CPC a political party in ceaseless pursuit of progress: French politician

The CPC is a political party in ceaseless pursuit of progress in the eyes of Laurent. He said the CPC always seeks truth from facts and advances with the times, and has explored a development path that matches China’s national conditions.

“The CPC has led the Chinese people to realize the first centenary goal and is now advancing towards the second centenary goal, bringing China to a new phase of development,” Laurent noted, adding that the Chinese political party always recognizes the historic juncture and development stage that China is in and constantly adjusts its plans and policies to lead China to steady development.

The CPC not only seeks its own development, but also cares about the future of humanity with a global vision, the French politician said.

“Currently, countries are facing many global issues, and we are told by more and more facts that no country is an isolated island and all countries’ interests are closely connected. We should join hands to cope with global challenges,” he told People’s Daily, adding that the vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, offers a solution to tackling global challenges.

He believes that the vision mirrors China’s global perspective and major country responsibility, which integrate the country’s own development with that of the rest of the world.

“The French Communist Party actively supports European Union member states in joining the Belt and Road Initiative,” Laurent said, adding that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a grand initiative that is conducive to enhancing communication among countries and regions along its route.

Relevant parties need to hold candid and in-depth dialogues under the BRI framework, to which the French Communist Party is willing to make contributions, Laurent noted.

He told People’s Daily that the 20th National Congress of the CPC was a significant meeting for the development of both China and the world.

“As the world is facing complicated situations and uncertainties, we believe the 20th National Congress of the CPC would not only lead China to new achievements, but also contribute to world peace and development. It is hoped that China will continue playing an important role in making the future of mankind better and more united,” Laurent remarked.
