On behalf of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, Xi extended warm congratulations and sincere greetings to the Chang’e-6 mission headquarters and all those who participated in the mission in a message of congratulations.
The return capsule of the Chang’e-6 probe, carrying samples from the Moon, landed in the flag-designated area of Siziwang, north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, on Tuesday.
Xi highlighted that for the first time in human history, Chang’e-6 collected samples from the far side of the Moon and returned to Earth, marking another historic achievement in China’s drive to become a space and science and technology powerhouse.
