Comrade Ambassador:
I am very happy to accept the letter of credence from the Presidium of the
National Assembly of the People’s Republic of Bulgaria which you have presented and I sincerely thank you for your congratulations.
The brotherly friendship between the People’s Republic of China and the
People’s Republic of Bulgaria and their close cooperation in the areas of politics, the economy, and culture have already developed greatly. This has not
only promoted the prosperity and happiness of the two peoples, but has also

strengthened the forces of world peace and democracy headed by the great
Soviet Union.
The brilliant successes which the Bulgarian people, under the leadership of
the Bulgarian Communist Party, have achieved in the cause of socialist construction in the ten years since liberation have stirred up the enthusiasm for
labor of the Chinese people who are moving ahead with socialist construction
and socialist transformation.
Comrade Ambassador, I warmly welcome you as the ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary from the People’s Republic of Bulgaria to the People’s Republic of China. In your work of consolidating and strengthening the
friendship and cooperation between the two countries of China and Bulgaria
you will receive my full support and that of the government of the people’s
Republic of China.
I wish you complete success in your work.
