The secret of the success of the Communist Party of China is to always maintain flesh and blood ties with the people, take the people's aspiration for a better life as the goal of struggle, and take the people's support and support as the most reliable source of strength
The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is being held. This conference is not only of great significance to China's future development, but also will have an important impact on the world.
With more than 96 million members, the Communist Party of China is the largest Marxist ruling party in the world. Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, China has made remarkable development achievements, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, becoming rich to becoming strong.
As socialism with Chinese characteristics enters a new era, China is playing a more important role in promoting world economic development. China is the world's second largest economy, the largest industrial country, the largest trade country in goods, and the second largest consumer market. Over the years, its average contribution to world economic growth has exceeded 30%. With a large amount of resources invested in scientific and technological innovation, China is gradually developing from a "world factory" to a manufacturing power.
I have visited China many times and am deeply impressed by the rapid and high-quality development of China's economy and society. The secret of the success of the Communist Party of China is to always maintain flesh and blood ties with the people, take the people's aspiration for a better life as the goal of struggle, and take the people's support and support as the most reliable source of strength. It is the fine tradition of the Communist Party of China and the great advantage of the Communist Party of China to insist on guiding practice with the theoretical achievements of advancing with the times.
The Communist Party of China has always been committed to contributing to the peace and development of mankind, leading China to become an important force in safeguarding world peace and promoting common development. China firmly pursues an independent foreign policy of peace, resolutely opposes hegemonism and power politics in all forms, adheres to developing friendly cooperation with other countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, and promotes the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. China firmly upholds multilateralism, adheres to the equality of large and small countries, supports trade liberalization, and promotes exchanges and mutual learning among different civilizations. Cooperation between China and other countries is conducive to world peace, stability and prosperity.
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Georgia and China. Georgia attaches great importance to its relations with China. In recent years, Georgia China relations and cooperation in various fields have flourished. Economic and trade cooperation between the two countries continued to deepen, and China's investment in Georgia increased significantly. Many Chinese enterprises have carried out cooperation in infrastructure, energy, finance and other fields in Georgia. China has repeatedly provided medical supplies to Georgia for fighting COVID-19, and is one of the first countries to provide assistance to Georgia for COVID-19 vaccine.
I have worked in the field of education for many years and served as the president of Tbilisi Open University, so I pay special attention to the educational cooperation between the two countries. In 2010, Tbilisi Free University opened the first Confucius Institute in Georgia. After graduation, students who master Chinese actively participate in the political, business and educational circles and become witnesses, participants and promoters of Georgia China friendly cooperation. Tbilisi Open University has established cooperative relations with many Chinese universities and research institutions, and has also opened Confucius Institutes. Chinese teachers, together with Georgian teachers, provide Chinese language teaching for students in this school and other schools.
Looking forward to the future, we should implement the consensus reached by the leaders of Georgia and China, continue the traditional friendship and work together for common progress. It is believed that Georgia China friendly relations will be further deepened and constantly benefit the two countries and peoples.
