The Bahamas has extended warm wishes to the people of China on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, during a reception Wednesday night.

The gesture was an indication of the diplomatic relations shared between both countries established 12 years ago.

Guests assembled in at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Resort, Cable Beach were invited by the Governor-General, His Excellency Arthur Hanna, to raise their glasses and toast to “the milestone achieved” by the country with the world’s largest population.

Similar gestures were carried out by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Hon Brent Symonette, and His Excellency Hu Dingxian, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to The Bahamas.

“Our two countries are currently writing a common page in our histories, rich in encounters across wide oceans, purposeful in joint efforts to meet national, regional and international objectives,” Mr. Symonette said.

China’s history is replete with epic moments reflecting international developments and encounters with other countries, he observed.

“Over the past 60 years, China has been moving rapidly to modernize itself, both internally and in its relations with nation friends throughout the world,” said Mr Symonette.
“Among the many recent success have been the development of the world’s third largest economy, and the holding last year of the biggest and most fabulous Olympic Games ever,”

Mr. Symonette said.

He said he was sure that among China’s upcoming successes will be the holding of the World Exposition in Shanghai in 2010.
