World leaders laud China’s achievements
    2019-10-01  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

ON the eve of the 70th founding anniversary of the People’s Republic of China, leaders around the world hailed its great strides in national development and enormous contributions to global peace and growth.

“I am witness to the tremendous development of China,” said former French Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin in a recent interview with Xinhua. “I saw China becoming proud of herself.”

Raffarin, who first came to China in 1970 and has frequently visited it since, recalled that in the past, he saw families of four to five people, sometimes more, living in one room. “Nowadays, comforts of modern housing are present everywhere,” he said. “You feel a major change — people, especially young people, look confident.”

Thai Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said he first visited China about 40 years ago and found something new every time he traveled to the country afterwards.

China has made great accomplishments in such fields as science and technology, arts and culture, education, medicine and social welfare, he said.

Milo Djukanovic, president of Montenegro, told Xinhua that “China has really shown that it has founded its vision of development on reforms and openness, as well as a flawless analysis of the social circumstances in China itself, and it clearly saw its opportunities, possibilities, needs and wishes.”

“I believe the essence of the Chinese success is reform and opening up, as well as its integration into the global economy. This is why I think that this kind of China’s development is well-founded,” Djukanovic said.

Cambodian Prime Minister Samdech Techo Hun Sen noted that with its land area less than 10 percent of the world’s total, China feeds nearly 20 percent of the world’s population.

“Besides the development of its own country, China has played an important role in maintaining peace and in bringing prosperity to the region and the world,” added the Cambodian leader.

Noting that China has helped Cambodia construct more than 3,000 km of roads throughout the country and eight large-scale crossing bridges, Hun Sen said China’s assistance with Cambodia’s infrastructure construction has helped boost Cambodia’s economy vigorously.

China is willing to help with Africa’s bid for prosperity, said President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo of Equatorial Guinea. “We welcome China’s help.”
