Telegram Congratulating Bierut on His 60th Birthday
(April 16, 1952)
Comrade Bierut, President of the Republic of Poland:
On the occasion of your sixtieth birthday, please accept warm congratulations from the Chinese people, the government of the People's Republic of China, and me personally. Under your leadership, the Polish people have built an increasingly prosperous, free, and happy country from the ruins ravaged by the Nazi bandits. The achievements of the Polish people in building a socialist society have forcefully demonstrated the shameful defeat of the aggressors and revealed the invincible great strength of the camp of peace and democracy.
I wish you still greater successes in the cause of socialist construction and in the struggle for world peace, and wish you good health and a long life.
