The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has extended his greetings and felicitations to the Government and people of the People’s Republic of China on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China (October 01, 2014).

In a message to President of the People’s Republic of China, His Excellency Mr. Xi Jinping, President Mukherjee has said, "Your visit to India in September this year was an important landmark in the development of the strategic and cooperative Partnership for peace and prosperity between our two countries. Our discussions during the visit further underscored the global and strategic dimensions of our relations and highlighted the need for constructive and candid dialogue between us at all levels. Our mutual agreement to establish a closer developmental partnership reached during your visit will give a further boost to our economic and people-to-people exchanges, which, I believe, will provide a sound basis for enhancing and deepening our bilateral ties. As two of the most significant emerging economies, deeper engagement between our two countries is in the interest of Asia and the international community.

Please accept, Excellency, my best wishes for your good health and for the continued prosperity and well-being of the people of China.”
