Beijing Daily Client | Reporter Bai Bo
"Without Communist , there would be no new China..." This song that is familiar to Chinese people, Niu Wangdao, Ambassador of Argentina , has long been catchy.
In February this year, as a accompanying staff member, Niu Wangdao participated in the meeting between President Xi Jinping and the visiting Argentina President Fernandez. Out of appreciation for the ruling philosophy of the Communist Party of China , Niu Wangdao said to President Xi Jinping in Chinese at the end of the meeting: "Without the Communist Party, there would be no new China." President Xi Jinping smiled and greeted: "Well said, well said, thank you for your support." This scene of
has become a good story in China's diplomacy and China-Arab relations in recent years.
During the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Niu Wangdao once again accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from the Beijing Daily client, and talked about his understanding of "there would be no new China without the Communist Party."
Travel all over China to explore the password for success
"Long ago before coming to China as ambassador, I began to study China's development history. I am particularly interested in how this country has achieved such outstanding achievements in such a short period of time. So, I especially like the sentence in the lyrics - there would be no new China without the Communist Party. Because it correctly explains why China has progressed at an unprecedented rate in human history, and why China has changed from a backward country to an advanced country. The achievements of China's economic and social development in the past decade have been admirable." Niu Wangdao said.
Niu Wangdao was born in 1975 and became the ambassador to China in 2021. In order to promote the development of Arab-China relations, Niu Wangdao visited more than 20 provinces in China with abundant energy and enthusiasm in a very short period of time, and soon became one of the most familiar ambassadors to China by Chinese media and the public.
As we set foot in the vast land of China, Niu Wangdao has a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the achievements made by China and the Communist Party of China. "All success is achieved with great effort and sacrifice. It's very important." He told reporters that whenever he meets representatives from different fields in various parts of China, he always finds many "the protagonists of the story" and learns about their experiences: how to live under material scarcity, and the efforts that individuals and collectives must put in. They have a deep understanding of close integration with the people.
"'Learn from history and create the future', it is crucial to keep this in mind. The welfare of a new generation always involves the efforts and sacrifices of many people, so the experience of the generation in front of them is related to correcting mistakes and the success of the next generation." Niu Wangdao pointed out that the Communist Party of China is very clear about this, which is why they focus on long-term goals with a strategic thinking that surpasses generations of people; this is why we can never forget those who have made and sacrificed, and it is their efforts that make possible the reality that many people can enjoy today.
Niu Wang quoted Argentina Vice President Christina Fernandez de Kirchner 's famous quote: "This is not magic." He explained that social well-being and economic growth depend on the efforts of many specific political actions, especially when these actions are about the well-being of the people.
China advocates promoting harmony and justice in the international order
Niu Wangdao said that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China is not only very important to China, but also has an impact on the world. The great achievements of the Communist Party of China have attracted global attention and are generally recognized. In a complex and challenging world, the report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China sends a signal of hope.
"Today China is one of the most dynamic countries in the world and has established its responsible and important role on the international stage, which has been reflected in specific practice. For example, in the fight against the epidemic, it has shown unprecedented unity with the countries that need help the most." Niu Wangdao said that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has determined China's development plan for the next five years and has made a prospect for a longer period of time. This is equally significant for countries, from which you can understand the road map for a major partner.
China's R&D expenditure ranks second in the world in the world, and the total number of R&D personnel ranks first in the world. One of the key words that attracted Niu Wangdao's attention in the Twenty Top Reports is technological innovation."Although this is not new, and China has been insisting on investing in the R&D field for many years, the Twenty Top Reports further emphasize winning the 'battle of core technologies with the 'national strategic needs' as the guide." Niu Wangdao said that it is the investment in science and technology that has made China a global innovation power, especially in strategic areas such as communications, renewable energy, information technology, biotechnology, satellite and aerospace.
The Twenty Top Reports once again emphasize promoting world peace and development and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind. Niu Wangdao said that China's diplomacy has always attached importance to prerequisites such as peace, cooperation, development, and sharing. In the past decade, China has injected new impetus into the democratization of multilateralism and international relations , emphasizing the role of developing countries in this process. Under the guidance of the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, China actively promotes the joint construction of the "Belt and Road" initiative, the Global Development Initiative, and the Global Security Initiative. These initiatives can be regarded today as the core structure for building a more harmonious and just international order.
"Belt and Road" is the most important cooperation result between the two countries
After coming to China to work, Niu Wangdao and his family had a happy time in Beijing. "We really like the city of Beijing. It has a history of thousands of years and has preserved rich cultural heritage, but at the same time it has achieved modernization and development. It has undoubtedly become one of the most important capitals in the world. In Beijing, the speed of infrastructure construction and improvement is in harmony with the protection of historical sites."
Niu Wangdao particularly emphasized that Beijing is a "real beacon" in the cultural field. The music, food, dance, painting and many other art forms here allow people to appreciate the diversity of in different provinces and regions in China. In October last year, under the promotion of Niu Wangdao, Central Conservatory of Music cooperated with the National University of Art of Argentina to establish China's first Tango Art Research and Practice Center.
"Today's Beijing has a strong international influence, you can find food and art from all over the world, and tango is very popular in Beijing. In the field of sports, by hosting the 2008 Olympic Games and the 2022 Winter Olympics , Beijing has become a well-deserved 'tandoo city'." Niu Wangdao said.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Argentina and China. htmlIn February, Argentine President Alberto Fernandez successfully visited China and attended the opening ceremony of Beijing Winter Olympics . Argentina officially joined the initiative to jointly build the "Belt and Road". Niu Wangdao said that this is the most important cooperation achievement between Arab and China in recent years. Under this framework, the two sides are formulating a list of infrastructure investment cooperation. The economies of Argentina and China are complementary. The two countries have cooperated in Argentina to build the largest photovoltaic power plant in South America and the Artucha No. 3 nuclear power plant in Argentina.
"In fact, President Fernandez's visit to China has concretized the work we have been doing - this is a path of common development with China." Niu Wangdao said.
