In a speech before the diplomats, the head of State greeted the governments and peoples of each representative and expressed readiness to expand mutually beneficial relations on the basis of equality and shared gains.

Xi also expressed optimism about the ambassadors’ role in strengthening the collaborative bonds and building a communication bridge in bilateral relations.

“This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China,” he stressed, adding that China is making progress in building a strong and prosperous country as well as in the national rejuvenation in all aspects through modernization.

In his opinion, this means a larger market and unprecedented development opportunities for the world.
