On the occasion of the
National Day of the People’s Republic of China, it gives me great
pleasure to convey to you, the Government and people of China our
heartfelt felicitations. Our two people have enjoyed exemplary
friendship that has been imbued with ever-new vitality and vigour by
each succeeding generation. We earnestly believe that
Pakistan-China friendship and comprehensive partnership is in the
interest of our two countries and an important factor for peace and
progress of our region. The people of Pakistan rejoice over the
great national accomplishments of our Chinese friends. China’s
enormous economic progress has opened new vistas for further
strengthening of mutually beneficial ties not only between our two
countries but for the region as a whole.
This year, we have commemorated with great fervor the 55th
anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between
Pakistan and China. I had the opportunity to visit China twice and
we eagerly look forward to Your Excellency’s visit to Pakistan. I
avail myself of this opportunity to convey our best wishes for Your
Excellency’s good health and happiness and continued progress and
prosperity of the friendly people of China. Please accept,
Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration and esteem.
To
His Excellency
Hu Jintao
President
People’s Republic of China
