Message from the President
Quote
Excellency,
On behalf of the Government and people of Pakistan and on my own behalf, it gives me great pleasure to extend warmest felicitations to Your Excellency and the government and people of China on the historic occasion of the 60 th anniversary of the People's Republic of China.
The Pakistan Peoples Party has a very old association with the People's Republic of China . The founder and first Chairman of the PPP, Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto was the principal architect of Pak-China ‘all weather friendship'. As a result of his vision, the brotherly ties between our two countries have, over the years, flowered into a comprehensive strategic partnership based on mutually beneficial cooperation.
China 's civilizational renaissance is a defining theme of the 21 st century. For us in Pakistan , China 's success story has come to serve as a source of inspiration and confidence. We believe that China is a factor of stability and of hope for the people of the world. This belief is reinforced by the fact that China 's growth has, in its wake, brought peace, prosperity and harmony in its immediate neighbourhood and beyond.
Through our deep and abiding friendship, Pakistan and China can together make a significant contribution to fashioning a better future for all people and work towards creating a peaceful and harmonious world.
I avail myself of this opportunity to convey 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 esteem and consideration.
