The founding of the PRC, the precious gain of the hard-fought Chinese revolution, marked an event of immense historic significance as it gave new origin to carving out the destiny of the Chinese people, the message said, and continued:

For the past 70 years, the resourceful and diligent Chinese people waged unyielding struggle under the great leadership of the CPC to weather all sorts of challenges and hardship of history and bring about an epochal change on the land of China. This has markedly increased the overall national power and international prestige of the PRC.

The history of gigantic struggle covered by the PRC clearly proved that socialism is, indeed, the most correct and inevitable option for the Chinese people and that the leadership by the CPC is a key factor that enabled the Chinese people to follow the path of victory only, unperturbed by any tempests.

We are sure that the fraternal Chinese people will attain the "Two Century Goals" and surely emerge victorious in the new long journey for realizing the dream of China, i.e. great prosperity of the Chinese nation, as they are led by the general secretary and the CPC and there is the idea of building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the new era.

Our party, government and people fully support the Chinese party, government and people in their struggle to defend the stability and the core interests of the country and achieve sustained development, and will always stand by them on the path of defending and glorifying socialism.
