BEIJING, April 29 -- A leader of the Communist
Party of China (CPC) called on European Parliament party groups to
play a bigger role in promoting China-EU political mutual trust and
cooperation on Monday.
Li Changchun, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political
Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, said in a meeting with a
delegation from the European People's Party and European Democrats (EPP-ED)
led by chairman Joseph Daul.
EPP-ED is the largest group in the European Parliament.
China and the EU face wide common interests and challenges, and
enjoy great potential of further cooperation. Their joint efforts
would play a crucial role in world peace, stability and development,
Li said.
China always view and handle the relations with EU from a strategic
and long-term perspective and would like to work with the EU to
enrich the comprehensive partnership and raise ties to a higher
level, Li said.
Citing party-to-party exchanges as an important part of China-EU
relations, Li said the CPC would like to conduct exchanges with the
EPP-ED and other groups in the European Parliament.
During the one-hour meeting, Li also briefed the European guests
with facts and figures elaborating Chinese government's great
efforts on promoting economic and social development in Tibet,
preserving its culture and tradition, as well as improving education
and living conditions for Tibetan people.
Due to these efforts, Tibet has witnessed an all-round development
of politics, economy, society and culture. Culture in Tibet has
entered a prosperous period of remarkable development, Li said.
The policy of the central government toward the Dalai Lama has been
consistent and the door of dialogue has remained open, which depends
on whether the Dalai Lama has the sincerity, Li said.
Daul said that frank talks helped him know the reality in China and
particularly in Tibet.
Daul praised China's achievements and suggested the EU and China
further strengthen exchanges and cooperation in order to jointly
handle new challenges faced by all human beings.
Daul also extended condolence to victims and their families in a
fatal train collision on Monday morning in east China's Shandong
Province which left 70 dead and 416 injured.
Wang Jiarui, minister of the International Department of the CPC
Central Committee, met with the delegation on Tuesday morning.
