China's Governance and Worldwide Development Global Dialogue took place in Moscow on November 5. 

Co-hosted by China Media Group (CMG) and the Chinese Embassy in Russia, the event brought together more than 100 guests from political, business, academic and media circles, alongside university students. They discussed China's governance experience and the prospects for future China-Russia cooperation.

Shen Haixiong, president of CMG, delivered a video address, stressing that understanding modern China requires understanding the Communist Party of China (CPC).

He noted that the recently concluded fifth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee evaluated the Party's past achievements and experience in advancing full and rigorous Party self-governance in the new era, and outlined systematic plans for future efforts. He said the CPC will continue to strengthen internal governance by holding itself to higher standards and taking more concrete measures, advancing China's governance through the Party's own governance.

Shen also laid out CMG's efforts to share China's governance practices with the world through high-quality programs, including "Classics Quoted by Xi Jinping" and a series of programs on Xi Jinping Thought on Party Building. He added that CMG will expand platforms for dialogue and mutual learning, leveraging its multilingual network and global reach to deepen cooperation with governments, media outlets and think tanks, while using cultural and audiovisual programs to promote people-to-people exchanges.

Speaking at the session, Chargé d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Moscow Zhang Wei stated that amid profound global changes, the international community must unite to promote lasting peace and shared prosperity. 

Pointing out that this year marks the 30th anniversary of the China-Russia strategic partnership of coordination and the 25th anniversary of the Treaty of Good-Neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, he noted that bilateral cooperation continues to expand and that the event provides a valuable platform for dialogue.

Andrey Denisov, chairman of the international committee at Russia's Federation Council, called the CPC a pillar of stability and development for a country of more than 1.4 billion people. He added that China's experience demonstrates how countries can forge development paths tailored to their own national conditions.

Igor Chernyak, first deputy editor-in-chief of Rossiyskaya Gazeta, highlighted the CPC's commitment to self-reform and full and rigorous Party self-governance, saying China's development path showcases the vitality of its modernization model. 

Indira Kodzasova, deputy editor-in-chief of Argumenty i Fakty, highlighted growing China-Russia connectivity and people-to-people exchanges, noting that media cooperation was moving beyond mutual reporting toward joint planning and production.

Vitaly Mankevich, president of the Russian-Asian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RAUIE), said China's emphasis on tapping domestic demand could create new opportunities for Russian businesses in consumer goods and high-tech services. He said he wants to see deeper technological cooperation and industrial coordination.

Participants welcomed the significance of the Fifth Plenary Session, saying China's experience in Party self-governance and national governance offered insights for countries around the world. The event also featured screenings of CMG productions, including the Russian-language version of "Crafted in China."

A number of leading Russian media outlets, including Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Komsomolskaya Pravda and Argumenty i Fakty, covered the event.
