Your Excellency,

On the occasion of your assumption of the office of President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan for the second term, I would like to extend to Your Excellency my sincere congratulations and best wishes.

I believe that, under your leadership, the Pakistani Government and people will continue to be committed to national stability and development and make greater achievements in all endeavors of national development.

Pakistan is China's good neighbor, good friend, good partner and good brother. For more than 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan, our two countries have respected, understood, trusted and supported each other on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence. We have built up all-weather friendship and conducted all-round cooperation. The Chinese side would like to work together with the Pakistani side and make joint efforts to further consolidate our mutually beneficial cooperation in various areas, enhance the China-Pakistan Strategic Partnership of Cooperation to a new high and contribute to the promotion of the establishment of a harmonious world featuring everlasting peace and common prosperity.

May Pakistan enjoy ever-growing prosperity and its people happiness.

May the Sino-Pak friendship be everlasting from generation to generation.

Hu Jintao

President of the People's Republic of China
