BEIJING, August 23. /Dunyo IA/.  On the eve of the 35^th Anniversary of the Independence of Uzbekistan, Chinese artist Ma Li extended sincere congratulations and best wishes to the people of Uzbekistan through Dunyo IA:

- Uzbekistan is a country of great transformations, an open economy and a cherished attitude towards its unique culture. Your successes in strengthening statehood, preserving interethnic harmony and developing international cooperation evoke sincere respect.

Cultural and humanitarian ties have always served as a solid bridge between China and Uzbekistan. Joint archaeological expeditions, restoration of ancient monuments and the hosting of such vibrant festivals as “Sharq Taronalari” in Samarkand are not merely events, but a living testament to our mutual respect and interest. We see immense potential for further cooperation in science, education, and art, as the dialogue of cultures is the key to lasting peace and mutual understanding.

I wish your country prosperity, well-being to its people and may this hospitable land always be filled with sunshine and hope, peace and beauty.
