A toast to the retired old leaders.

Clouds spit at Haishu, and Hong Zhong sings the Spring Festival. Spring Festival and Eid al-Adha are coming one after another. On the occasion of reunification and Vientiane renewal, we are gathered here to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and create a better future together. On behalf of the prefectural party committee and the local people's government, I would like to take this opportunity to extend my festive congratulations and cordial greetings to the old leaders and veteran comrades present here and, through you, to the vast number of retired veteran comrades in a certain place! I wish you all a happy New Year, a long and healthy life and a happy family!

The past year has been a year in which remarkable achievements have been made in various construction undertakings in a certain place. These achievements can not be achieved without the full support and active participation of the vast number of veteran cadres and veteran comrades. The vast number of veteran cadres and veteran comrades have made great contributions to the rapid economic development and overall social progress in ethnic autonomous areas. A good atmosphere of "always respecting the elderly, always thinking about respecting the elderly and always doing things to respect the elderly" has gradually formed throughout the country. The vast number of veteran cadres and veteran comrades have achieved a sense of security, medical care and happiness, and enjoyed the fruits of reform and development.

Climbing new goals and creating new achievements require the care and support of veteran cadres as always. In the future work, we sincerely hope that all veteran cadres and veteran comrades can continue to give full play to their own advantages, keep pace with the times, blaze new trails, and jointly create a happy life and a bright future!
