“On the occasion of the 41st anniversary of the independence of Brunei Darussalam, I am honoured to convey cordial greetings and congratulations from President of China Xi Jinping to His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam. Meanwhile, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Brunei Darussalam and in my own name, I would like to extend our warmest congratulations to His Majesty and the people of Brunei.
“Under the wise leadership of His Majesty, Brunei has been resolutely following the path of independence and taking firm steps to advance economic diversification, achieving new milestones in national development and playing a significant role in regional and international affairs.
“In recent years, China-Brunei relations have been moving forward on a high level, featuring deepened political mutual trust, fruitful practical cooperation, robust people-to-people exchanges, and close coordination in international and regional affairs. Recently, His Majesty paid a successful state visit to China, during which the two heads of state agreed to work together towards a China-Brunei community with a shared future, opening a new chapter for bilateral relations.
“China has always attached great importance to China-Brunei relations and regarded Brunei as an important partner of neighbouring countries. We stand ready to work with Brunei to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, further expand and deepen practical cooperation, and jointly forge a brighter future for bilateral relations, to create more benefits for our two countries and peoples.
“May His Majesty enjoy good health and every success! May Brunei enjoy greater prosperity and its people happiness and well-being!”
