With rapid development of globalization, informationization, democratization and marketization under current circumstances, some ruling parties have made notable achievements by strengthening party building and following the tide of world development. The experience and practice of these parties are worth studying, says Wang Jiarui, Minister of the CPC International Department in his article carried on the latest issue of the Study Times of the CPC Party School.

There is something in common in ruling party's ruling capability around the world. Despite the different ruling patterns, the varied belief, creed, ruling philosophy and social foundation of the parties, there are still some common rules in building their ruling capability.

The article cites major practices of the foreign ruling parties in six aspects i.e. capability to innovate in theory, to organize and mobilize, to make decision, to develop economy, to cope with crisis, to deal with other countries.

The article mentions the successful experience of the UK's Labour Party, the Hungarian Socialist Worker's Party, the Social Democratic Party of Germany, the Vietnam's Communist Party, the People's Action Party of Singapore.

As a long-term comprehensive systematic project, building of ruling capability involves many aspects. The 4th Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has adopted a resolution on this issue, which signifies the building of ruling capability has entered a new phase. The work must be planned scientifically at strategic level and explained systematically in theory.

The resolution of the 4th Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China not only sets forth the connotation of the ruling capability, but also proposes five aspects in enhancing ruling capability, which covers aspects of economy, politics, culture, society, diplomatism, sovereignty and security. This resolution is the one with no precedent in history of communist party, or even history of party in the world.
