The Communist Party of China sent the following video message to the 23rd Congress:

 

 

“Song Tao Minister, International Department of the Central Committee, Communist Party of China

General Secretary Andros Kyprianou,

Dear comrades,

On the occasion of the 23rd Congress of the Progressive Party of the Working People of Cyprus (AKEL), I wish to convey to you warm congratulations from the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China(CPC).

Ever since its founding, AKEL has persevered in upholding the guiding ideology of Marxism and in exploring the path of development in light of the specific national conditions, as is manifest in the important contribution to the struggle for national independence and to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. Its relentless efforts to develop the national economy, promote fairness and justice and realise national reunification has won trust and support from the Cypriot people.

Today, the world we live in is met with the combined forces of changes and a pandemic both unseen in century with protectionism, unilateralism and hegemonism on the rise, presenting unprecedented challenges to global governance. Progressive forces in all countries need to strengthen strategic communication, solidarity and coordination, so that waves of positive energy can be generated in meeting global challenges.

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. Over the last century, our Party has persevered in combining the basic tenets of Marxism with the specific conditions in China, and led the Chinese people in accomplishing magnificent achievements in revolution, modernisation drive and reform through strenuous efforts.

Going forward in the new era, the entire Chinese people will stride all the more proudly ahead with every confidence, under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, toward the goal of realising the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
The Communist Party of China highly values its traditional friendship with AKEL and greatly appreciates the consistent support AKEL has rendered on issues involving China’s core interests and major concerns. We are willing to work together with AKEL to further strengthen friendly interactions as well as exchanges and cooperation in all areas and to render continued mutual support on issues concerning national sovereignty, security and development interests, with a view to building ever-stronger China-Cyprus friendly relations, improving the wellbeing of our two peoples, furthering world peace and prosperity, and indeed to bringing about a community with a shared future for mankind.

We wish the Congress a complete success!
May AKEL achieve uninterrupted progress in the days to come!”
