"I firmly believe that under the leadership of the CPC, Chinese people will surely achieve all the goals and targets for prosperity," he said, adding that SPST will make breakthroughs in talent cultivation, internationalization reform, social contributions and other aspects led by the spirit of the 20th National Congress.
Meanwhile, Kashan Khan a Pakistani PhD. candidate studying at Tianjin University, felt honored to watch the opening ceremony of this "history-making" 20th CPC National Congress that bears "world significance."
According to Khan, human society has reached a crossroad and faces unprecedented challenges.
