中国国务院侨务办公室主任 潘岳

亲爱的侨胞朋友们：

今天是立春，我代表中国国务院侨务办公室，向海外侨胞和归侨侨眷致以诚挚问候和良好祝愿！

我们不会忘记在中国疫情初起时，海外侨胞的无私支持和慷慨援助，不会忘记疫情在全球蔓延后侨胞以各种方式与祖国守望相助、共克时艰。你们的付出，我们心怀感念。你们的坚强，我们充满敬意。虽然远隔千万里，我们对你们永远有着一份惦念。

历史不断证明，海外侨胞在每一个历史关键时刻，都为家国故土作出了不可磨灭的独特贡献，都为中外交流发挥了不可替代的重要作用。

凛冬将去，春山在望。我们在家乡的这一头给6000万海外游子寄一份平安，道一声珍重。相隔千万里，只待重逢时！提前给大家拜年了。

Pan Yue
