Your Highness,
On the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the independence of the Independent State of Samoa, I would like to, on behalf of the Chinese Government and people, and in my own name, express sincere congratulations and best wishes to Your Highness and to friendly Samoan people.
China and Samoa are comprehensive strategic partner with mutual respect and common development. Over the past 47 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, our two countries have achieved fruitful results in exchanges and cooperation across the board, which have brought tangible benefits to the two peoples. China and Samoa have joined hands to defeat the COVID-19 epidemic and safeguarded the life of the two countries, having achieved positive results. Attaching great importance to the development of China-Samoa relations, I stand ready to work with you to further elevate our bilateral relations to new highs and advance our people’s wellbeing.
May the Independent State of Samoa enjoy prosperity and her people happiness.
Xi Jinping
President of the People’s Republic of China
