The Party’s international work is closely linked to and thrives together with the Party. International exchanges of the Party have been conducted under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee， which is a direct reflection of the Party’s will in diplomacy. As an important front in the cause of the Party， an integral component of the overall diplomatic work and a significant manifestation of the major country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics， the international work of the CPC defines itself by loyalty to the Party and serving the Party’s lofty goals.

Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core， we in the international work of the Party have always kept in mind the overall interests of the country， and steadfastly implemented the decisions of the Central Committee.

As stressed by General Secretary Xi Jinping， when it comes to upholding the Party’s overall leadership， an issue that bears on the future of the Party and the country， everyone should have a high degree of political awareness and should never waver. Hence， in the international work of the CPC， we always highlight the distinct features of the Party， with the goal of getting across to more audience Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. More and more political parties have a better understanding about the leadership of the CPC and Chinese-style socialism in the new era， as more people sympathize with and support the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.

Meanwhile， we also forcefully push back against any smearing or attack on our Party， contributing to consolidating the governance foundation of the Party and demonstrating our absolute loyalty to the Party through concrete actions. To better fulfill the missions of the Party and consolidate its ruling position， we have also conduced in-depth analysis on the successful experience of foreign political parties， with a view to providing relevant references for the decision-making of the CPC Central Committee. We also build platforms to cultivate the global vision of Party cadres to better navigate the ever-changing international landscape.
