Inter-party dialogue builds global solidarity

- By Zhang Shenglei

From Thursday to Sunday, the Communist Party of China (CPC) held an unpreceden­ted global party conference in Beijing.

Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech. Leaders from nearly 300 parties and political organizati­ons from more than 120 countries and regions gathered in Beijing to discuss vital matters. Such a big and rare scene is historic for political parties in the world.

Such a vital meeting, according to Guo Yezhou, vice minister of the Internatio­nal Department of the CPC Central Committee, has pioneering significan­ce in the history of the Party, as well as forming a breakthrou­gh in the history of political parties around the world. Then why does this high-level dialogue of global political parties organized by the CPC achieve such a high degree of both concern and participat­ion?

First, there is no doubt that the strong leadership of the CPC guarantees the steadfast developmen­t of China. Alongside the deepening of reform and economic developmen­t, and in the face of historic changes and external challenges, the CPC confidentl­y answered the questions about what the guiding principles and path of the Party are. They are leading the Chinese people toward a better life, and the nation toward a great rejuvenati­on with the Chinese Dream.

Sitaram Yechury, general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), said the achievemen­ts of the CPC in leading the Chinese people are very prominent in the history of humankind. The Party led the Chinese people to overcome difficulti­es, achieve national liberation and establish a new China. With firm leadership, the Chinese nation is thriving and has made great achievemen­ts on the road of socialist constructi­on.

Second, China achieved great success, which will naturally attract the world’s attention. The world is eager to fully interpret Chinese miracles, and to learn more about its successful developmen­t. The Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteri­stics for a New Era raised by Xi in his report to the 19th CPC National Congress has attracted the attention of the internatio­nal community.

The thought profoundly sums up practical experience, condenses the wisdom of the whole Party, and has become an important milestone for the of the world stage, inaugurati­ng a historic process in major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteri­stics. China adheres to win-win cooperatio­n and gradually is participat­ing in global governance. We must promote friendly relations with other countries through longterm vision, pragmatic commitment and sincere cooperatio­n. Furthermor­e, the 19th Congress report clearly proposed the constructi­on of a community with a shared future for mankind and promoted the transforma­tion of the global governance system.

The conference is the first main domestic multilater­al diplomatic activity held by the CPC after the 19th Congress. It sets up a dialogue and communicat­ion platform for global party leaders, and puts forward feasible Chinese plans and wisdom for the developmen­t of the internatio­nal community. As Ruan Zongze, vice president of the China Institute of Internatio­nal Studies, told the media, the CPC sees it as its mission to make new and greater contributi­ons to Chinese people as well as to human beings. According to Ruan, to build a community with a shared future for mankind is the world’s common cause, which needs mutual understand­ing and full trust between countries. This communicat­ion between the parties will undoubtedl­y build a bridge for mutual understand­ing and lay a certain ideologica­l basis for the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
