I compliment The Daily Mail on publishing a Special Supplement to affirm the solidarity between the people of Pakistan and China on the occasion of National Day of People's republic of China. On this important occasion, we rejoice with the Government and People of China on their momentous national achievements, which are a source of immense satisfaction and strength for Pakistan. Pakistan and China enjoy exemplary friendship that has not only withstood the test of time and vicissitudes in global environment but has been enriched by each succeeding generation. Our close cooperative and comprehensive partnership is in the fundamental interests of the peoples of Pakistan and China and a critical factor for ensuring peace and stability in the region. Pakistan-China relations are based on mutual trust, complete understanding and a shared vision of peace and prosperity. We wish the Government and friendly people of China ever greater progress and prosperity and success in all their national endeavours.
