China Daily:
In recent years, the International Department of the CPC Central Committee has organized a number of global high-level party meetings and also a wide range of regional party exchanges and bilateral party dialogues. I would like to ask what achievements the CPC has made in party diplomacy, and what will you do next to further these efforts? Thank you.
Guo Yezhou:
Thank you for your questions. As you have observed, entering the new era, the CPC is actively engaged in foreign exchanges, emphasizing the crucial role of political parties, particularly ruling parties, in both national political life and international relations. This demonstrates that political parties are indispensable in advancing human civilization and progress, as well as in constructing a global community of shared future.
We are committed to leading the way and gathering party strength for building a better world. General Secretary Xi Jinping has convened and participated in various global party meetings, including the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting. He has engaged in extensive discussions with leaders of political parties from other countries and made sincere appeals for their participation in the construction of a global community of shared future. These efforts have ignited a sense of mission and responsibility among political parties of all kinds in different countries, inspiring them to collaborate in the pursuit of a better world.
We are committed to forging broader and closer friendships and harnessing the strength of political parties to create a new pattern of international exchanges. While deepening our relations with political parties in neighboring and developing countries, we consistently advance institutionalized exchanges with political parties in developed countries in a pragmatic manner. We also engage in innovative exchanges and cooperation among political parties within existing regional and international frameworks, actively promoting bilateral and multilateral political party activities at all levels. In doing so, the CPC's "circle of friends" has expanded. Foreign political party leaders and public figures from all sectors of society have, through various means, expressed a shared aspiration to advance the progress of human civilization and create a global community of shared future.
We are committed to deepening practical cooperation and harnessing the strength of political parties to promote global development and prosperity. Through exchanges and cooperation between political parties, we consistently advance practical collaboration in areas such as pandemic prevention and control, economic recovery, poverty reduction, food security, green development, and the digital economy. Additionally, we establish mechanisms for extensive consultations among political parties with BRI countries, promote exchanges between political parties, and create dialogue platforms between business communities across countries to achieve common prosperity.
We are committed to exchanging thoughts and ideas, pooling the strength of political parties to promote mutual learning and exchanges among civilizations. In this process, we actively respond to the expectations of political parties in different countries and promote both "welcoming in" and "going global" initiatives. We introduce Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era comprehensively and systematically, share experiences in party and state governance, and learn from the beneficial achievements of human political civilization, in order to jointly improve leadership and governance capabilities. We are committed to promoting cultural and people-to-people exchanges organized by social groups under the leadership and influence of political parties, so as to achieve high-level development of people-to-people connectivity under the BRI.
On our new journey to build a stronger nation and realize the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, we will collaborate with political parties from all countries worldwide to further enhance inter-party exchanges and mutual learning. Together, we aspire to become the guiding leaders in national development, pioneers in forging new paths toward modernization, and advocates and practitioners of the vision of a global community of shared future. Thank you!
