings to the Committee and hails the successful carrying out of the Second International Conference of Marxist-Leninist parties and organisatioans, which has taken the immensely significant step of forming the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement to which we’ve adhered and whose Declaration we’ve signed by express agreement of the Central Committee of our Party.

Comrades, the process of the proletariat, of its communist parties and of the world revolution, has won great victories and confronted hard setbacks, but from them it has summed up substantial lessons, especially from setbacks which are always very educational, and today, clearly, it is more and more entering a new period of powerful revolutionary storms. It is within this context and with this perspective that we communists are once again uniting and surging forward as the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement so as to continue–and of necessity develop–the glorious road of the International Communist Movement concretised in the invincible ideology of the proletariat and its three great peaks:

Marx, Lenin and Mao Tsetung. Thus we firmly believe that this resurgence of such far-reaching historic importance for the world revolution, signified by the RIM, is born under the lasting watchword “Proletarians of all countries, unite” and will develop upholding, defending and applying imperishable Marxism-Leninism-Maoism.

As for the armed struggle in Peru; we would simply like to emphasise that it continues to blaze victoriously four years after it was begun, advancing further in the construction of the People’s Guerrilla Army, in the building of the basis of the New State applying the slogan “Strengthen the People’s New Democratic Republic”, all under the leadership of the Party which has won new and remarkable victories in its combat against the armed forces and police of the reactionary Peruvian state, having achieved the extension of the armed struggle to other areas of the country in order to generalise guerrilla warfare through developing high mobility. And it is most important to reiterate that the armed struggle led in Peru by our Party under the invincible banners of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism is only a part of the world revolution which it serves and for whose sake it develops, all the more now that we adhere to the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement.

Glory to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism!

Long Live the Revolutionary Internationalist Movement!
