Greek MP claims decisions taken in Beijing have deep global impact
Print Edition
Greece is taking great interest in the ongoing deliberations at the annual session of China鈥檚 National People鈥檚 Congress, as the decisions made in Beijing this March will have a deep global impact, a Greek member of parliament has said.
鈥淭he National People鈥檚 Congress is one of China鈥檚 key institutional pillars. Its work contributes decisively to China鈥檚 social and economic progress and of course it has a very important international impact,鈥 said Anastasios Kourakis, first deputy speaker of the Hellenic parliament.
鈥淚ts composition, with universal representativeness from all over China, and its important institutional responsibilities make this institution central not only for the country itself, but also for the global governance system. In this context, the international impact of the NPC is deep,鈥 he stressed.
In the Greek parliament, MPs have often expressed interest in visiting the NPC and exchanging views with their Chinese colleagues, Kourakis said.
The amendments to China鈥檚 Constitution, such as listing supervisory commissions as a state organ, are one of the main topics for this year鈥檚 NPC session, the MP said in a recent interview.
鈥淭he creation of new institutions that improve the functioning and efficiency of the administration are always positive steps. Particularly in the field of institutional control, the creation of effective mechanisms can contribute decisively to the success of the policies implemented,鈥 he suggested.
Asked what has impressed him most about China鈥檚 development in recent years and its contribution to the development of the world, Kourakis referred to China鈥檚 dynamic entry into the global high-tech products market.
The rapid development is also felt in Greece, where China鈥檚 smart products and applications are among consumers鈥 most popular choices, he noted.
According to the Greek lawmaker, visitors to the 2017 Thessaloniki International Fair, Greece鈥檚 largest annual commercial exhibition, got a glimpse of advanced Chinese technology applications last September.
In this context, China has offered significant contributions to global technological development, Kourakis said.
As the friendship between Greece and China has flourished in recent years, Kourakis highlighted the significant role of the two countries鈥 parliaments in maintaining cordial ties. Parliamentary diplomacy is a pillar for the development of international relations, and Greece and China have worked methodically in this field, he said.
Greek MPs got the chance to interact with different political and state institutions of China last year, while the Hellenic parliament has received numerous Chinese delegations in past years, Kourakis revealed.
鈥淐ontinuous exchanges and cooperation in a wide range of policy areas have created a solid basis not only for common development, but also for the deepening of the very strong feelings between the two peoples,鈥 he added.
