China and the United Kingdom should leverage party-to-party exchanges to enhance the quality and efficiency of bilateral ties and advance their comprehensive strategic partnership to ensure its long-term, stable and sound development, a senior Chinese official said on Tuesday.
Liu Haixing, minister of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, made the remarks at the 14th China-UK Senior Leadership Forum in Yangzhou, Jiangsu province, which brought together over 60 representatives from both countries.
The CPC is willing to strengthen exchanges and dialogue with major UK political parties, including the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, as well as with people across various sectors of society, Liu said.
Through constructive communication, the two sides can transcend ideological differences and enhance mutual understanding, he said.
He added that China is willing to work with the UK side to fully utilize the unique role of party-to-party exchanges and promote practical cooperation at all levels and across various sectors.
