World leaders united in sending congratulations and best wishes

Leaders of foreign countries and international organizations have sent congratulatory messages to President Xi Jinping to convey their best wishes on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that in the past 70 years, China had made remarkable progress, turning itself into one of the world's most dynamic economies and lifting 850 million people out of poverty, which is the greatest poverty-reduction achievement in history.

China is a major participant in the work of the UN and a pillar for international cooperation and multilateralism, he added, wishing the PRC greater glory in the future.
