BEIJING, Oct. 31 (Xinhuanet) -- "Xi Jinping's report to the 19th CPC National Congress has a lofty vision and global significance, " said Chen Xulong, Director of Department for International and Strategic Studies at China Institute of International Studies.
Chen said this during a recent interview with Xinhuanet.
He stressed that the part on China's diplomacy is full of brilliant new ideas.
The report highly praised the achievements made in China's major-country diplomacy since the 18th CPC National Congress and systematically put forward the principles and policies of China's diplomacy over the next five years and beyond, Chen said.
