Multiple international observers said they appreciate the positive role that the Communist Party of China (CPC) has been playing in promoting global governance and in advancing the development of China.
They made the remarks as the CPC marked its 105th anniversary on Wednesday.
"Policies proposed by President Xi and the CPC are very important in areas such as international cooperation, because the policies give voice to countries that previously had no say and they help include different civilizations into the Global Civilization Initiative. The policies clearly advocate that different civilizations should not stand in opposition against each other and that they should cooperate with each other in a harmonious manner," said Marta Montoro, vvice-president and general director of Spain-based Catedra China Foundation.
"You can see the growth puts people at the center. The growth puts the practical programs and policies that are implementable, that are also shared innovation. And that's what we are inspired that when we tap on the governance, when we tap on innovation, when we tap on system, we can and we are capable of building a capable state," said Mmapaseka Steve Letsike, South Africa's Deputy Minister in the Presidency for Women, Youth and Persons with Disabilities.
"I have studied President Xi Jinping's remarks. I believe his development philosophy is correct. Countries and peoples across the world should work together, because only through strengthened cooperation can we achieve common development. If we wish to succeed, we must share the fruits of development, help those countries with relatively limited means to promote development, and uphold solidarity and mutual assistance. I believe China has been working towards this goal," said Ali Ruckert, former president of Luxembourg Communist Party.
Some observers said China's success in pursuing modernization offers developing countries an option to advance their development.
"On the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to the CPC. Under the leadership of the CPC and the Chinese government, China has achieved remarkable success in pursuing modernization. China's current policies, regarding both domestic governance and the foreign affairs, demonstrate the advantages of the CPC under President Xi Jinping's leadership, as well as its unwavering commitment to improving the people's well-being," said Akaradej Wongpitakroj, a member of parliament in Thailand.
"This is a political party that has addressed historical challenges and it is an exceptional party. Its experience has transcended China and Asia and has become a shared treasure of the humanity. One thing that deserves particular attention is that Chinese modernization has broken the outdated stereotype that modernization necessarily equates to Westernization. China has proven to the world that a country can become a modern, strong country while upholding its own civilization and the socialist development path. This is of great importance to many countries in the world, especially those in the Global South," said Ivan Ivanovich Melnikov, first deputy chairman of the Russian State Duma.
