With the Two Sessions Now Underway in Beijing, Chinese Diplomats in Africa Extend Their “Legislative Greetings”

Chinese ambassador to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Zhu Jing, speaking with the head of the DRC's national assemble Christophe Mboso.

China’s largest legislative event of the year is now underway in Beijing where 5,000 delegates from the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People’s Congress (NPC) are meeting in what’s become known as the “Two Sessions.”

TWEET TRANSLATION: Ambassador Zhu Jing conveyed a congratulatory message sent by Li Zhanshu, Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of China to Christophe Mboso, President of the National Assembly of the DRC.

Every year, Chinese ambassadors in Africa and elsewhere take advantage of the event to reach out to local legislative leaders as was the case yesterday in the DR Congo where Ambassador Zhu Jing passed on a message from the head of the NPC (China’s rubber-stamp parliament) to the President of the Congolese National Assembly.
