An international program is taking place in Beijing, bringing together representatives of communist, socialist, and leftist parties from 20 countries, including Russia, India, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Kazakhstan, Egypt, Lebanon, Mexico, Moldova, South Africa, and other countries.

The program included working meetings and discussions devoted to contemporary challenges facing the global socialist movement, prospects for the development of socialism, issues of party building, and strengthening international inter-party cooperation.

Participants paid special attention to the experience of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, and the results of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, held from October 26 to 29.

The key outcome of the plenary session was the decision to further strengthen intra-party governance across all fronts. The focus was on strengthening party building, increasing discipline and accountability among party cadres, improving intra-party oversight, and combating corruption.

The plenary session emphasized the need to maintain the CPC’s leading role in the country’s development, strengthen the Party’s unified, centralized leadership, uphold the principles of democratic centralism, and improve the effectiveness of Party organizations at all levels. Particular attention was paid to training cadres, strengthening their political responsibility and professional competence, and maintaining close ties between the Party and the people.

Anti-corruption work became a separate focus. The adopted decision outlined the need for a comprehensive approach combining increased accountability for violations, improved control mechanisms, and corruption prevention. It emphasized that strengthening party discipline and improving intra-party institutions are essential conditions for effective party leadership.

The plenary session participants also reviewed the CPC’s objectives in the context of a changing international situation, the need to ensure China’s sovereignty and security, and the continuation of reforms and the country’s socioeconomic development. A decision was made to hold the 21st National Congress of the Communist Party of China in Beijing in the second half of 2027.

One of the key events of the international program was a meeting with Lu Kang, Deputy Director of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee, dedicated to issues of international cooperation, the development of inter-party ties, and strengthening cooperation between political parties of various countries.

During their stay in Beijing, the international delegation visited the Museum of the History of the Communist Party of China, which opened in 2021 to commemorate the CPC’s centenary. The museum’s extensive exhibition covers more than a century of the party’s history—from its founding and revolutionary struggles to the founding of the People’s Republic of China, socialist construction, and the country’s current stage of development. The museum displays thousands of historical documents, photographs, and unique exhibits reflecting the key stages of the formation and development of the Chinese state.

The working visit’s itinerary also includes visits to the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Hubei Province. During the trip, representatives of foreign political parties will learn about the practical experience of socioeconomic development in China’s regions, the implementation of state programs, and the activities of local CPC Party organizations. Particular attention will be paid to regional development, improving public administration, and interaction between Party structures and the public.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation (CPRF) and the Communist Party of China (CPC) have enjoyed long-standing comradely relations and regular interparty interaction. Cooperation between the two parties encompasses issues of party building, sharing experiences in socialist development, international politics, and strengthening ties between the peoples of Russia and China. Contacts between the leadership of the CPRF and the CPC, exchanges of delegations, and joint discussions of pressing issues in the international communist movement play a key role in developing this cooperation. The current visit continues this work and contributes to the further development of cooperation between the two parties.
