Dear Comrades!
Permit us on behalf of the entire Chinese people to express heartfelt gratitude to you for your friendly congratulations on the fifth anniversary of the
Chinese People’s Republic.
The successes of our country’s peoples during the last five years in social
reforms, restoration of the national economy, socialist construction, and socialist reconstruction are inseparable from the sincere and unselfish aid of the
great Soviet people, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, and the Soviet
government.
We ask you to convey our most sincere gratitude to all the Soviet people.
Long live the indestructible brotherly friendship of the peoples of China
and the Soviet Union!
