He expressed firm belief that the Chinese people would march forward on the route of harmony and prosperity and play increasingly important role in the world arena under Hu's leadership. On behalf of her party and in her own name, Sonia Gandhi, President of the Indian National Congress party, conveyed "warm greetings and felicitations on the successful completion of the 17th Congress of the Communist Party of China" and on Hu's reelection. She made a retrospection over the history of the two parties' friendly cooperation, saying that "we look forward to strengthening our Party-to-Party relations and to joining hands with the Communist Party of China in consolidating the Strategic and Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Prosperity between our two countries." Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov also offered congratulations on Hu's reelection. He wished good health to Hu and continued prosperity and progress to the Chinese people.
