Message of Congratulation from Zhu Rongji,
Premier of the Sate Council of the People's Republic of China

As the "2002¡¤China Tibetan Culture Week" is to be held in Belgium and Canada, I would like to extend my warm congratulations.
The excellent traditional culture of the Chinese Tibetan people is a bright pearl of the treasure-house of the Chinese culture and the world's culture and has its unique charm and splendid style. The activities of China Tibetan Culture Week are designed to vividly tell stories about Tibet to the Belgian and Canadian peoples and display a culture of the Chinese ethnic group which is full of vitality and continues to make progress. The activities of China Tibetan Culture Week are a great event in the cultural exchanges between China and Belgium and between China and Canada. They will help the Belgian and Canadian peoples to acquire a better understanding of China's Tibet and will further promote the friendship between the Chinese and Belgian peoples and between the Chinese and Canadian peoples.
I wish the "2002¡¤China Tibetan Culture Week" a complete success.

Zhu Rongji
Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China
