    BEIJING, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- More world leaders and parliament speakers
    have warmly congratulated China on the complete success of the Beijing
    Olympic Games.

    Vietnamese President Nguyen Minh Triet, who had attended the opening
    ceremony of the Games in Beijing, said in his congratulatory message
    that the Beijing Olympiad, themed "One World, One Dream", was not only
    a global sports event, but a rare opportunity to share and promote
    unity, friendship and peace -- the common values of all humankind.

    The successful hosting of the Games served as an opportunity for the
    whole world to deepen its understanding of China's social customs
    and culture, showcase China's ever growing international status
    and prestige, as well as its capability to host grand activities,
    Triet said.

    Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said the huge success of the
    Beijing Olympics will be carved into people's memories along with the
    image of fearless Chinese rescuing survivors after the devastating
    8.0 magnitude earthquake in China's southwestern Sichuan province.

    During the opening ceremony, China sent the world a strong message of
    "peace," which is not only China's goal, but also the direction that
    the whole world should take, Fukuda said.

    He expressed hope of consolidating and enhancing the strategic and
    mutually beneficial relations between Japan and China, and together
    making a gesture of peace to the world.

    Describing the Beijing Olympics as one of the most splendid sporting
    events, Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, the president of the Maldives, said
    the Games showcased China's recent rapid development, and promoted
    the spirit of friendship, unity and cooperation.

    The king of Saudi Arabia, Abdullah bin Abdul-Aziz, said China achieved
    "unprecedented" success in organizing the Beijing Olympic Games.

    The achievements made at the Games reflected the wishes of all humanity
    for peaceful coexistence, and increased friendship and cooperation,
    he said.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan highlighted the hospitality of the
    Chinese, the well-organized Olympics, the excellent facilities, and the
    opening ceremony coherent with Chinese culture and modern technology,
    all of which had left an indelible impression on the audience.

    Nigerien President Mamadou Tandja congratulated China on the successful
    conclusion of the Beijing Olympics and expressed appreciation of the
    friendship between the two countries.

    President Thomas Boni Yayi of Benin said the people of China were
    earnest and willing to be devoted to the Olympics, and the Chinese
    government had shown great foresight and brilliant leadership, all
    of which contributed to the success of the Beijing Games.

    President Emanuel Mori of the Federated States of Micronesia said
    he had left China with the full understanding of the "One World,
    One Dream" theme and appealed for the building of a better world
    for everyone.

    Argentine Vice President Julio Cobos said the marvelous opening
    ceremony of the Beijing Games had amazed the world. China's perfect
    organization had allowed the athletes to participate in the sports
    gala without worries and compete for good results.

    The speaker of the Lithuanian parliament or Seimas, Ceslovas Jursenas,
    said China had revealed its features, potential and long history to
    the world during the Olympics and wished the country success in its
    future comprehensive development.

    China's historic contribution to the development of the Olympic Games
    and the great achievements of its reform and opening up policy. He
    expressed the belief that the China's development would inspire the
