The Director of the China Studies centre, Gulnar Shaimergenova, opened the seminar by emphasizing the important role of the CPC not only in China’s internal development but also in promoting international initiatives that contribute to global stability and prosperity. She noted that China, as a strategic partner of Kazakhstan, continues to demonstrate an example of responsible leadership and constructive cooperation in addressing world issues. According to Shaimergenova, the CPC’s commitment to creating a harmonious society and sustainable peace deserves special attention, especially in the context of the “Community of a Shared Future for Mankind” initiative.

 

Mr. Wang Tao, Counselor and Minister-Counselor of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Kazakhstan, delivered a welcoming address. In his speech, Wang Tao emphasized that the CPC has fought throughout its history not only for the happiness of the Chinese people but also for the progress of humanity as a whole. He particularly highlighted China’s commitment to the five principles of peaceful coexistence, which form the foundation of the country’s international policy. Wang Tao also pointed out that China actively promotes the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, providing new answers to contemporary challenges.

Suleimenov Institute of Oriental Studies of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan, focused in his presentation on the philosophical foundations of the CPC, emphasizing the role of Chinese political thought in the country’s modernization. He detailed the evolution of ideas from Confucius to Deng Xiaoping and Xi Jinping, noting that the concept of “Great Unity” (Da Tong) is key to understanding China’s aspiration for a harmonious society.
