The 2nd China-Africa Political Parties Theoretical Seminar Attended by Representatives from 15 Political Parties

The 2nd China-Africa Political Parties Theoretical Seminar was held in Chongqing on October 14 and 15. Song Tao, minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech, and vice minister of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee Xu Lvping presided over the ceremony. More than 60 representatives of 15 political parties from South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Congo, etc. participated in the seminar, exchanging their experience of governing a country by political parties. The seminar was a part of “The CPC in Dialogue with the World 2016”. In the opening ceremony, Minister Song Tao made a keynote speech titled “Sino-African Cooperation and Contribution to Global Economic Governance”. In his speech, Song believed that Sino-African political parties should endeavor to explore the ways of governance and development, take a lead in Sino-African development and exchange, and strengthen cooperation between each other. A communiqué was subsequently issued.“This year is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of China-African diplomatic relationship. In the past 60 years, China has been supporting the alliance and improvement of African countries. China has been expecting a greater role of African countries in international and regional affairs so as to promote the establishment of a global economic governing system where the will and interests of the majority of developing countries are refl ected,” Song stressed. Political parties, as he said, play an indispensable role in global economic governance in developing countries and hence the cooperation and exchange between developing countries in this fi eld are highly necessary. China-African political parties, according to him, should take the initiative in exploring the ways of developing, exchanging of experience and promoting the pragmatic cooperation between each other. The CPC hopes to innovate ways of communication, enrich the content of exchange and deepen the communication between China-African political parties through this seminar, he said.
