"We share views similar to the CPC's in this regard," Al-Hadid said, noting that all other countries including Syria can learn from China's successful experience of promoting development while protecting the environment and conserving biodiversity and the ecology.

Al-Hadid is one of more than 150 representatives of political parties from about 30 countries who visited Qinghai recently. The representatives got a chance to experience firsthand the province's achievements in fields such as clean energy, rural revitalization and biodiversity conservation at high altitude.

Hu Zhaoming, a spokesman for the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, said that with the CPC's exchanges with foreign political parties gradually gathering pace since the lifting of the COVID-19 prevention and control measures, foreign party delegates are eager to learn more about China's socioeconomic development and the Party's internal governance.

"By visiting China in person, delegates of foreign political parties gain confidence in China's development process and the Party, as well as their own countries' cooperation with China," Hu said. Many of the delegates, according to Hu, said that in an era of interwoven changes and challenges, China is a partner they can rely on.

Rajan Bhattarai, a member of the Standing Committee of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) and head of the CPN (UML)'s Foreign Affairs Department, too, was part of the delegation that visited Qinghai. In fact, he has been visiting China since 1993.

"I have witnessed tremendous changes inside China and one remarkable thing that China has achieved under the leadership of CPC is the eradication of poverty. It is the first time in human history that such a large number of people have been lifted out of poverty within such a short period of time," he said.
