Accra: China’s governance model offers valuable insights to countries seeking stability, sustainable growth, and social cohesion, Gyula Thurmer, president of the Hungarian Workers’ Party, said in a recent interview with Xinhua.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Thurmer highlighted China’s consistent leadership, long-term planning, and close connection with its people as key factors enabling the nation to tackle major global challenges, such as economic headwinds and poverty. He attributed the success of the Communist Party of China (CPC) to its adaptation of Marxism to the country’s realities, emphasizing practical development and public well-being. “The party can fulfill its function when it is close to the people, when it lives among the people,” he stated.

Thurmer contrasted these achievements with the crises confronting Western countries, where public frustration with traditional political systems is mounting. He praised China’s ability to sustain economic growth despite global uncertainties, Western protectionism, and trade restrictions, noting the resilience of China’s economy across its industrial, agricultural, and service sectors.

“China has created a new form of international cooperation,” Thurmer said, commending Beijing’s role in promoting multilateralism through initiatives such as the Belt and Road Initiative, BRICS, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. He emphasized that these efforts foster a new kind of globalization built on mutual respect and win-win partnerships, offering developing nations more equitable opportunities for growth.

Thurmer expressed the need for new forms of cooperation among countries, based on win-win principles rather than the will of one or two big powers. He suggested that other nations could learn from China’s emphasis on stability, strategic foresight, and grassroots engagement.

He also noted the expansion of Hungary’s cooperation with China through industrial projects, technological partnerships, and cultural exchanges, which could help drive Hungary’s economic development, particularly in the automobile sector. Additionally, he highlighted the significance of the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the CPC, noting that China’s stability is crucial to global peace and economic cooperation. “A stable China will help ensure stability in the world,” he said.

Thurmer concluded by saying that China’s governance approach-rooted in people-centered policies and long-term vision-offers a compelling example for nations facing complex global challenges. “We expect from China new ideas on how to develop our countries.”
