The People's Republic of China
[Your Excellency,]
On behalf of the people of the Republic of Singapore, I would like to convey our warmest wishes to you and the people of China on the occasion of the 64th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
China has undergone dramatic transformation over the past decades. It is now the second largest economy in the world and a key driver of the global economy. It has also become a major player on the international stage. I am confident that under your wise leadership, China will continue to prosper, grow and realise the Chinese Dream.
Singapore and China share a warm friendship that is underpinned by frequent high-level exchanges, robust economic cooperation and close people-to-people links. I am confident that we will leverage on this positive momentum and take our relations to greater heights.
I wish you continued good health and success in your endeavours, and peace and prosperity for the people of China.
[Yours sincerely,]
TONY TAN KENG YAM
