On the occasion of the National Day of the People’s Republic of China, I wish to convey on behalf of the government and the people of Pakistan our warm felicitations. The friendship between our two peoples spans several centuries and has been further fortified over more than five decades. Close civilizational interaction has provided a solid foundation for our all weather, time tested mutually beneficial relations. We are determined to further cement our friendship by enhancing economic, cultural and people to people relations.  I have no doubt that in the years to come, our comprehensive partnership will be further strengthened to the mutual benefits of our two countries and the region as a whole.Your visit to Pakistan last year was an outstanding success.  The people of Pakistan look forward to welcoming President Hu Jintao later this year. I wish to convey to Your Excellency our best wishes for your good health and happiness and ever-greater progress and prosperity of the people of China. Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.


To His Excellency
Wen Jiabao
Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China
