Senior Communist Party of China (CPC) leader Liu Yunshan on Monday called on China and Europe to make joint efforts to deepen their comprehensive strategic partnership.
Liu, a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the fourth China-Europe High-Level Political Parties Forum held in Suzhou City in east China's Jiangsu Province.
The forum, with the theme of "Promoting Win-Win Cooperation for New Breakthroughs in China-Europe Relations," will be attended by 44 political parties from 27 European countries, a regional European political party, a political party group in the European Parliament and high-ranking officials from several European think tanks.
Liu, also a member of the Secretariat of the CPC Central Committee, said that deepening reform and opening up should be implemented in the process of China's modernization.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Europe comprehensive strategic partnership.
Liu pointed out that the fate of China and Europe is closely linked with increasingly interdependency of all countries in the world.
He advised to promote the two sides' relations by setting up the concept of win-win cooperation, consolidating economic foundation for the China-Europe partnership, strengthening cultural exchange, properly handling differences between them and working together to address global challenges.
The scope of party-to-party relationship between China and Europe has increased, he noted, adding that the CPC is willing to strengthen ties with all parties in Europe and make efforts for the two sides' cooperation as well as their peoples' benefit.
Representatives from the European countries also expressed their hope at the forum to put aside ideological differences, deepen mutual understanding and achieve win-win cooperation with China.
