Francis Chua, Vice Chairman of SRCIC and Chairman of the PSRICC pointed out that this year marks the centenary the CPC. For 100 years, the mission of the CPC has been to bring prosperity to the Chinese people. Through decades of arduous struggle, the CPC has achieved one victory after another, profoundly changing the history and destiny of China. The PSRICC is willing to promote the cooperation between the Philippine business community and China. “When we communicate with countries around the world, we will tell them that China is a country that values peace, a country that cares about its people and its neighbors, a country that keeps its word and walks by its word. We will tell the world about China's efforts in promoting global peace and development. That's what we at the PSRICC are doing, and we want to continue to tell good stories about China,”Chua said.

Bekar, representative of Georgian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China, congratulated on the success of the CPC and World Political Parties Summit. He expressed heartfelt congratulations on CPC's centenary and wished China continuous progress and development. He said that from the perspective of history, the period of 100 years is very short. But within such a short time frame, Chinese people managed to make unprecedented achievements under the leadership of the CPC. China is an important strategic partner of Georgia, and the two countries enjoy a time-honored friendship and close cooperation, which he hoped to continue to deepen and develop in the years to come.
