Reply on the Occasion of the Presentation of Credentials
(June 9, 1952)
Mr. Ambassador:
It gives me great pleasure to accept the credentials of Your Excellency as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland, and I am grateful for Your Excellency’s warm congratulations.
Over the past two years, the friendly relations between China and Poland have made remarkable progress in political, economic, and cultural fields. The Chinese people deeply admire the Polish people’s inspiring endeavor, under the leadership of President Bolesław Bierut, to rebuild their homeland and advance toward socialism, and we sincerely rejoice in your outstanding achievements. I am firmly convinced that closer cooperation between our two peoples will not only strengthen the friendship between our countries but also contribute to the common cause of world peace.
I warmly welcome Your Excellency to your post as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland to the People’s Republic of China, and I stand ready to render every possible assistance in your efforts to consolidate and develop the friendship between our two peoples.
May your country prosper and its people thrive, and may your Head of State enjoy good health.
