On the 78th anniversary of South Korea's government establishment, Chinese President Xi Jinping extended his congratulations to President Lee Jae Myung, according to Xinhua News Agency. In his message, Xi emphasized the importance of strengthening bilateral relations between the two nations, describing them as "important neighbors and partners."
The congratulatory note came as South Korea observed Liberation Day on August 15, marking the end of Japan's colonial rule and the subsequent formation of the Republic of Korea's government three years later.
Over the past 34 years since diplomatic relations were established, Xi noted that the two countries have achieved mutual success and common development through joint efforts. He highlighted fruitful outcomes in various fields of exchange and cooperation between the two nations. Xi expressed hope that the strategic guidance provided by their recent reciprocal visits in late 2025 and earlier this year would continue to guide bilateral ties, aiming to contribute to peace and development in the region and beyond.
