Experts on Thursday praised the book of Chinese President Xi Jinping's discourses on human rights and the important contribution of Chinese wisdom to global human rights governance at a reader's colloquium in Madrid, Spain.
The reader's colloquium on "Xi Jinping: On Respecting and Protecting Human Rights" brought together more than 80 participants from the political, economic and cultural sectors, including Chinese and Spanish experts, scholars and heads of social organizations.
Marta Montoro, vice president and director general of the Catedra China Foundation in Spain, said the book breaks many prejudices and misunderstandings about human rights issues in China from the outside world and is an important window for understanding China's view on human rights.
"Important figures like President Xi Jinping have always prioritized the protection of human rights, which sounds the alarm for all politicians and intellectuals and makes them understand that there can be no future in today's world if human rights are not fully respected," said Jose Luis Centella, President of Spain's Communist Party.
"As I mentioned in my speech, I think this book is very important for the international world to have a further understanding of China, including China's significant developments at all levels, not only in the economic aspect, but also in the social and human rights aspects," said Carlos Bielsa Martin, spokesperson for the Center for Studies and Work on the New Silk Road Association.
