Dear President Tong:

On behalf of the entire MIT community, I extend our warmest congratulations on the occasion of the Hong Kong PolyTechnic University's 75th Anniversary.

We are very proud to celebrate this milestone with you, for MIT shares PolyU's reverence for hands-on problem solving and application-oriented research. In the future, this ethos will be increasingly important for addressing the world's greatest challenges, and PolyU has prepared generations of leaders ready to answer this charge.

Congratulations, once again, on PolyU's many achievements - both past and those that are surely yet to come.

Sincerely,
