Greetings From CP Pakistan

PLEASE accept our heartiest greetings on the 17th congress of your party. Due to certain unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to participate in this very important event.

Our two countries have a common heritage and the people on the two sides of the border share each other’s sentiments. We are facing the same types of problems, i.e. social, economical and political backwardness. Religious fundamentalism is our common enemy. It will be appropriate to assure that our party will always be by your side in the struggle against the common enemies of the two countries.

Your congress is being held at a very critical juncture of history. On the one hand international imperialism has decided to impose its will on the world by all means, and on the other hand progressive forces are regaining their confidence and are realigning themselves. You are holding this congress at a time when the imperialist forces, in the garb of a coalition against terrorism, are present in the region. They have killed thousands of innocent citizens of Afghanistan to oust the same obscurantist regime of Taliban they themselves had imposed on the people of Afghanistan to promote fundamentalism in the region. It will not be wrong to imagine that the world is about to enter into a new slavery if imperialism succeeds in imposing its policies through international financial institutions, WTO and by use of force. In this grave situation it is the duty of progressive forces to put a united resistance against this onslaught. We are sure your 17th congress will address the whole situation and will be able to evolve a suitable strategy. We will like to avail this opportunity to renew our old proposal to form a coordinating committee to cope with the situation in a better way.

I, once again on behalf of the Central Committee of CPP and my own behalf, congratulate you on your 17th congress.
