Your Excellency,
I would like to convey my heartiest congratulations to you, and to the Government and the people of the People's Republic of China on the occasion of the 73rd Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic.
Brunei Darussalam and China share warm and long-standing relations in trade and investment, energy, infrastructure, agriculture and fisheries, and people-to-people exchanges. I am pleased that the strong bonds between our countries have continued to flourish over the years, as reflected by the frequent interactions at all levels and assistance extended to one another in times of need.
I greatly appreciate your personal commitment to further strengthening these much-valued ties as well as the friendship you have extended to me over the years. I look forward to continuing our valuable work together in enhancing the progress and prosperity of our two countries and the region as a whole.
With my kindest regards and best wishes for you and your family's continued good health and happiness, as well as for the progress and prosperity of the People's Republic of China.
