CPIM General Secretary Prakash Karat meets Senior Chinese communist party leaders

Liu Yunshan (R), a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, meets with Prakash Karat, general secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M)

A senior leader of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Liu Yunshan on Thursday (20th June) met with a delegation of the Communist Party of India (Marxist).

Liu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, reviewed this year's meetings between leaders of China and India, saying they reached important consensus on consolidating the bilateral strategic partnership.

China and India are developing countries each with more than 1 billion population and the most important task for both countries is development, Liu said.

The Chinese people are committed to realizing the "Chinese dream" of national rejuvenation, which means state wealth and people's happiness, Liu said, adding it is also the dream of peace, development, cooperation and common prosperity.

The CPC would like to work with the Communist Party of India (Marxist) to promote the development of the two countries and enhance the people's welfare, Liu said.

Prakash Karat, general secretary of the CPIM, said India and China are the world's two biggest developing economies.

There is huge potential for China and India to work together in both bilateral sphere and the international field, Karat said.

The Communist Party of India (Marxist) would like to work more closely with the CPC on sharing experiences on state governance and promoting the growth of party-to-party and country-to-country relations, Karat said. Prakash Karat is leading the delegation for a week-long visit in China. 
The other members of the delegation are: A K Padmanabhan (Polit Bureau member), Jogendra Sharma (Central Secretariat member), P Madhu and Rama Das (Central Committee members).

On Wednesday the delegation led by Prakash Karat met with  Vice President Li Yuanchao
Li, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said during the meeting that China and India are close neighbors and their relationship has made new progress since the beginning of this year.

He said the two sides need to work hard to push their strategic cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity to a higher level.

Noting that left wing parties like the Communist Party of India (Marxist) play an important role in safeguarding China-India friendship, Li said he hopes the party can strengthen contact with the CPC to promote stable and healthy development of the two countries' relationship.

Karat stressed the significance of developing the relationship and said his party will make unremitting efforts in this regard.
