Party congress creates new prospects in China -- Moroccan lawmaker (2)

Noting that China is faced with many challenges on issues such as sustainable development, environmental protection, demographic changes, Yatim said he was confident that the CPC would rise up to these challenges given its past record.

When it comes to foreign relations, Yatim said that Arab countries, especially Morocco, have maintained friendly ties with China since long ago.

The Arab world and China had frequent trade and cultural exchanges via the historic Silk Road and their friendly ties have witnessed constant growth for centuries, he said.

As he sees it, China respects the belief, culture and political choices of the Arab people, a reason why the relations between the two sides are always harmonious and mutually beneficial.

China is playing a big role in promoting world peace and global cooperation, Yatim said, adding that the CPC congress will have significant impact on China as well as the whole world.
