Nation's progress impresses visitors

Delegates of parties from other countries who visited an exhibition in Beijing on Friday said they were amazed by China's technological improvements and they expect full exchanges and a closer relationship with the Communist Party of China.

More than 200 of the delegates arrived at the Beijing Exhibition Center for an exhibition on China's outstanding achievements over the past five years as part of the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting.

The meeting, organized by the International Department of the Central Committee of the CPC, is being held through Sunday.

Khawla Ben Aicha, a member of the Tunisian Assembly of People's Representatives, told China Daily that everything at the exhibition was really impressive because "we saw what China did in only five years". She said technological improvements, in her eyes, are the biggest achievements of China in the past half-decade.

Technology is the most important thing in today's world because it represents the future and China is "powerful" and has this "future" in its hands, she said.

Cristian Priboi, a delegate of the Social Democratic Party of Romania, said he was impressed by the warmth with which they were greeted and he was glad to be present.

"I'm also impressed by China's achievements and that you know how to communicate your achievements," he said, adding that he was particularly fascinated by Jiaolong, a manned submersible developed by China, which set a record by diving to a depth of more than 7,000 meters.

Javier Miranda, president of the Frente Amplio in Uruguay, said he and his colleagues felt honored to be invited to attend the meeting, which he thinks is of great importance to people all over the world.

He said he hopes that the meeting's outcome will be fully discussed to benefit countries, parties and people.

Khawla Ben Aicha said she hopes to improve the relationship between Tunisia and China, including the relationship between political parties in Tunisia and the Communist Party of China. "The workers' political party should be in the service of citizens and today in a globalized world, we should have the same stakes and the same aims and we have to work together for a better world and better life for humanity," she said.

Priboi, from Romania, said he expects to share ideas and learn from what China has done in good governance.
