To: His Excellency Xi Jinping, President, The People's Republic of China
Your Excellency,
I am pleased to extend my warmest congratulations on your re-appointment as General Secretary of the Communist Party of China during the successful convening of the 20th National Congress.
Under your strong and able leadership, China has achieved major socio-economic growth and development in all ranging from addressing corruption, poverty elimination, climate change as well as promoting science and technology. I believe that China will continue to progress in building a great and modern socialist country based on your vision of a "beautiful China". Such advancements will not only benefit the people of China, but also the wider Asia-Pacific region.
We also appreciate your role and contributions to promoting regional and international peace, security and stability and hope China will continue to be a leading strategic major power for the betterment of our peoples.
Our strategic cooperative partnership has strengthened over the years, with bilateral cooperation expanding across many fields including your country's role in our diversification efforts. I look forward to further opportunities in deepening our much-valued ties at the bilateral and multilateral level.
With my best wishes for your continued good health and success.
SULTAN HAJI HASSANAL BOLKIAH
