The upcoming CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-level Meeting is the first major multilateral diplomatic event to be held in China since the conclusion of the 19th National Congress of the CPC.
Guo Yezhou, vice minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, says the meeting comes as a number of foreign political parties have expressed their desire to learn about the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress.
"Senior leaders of the CPC, as well as heads of relevant organizations and departments, will introduce the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress to foreign political party leaders face to face, offering in-depth interpretation on 'Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era.'" Guo yezhou says through such exchanges and communication, the CPC and other political parties from around the world will discuss effective approaches to push forward the building of a community of common destiny for mankind and a better world.
The building of a community of common destiny for mankind was first proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, also the General Secretary of the CPC.
Guo Yezhou adds the dialogue will also serve as a platform for different parties across the world to exchange ideas and learn from one another, thereby improving governing abilities and addressing common challenges.
Leaders of more than 200 political parties and organizations from over 120 countries are expected to attend the dialogue.
In the past, the CPC has already held various exchanges with some 400 political parties and organizations from over 160 countries, in addition to establishing communication mechanisms with major political parties around the world.
"Various parties from different countries, which are attending the upcoming meeting, make up the international 'Friend Circle' of the CPC. Among them are ruling parties, parties not in power, parties that have similar governing principles as the CPC, as well as those with different ideals than the CPC. This is a dialogue among world parties, and it is open and inclusive. "
The CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-level Meeting will be held in Beijing from November 30th to December 3rd.
Xi Jinping is due to deliver a keynote speech at the opening ceremony.
