China wins praise from party leaders around the world

Political party leaders across the globe have congratulated China on its social and economic accomplishments and contribution to the world.

Their praise came as the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China convened on Thursday.

The reform and opening-up policy initiated by late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping has integrated China with the global economy, and China has constantly been implementing the policy with its own methods, said Pierre Laurent, the national secretary of the French Communist Party.
