A delegation from the central government led by China's top political adviser Wang Yang arrived Sunday in Nanning, capital of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, to attend festivities marking the 60th anniversary of the region's founding.

The delegation presented the region with souvenirs, including a plaque with an inscription by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.

It reads "Building a magnificent Guangxi, and jointly achieving the dream of rejuvenation."

Wang, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, unveiled the plaque, alongside with the region's Party chief.

Wang met with representatives of armed forces, armed police force and officials of political and legal affairs there.

He also met with retired officials and people of various ethnic groups and from all walks of life, and extended greetings to them on behalf of the central government delegation.
