The CPC Central Committee and the State Council sent a congratulatory message on Sunday to the people who worked on the AG600's maiden flight.
It came hours after AG600, China's first self-developed amphibious aircraft, completed its maiden flight in Zhuhai, south China's Guangdong Province, marking a major milestone in the country's amphibious aircraft development.
In the message, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council congratulated all those engaged in the mission, including those from the Ministry of Industry and Information, the Civil Aviation Administration of China and the Aviation Industry Corporation of China.
The maiden flight was a major breakthrough in developing special-purpose aircraft following the maiden flight of the large C919 passenger jet in May, the message said.
