Prensa Latina:

Good afternoon. Yolaidy Martinez from Prensa Latina, Cuba. I have two questions. The first one is how does the CPC assess its interactions with other communist parties in the world along these years? And the second one is which are the plans to develop those relations in the future? Thank you.

Sun Yeli:

The more friends we make, the better. The CPC has long been expanding its international circle of friends through extensive communication with friendly political parties and political forces across the world on the basis of independence, full equality, mutual respect and non-interference in each other's internal affairs. 

For example, in recent years, we hosted the CPC and World Political Parties Summit and the CPC in Dialogue with World Political Parties High-Level Meeting, which were attended by more than 500 leaders of political parties and political organizations and over 10,000 representatives of various political parties from more than 160 countries. So far, the CPC has maintained contact in various forms with more than 600 political parties and political organizations from more than 170 countries. Developments in political party relations have boosted the development of inter-country relations and improved the mutual understanding and amity between peoples. 

The journalist is from Cuba. I would like to point out that the CPC always values its interactions with Marxist political parties in other countries. Through theoretical exchanges and policy communication, we explore socialist development paths suited to our own national conditions, and search for ways to adapt Marxism to the times and our varied conditions. 

I would like to stress that the CPC does not draw ideological lines when conducting external work. As long as they show a friendly attitude toward China and are willing to maintain contact with us, the CPC is willing to make friends with all sorts of political parties around the world, no matter their ideology. Thank you.
