Foreign party leaders praise China for practicing concept of community with shared future in anti-epidemic cooperation

Foreign political leaders have said they appreciate the Communist Party of China (CPC) for timely sharing its experience in combating COVID-19 with all parties and proactively promoting international cooperation in anti-epidemic efforts.

In messages sent to the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, they said such moves have vividly embodied the idea of a community with a shared future for mankind.

Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation Gennady Zyuganov said he is glad to see the achievements of the Chinese people in the battle against the epidemic.

China has also proactively provided assistance to other nations to combat the epidemic, embodying the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind through concrete actions and demonstrating the CPC's international mindedness, Zyuganov said.

As the global fight against the pandemic continues, China's achievements have injected confidence into the world, he said.

Chandra Prakash Mainali, general secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), said that since COVID-19 is a common enemy for humankind, countries must work together to defeat it instead of developing biases or blaming others, adding that politicizing the coronavirus is flatly wrong.

Noting that under the leadership of Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, China is leading in building a community of common health for mankind, Mainali called on the government and people of all countries to support and participate in China's proposal.

Bhokin Bhalakula, vice president of the strategic committee of Thailand's Pheu Thai Party, said that people around the world will realize that building a community with a shared future for mankind is an essential prerequisite for achieving peace, harmony and prosperity.

Bhokin, also former Thai deputy prime minister, voiced resolute opposition to the politicization of public health issues, discrimination against any country, region or race, and disruption of international cooperation in epidemic response.

Joseph Kabila Kabange, founder of the People's Party for Reconstruction and Democracy and former president of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, said the CPC has always put people's life and health first, and has actively worked with the international community to promote the health and well-being of all humankind.

The notion of a community with a shared future for mankind, advocated by Xi Jinping, general secretary of the CPC Central Committee, is the best way for all countries to jointly build a prosperous, stable and united homeland, he added.

Bashiru Ally, secretary general of Tanzania's ruling party Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM), said that as COVID-19 cases emerge in Tanzania, the CPC sent in timely messages to introduce its experience, which will effectively help the CCM and the government to defeat the epidemic.

Tanzania is willing to make concerted efforts with the CPC to tide over the difficulties, Bashiru added.

Antonio Ortega, secretary general of Costa Rica's Broad Front Party, expressed his deep gratitude for China's generous assistance to Costa Rica in the fight against COVID-19, which he said fully demonstrates the friendship and solidarity between the two peoples.

Ortega said his party firmly opposes the doubt over China's anti-epidemic achievements by some people with ulterior motives.

Rolf Mutzenich, chairman of the Social Democratic Party parliamentary group in the German federal parliament Bundestag, said the anti-epidemic experience and practices shared by the CPC are truly beneficial.

Noting the coronavirus pandemic has affected the whole world, Mutzenich said all countries must help each other and work more closely together.

In addition, Myanmar's Union Betterment Party Chairman U Shwe Mann, Secretary General of Kenya's ruling Jubilee party Raphael Tuju, President of Lebanese Future Movement party Saad Hariri, and Belarusian Presidential Administration chief Igor Sergeyenko, among other political figures, have also sent messages speaking highly of China's progress in the anti-virus fight, expecting China to play a bigger role in international cooperation to combat the pandemic.
