ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan-China Institute, in collaboration with the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China, will hold the launching ceremony of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s book, titled The Governance of China, tomorrow (Friday) at the Pak-China Friendship Centre in the federal capital.

President Mamnoon Hussain will grace the ceremony as chief guest, said a press statement issued on Wednesday.

The event will be chaired by Pakistan-China Institute Chairman Senator Mushahid Hussain Sayed and will be attended by senior dignitaries from the governments of both countries. The guest of honour will be Communist Party of China International Department Vice Minister Chen Fengxiang.

“In the book, which is being launched for the first time in Pakistan, Chinese President Xi Jinping, puts forward new thoughts, ideas and assessments, in response to the major theoretical and practical issues on the development of the party and the country in the contemporary era. These theories have showcased the central leadership’s ideas and strategies in governing the country,” Senator Mushahid said.

He hoped that the book would help its readership to understand the Chinese government under the dynamic leadership of Xi Jinping in governing the country, as well as China’s ideologies, pattern of development, policies and diplomacy.

The book has been compiled jointly by the State Council Information Office, the Party Literature Research Office of Central Committee and China International Publishing Group and is available in multiple languages, including Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Japanese.

It is divided into 18 categories, containing 79 speeches, informal talks, addresses, answers to questions from the press, approvals and congratulatory letters by and from Xi Jinping, made between November 15, 2012 and June 13, 2014.
