Comrade Dasiyn Adilbish, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of

On the occasion of the thirty-fifth anniversary of the victory of the Mongolian
people's revolution, on behalf of the government and people of the People's
Republic of China, we extend warm and sincere congratulations to you and to the
government and people of the People's Republic of Mongolia.

On July 11, 1921, the Mongolian people overthrew the reactionary feudal rule
and attained victory in the people's revolution. In the past thirty-five years, the
Mongolian people have not only consolidated a people's democratic system,¹ but
have also achieved glorious successes in the economic and cultural construction of
their country. These successes bear great significance to the cause of strengthening
the forces for peace, democracy, and socialism and consolidating peace in Asia and
the world. The Chinese people feel extremely elated at the achievements made by
our brothers the Mongolian people.

May the Mongolian people achieve new and even greater successes in their
peaceful construction.



May the friendship between the Chinese and Mongolian peoples be further
consolidated and developed.
(Co-signed as Chairman of PRC with Liu Shaoqi as Chairman of Standing
Committee of NPC and Zhou Enlai as Premier of State Council and Foreign
Minister, dated in Beijing)
