The dynamic exchanges between the Communist Party of China (CPC) and foreign political parties this year have helped foreigners better understand China and the CPC, a senior Party official said in Beijing Thursday.
With China's rapid development and increasing involvement in international affairs, the international community has paid growing attention to China and the CPC, said Wang Jiarui, head of the International Department Central Committee of CPC.
It is an urgent job to help people of the international community know better about China and the CPC, dispel biases and clear up misunderstanding by enhancing inter-party exchanges, Wang said in an exclusive interview with Xinhua.
"We will further increase the transparency of the CPC's diplomatic activities and open up a window for people in the rest of the world to better understand China and the CPC through the party's external exchanges," Wang said.
This year, he said, the CPC will "conduct further exchanges with foreign political organizations, make friends with them and deepen cooperation with them," so as to make greater contribution to the development of the country.
