Xi attends grand gathering to celebrate Xizang autonomous region's 60th founding anniversary


Wang then presented a plaque bearing Xi's inscription, "Jointly building a community for the Chinese nation, writing a new chapter for a beautiful Xizang," as a congratulatory gift.
The founding of Xizang autonomous region in September 1965 marked an epoch-making event, Wang noted. Over the past six decades, Xizang has made significant strides in economic and social development, fully demonstrating the strong leadership of the CPC and the clear political strength of China's socialist system.
He emphasized that since the 18th CPC National Congress in 2012, Xizang has entered its best period of development and made the most substantial progress, with people of all ethnic groups benefiting more than ever before.
Wang called for renewed efforts to foster a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation and advance the four main tasks for governing Xizang: ensuring stability, facilitating development, protecting eco-environment, and strengthening frontiers.
The ceremony concluded with a vibrant mass parade in an auspicious and festive atmosphere. Xi and other leaders waved to the crowds.
Amid the passionate melody of "Ode to the Motherland," doves soared into the sky, colorful balloons floated upwards, and thunderous applause and cheers erupted, marking the successful conclusion of the celebrations.
