19th Party congress inspires foreign officials with Chinese experience

The recent 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) has inspired the world with China’s experience, foreign delegates said at a workshop in Beijing.

Nearly 200 foreign officials and academics from 35 countries, including Cuba, Macedonia and Peru, took part in a Chinese Academy of Governance workshop on the congress Tuesday.

Three academicians spoke on CPC governance, a community of shared future for humanity, and the main experiences of China’s economic development.

Marin Triana Zamira Maria, Cuban vice-minister of labor and social security, said Cuba could learn from China, combining the Chinese experience with the characteristics of Cuba to develop Cuban socialism.

Uliana Stici, a Moldovan political adviser, said the Chinese governance model had become much stronger and more attractive to other countries inspired by China.

Nenad Kolev, director-general of the Macedonian Foreign Ministry, shared a similar view, saying that the unique Chinese development model is applicable to other countries, and can assimilate their characteristics. China’s combination of a market economy under the guidance of socialist theory had greatly benefitted the country and the world, he said.

Most of the foreign visitors are also attending other academy seminars in Beijing. Some 8,500 officials from 159 countries have participated in the Chinese Academy of Governance seminars, according to Liu Hongyi, director-general of the academy training center
