At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the League of Soviet Socialist Republics was first willing to establish diplomatic relations with China, and the Chinese people were extremely pleased with this. The ** people of the People's Republic of China warmly welcome the establishment of friendly diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and firmly believe that the establishment and consolidation of such diplomatic relations will not only be conducive to the close cooperation between the two countries, but also conducive to world peace and security. For this reason, I hereby appoint Wang Jiaxiang as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to your country, and ask him to present his credentials to your President in person, hoping to extend his meeting, give him his trust, and pay tribute.

Your chairman bows to Kangtai!

Your country is prosperous, and your people are prosperous!
