China welcomes the greater role of the National Assembly in international affairs. Zhao Leji emphasized that multilateralism is an effective path to maintain peace and promote development. The National Assembly itself is an important achievement in practicing multilateralism. The National People's Congress of China supports the National People's Congress of China to further leverage its influence, uphold and practice true multilateralism, adhere to joint consultation, construction, and sharing, promote dialogue among parliaments of various countries, widely gather consensus, and achieve more practical results; We support the efforts of the National Assembly to promote sustainable development and are willing to strengthen cooperation with parliaments of various countries to contribute to narrowing the development gap between the North and the South and promoting common prosperity in the world. The National People's Congress of China is willing to work with the National Assembly and parliaments of other countries to promote the common values of peace, development, fairness, justice, democracy, and freedom for all mankind, promote mutual understanding and affinity among people of all countries, and promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind. Zhao Leji expressed that China appreciates the fair stance of the Legislative Yuan on issues related to China's core interests and major concerns for a long time, and hopes to further enhance friendly relations with the Legislative Yuan. The National People's Congress of China and the National People's Congress of China have jointly held 5 seminars for parliamentarians from developing countries, and over 150 parliamentarians from Asian and African countries have come to China for exchange and inspection. China is willing to continue to run this exchange platform well, share experience and collaborate with parliamentarians from various countries. Zhao Leji introduced the system of the People's Congress and the relevant situation of the National People's Congress. He said that the People's Congress system implemented in China is a fundamental political institutional arrangement that adheres to the organic unity of the leadership of the CPC, the people being the masters of the country and the rule of law. This system not only widely promotes democracy, fully absorbs public opinion, gathers people's wisdom, but also enables timely scientific decision-making, handles affairs according to law and procedures, and achieves unified and efficient organization of various undertakings by the country. China is willing to strengthen exchanges with the Legislative Yuan in better playing the role of the legislative body and ensuring that the people are the masters of their own affairs.

The Chinese side has always actively supported the various work of the National People's Congress, and has achieved fruitful cooperation in many areas such as poverty reduction, promoting global inclusiveness, and promoting sustainable development goals in Africa. We look forward to further strengthening exchanges between the two sides and pushing cooperation to new heights. (New News Agency)
