Dear Mr. President,

On the occasion of the 209th anniversary of the Independence of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela and the 46th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between China and Venezuela, I wish to express, on behalf of the Chinese Government and people, and on my own behalf, my sincere congratulations and best wishes to you, and through your good offices, extend them to the Venezuelan Government and people.

China and Venezuela are good friends and partners in solidarity, cooperation and mutual gain. In the face of the sudden COVID-19 outbreak, our countries, united in the anti-epidemic fight, have made our greatest efforts to protect the life and health of the people, thus writhing new chapters in the Chinese-Venezuela friendship. I thank Venezuela for its understanding and support in issues concerning the fundamental interests and concerns of China. Whatever happens in the international scenario, China will continue supporting the Venezuelan Government and people in their efforts to defend their sovereignty, preserve social stability, and improve the economy and well-being of the population.

By granting a great deal of importance to the development of the Venezuela-China ties, I am willing to keep on working together with you to take the China-Venezuela Comprehensive Strategic Association to new levels for the benefit of our countries and peoples.

I express my best wishes for your health and personal happiness.

Xi Jinping

President of the People’s Republic of China
