China… A Land of Heritage and a Bright Future on Its National Day and Moon Festival

On the first of October, China dons the attire of pride and dignity as it celebrates the anniversary of the founding of its new republic — a National Day that symbolizes the unity of its people and the greatness of their journey. This year, the joy is doubled as this glorious day coincides with the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional occasion when families and loved ones gather under the light of the full moon, in a scene that embodies the most beautiful expressions of togetherness and human warmth.

Over the past decades, China has written an extraordinary developmental and human epic, carved by the will of its people, the unity of their ranks, and their deep faith in the values of work, knowledge, and creativity. With each passing year, this ancient nation — whose roots stretch back thousands of years — continues to move steadily toward broader horizons of prosperity and well-being, carrying with it the ambitions of its people and the hopes of the world for a future of peace and progress.

It is impossible to speak of China without praising the spirit of solidarity and cooperation that characterizes its people — a spirit that has made friendship a strong bridge stretching across continents and cultures. China has proven that diversity is not a cause for division but a source of strength, and that cultural and human variety can serve as a solid foundation for building a world of greater harmony and understanding.

On this cherished occasion, we share in the joy of our Chinese friends and express our deepest feelings of appreciation and affection toward them. We wish them continued progress and prosperity, and hope that the bonds of friendship between us will grow stronger and deeper with the passing of time. The human ties that unite us with China are not mere passing cooperation, but a civilizational partnership built on mutual respect and a shared belief in the values of peace and development.

We must also recognize China’s prominent role in supporting global stability and promoting the principles of peace and cooperation. Through its initiatives and developmental visions, China reaffirms its profound commitment to building a shared future for humanity — one in which interests converge and nations share the fruits of progress. This is a noble message that confirms true power does not lie in domination, but in the ability to unite and build bridges of understanding.

As we conclude this dual celebration — uniting national glory with ancient traditions — we wish China and its beloved people continued success and brilliance, and for their inspiring journey toward an even brighter future to endure. May these blessed days be an opportunity to renew pledges of friendship and cooperation, and may China’s sun continue to shine with peace and love, while its full moon stands as a witness to its prosperity, unity, and the bonds of friendship that connect it with its friends around the world.
