CPC to Continue Cooperation with Communist Party of India (M)

DISCUSSION

CHINESE

SEND TO FRIEND

The Communist Party of China (CPC) expressed its confidence on Tuesday that the friendship and cooperation between the CPC and the Communist Party of India (Marxist) CPI(M) would continue to be consolidated and strengthened.

In a message to the CPI(M), which began its six-day conference on Tuesday in Hyderabad, 1,500 kilometers south of here, the CPC said the continuation of friendship and cooperation between the two parties would promote friendly ties between China and India.

In its long process of struggle, the message said, the CPI(M) has integrated universal principle of Marxism with national realities and explored paths of development that accord with its own conditions.

"The CPI(M) has withstood various tests domestically and internationally and has been growing in strength," the message said.

Describing the CPI(M) as a fairly influential political force in Indian political and social life, the CPC said the CPI(M) had played an important role in promoting social progress and development in the country as well as exerting positive and effective influence in safeguarding regional and world peace.

Over 740 delegates from across the country and communist party representatives from 21 other countries, including China, the United States, Britain, France, Australia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, are attending the conference.

In his key-note address at the opening session, CPI(M) veteran leader H. Surjeet said, due to "political vacuum" in the country, there was a need to build a "third front" as an alternative to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the opposition, the Congress, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI).

"We need to fill up the growing vacuum by projecting an immediate alternative. This is the right time as the BJP is fast declining and reaching the lowest point of the graph," Surjeet was quoted as saying in his 30-minute address.
