建党百年,不忘初衷,中共领导中国再崛起
同舟共济70年,中巴两国携手创未来

百年前“从上海石库门到嘉兴南湖,一艘小小红船承载着人民的重托、民族的希望,越过急流险滩,穿过惊涛骇浪,成为领航中国行稳致远的巍巍巨轮。”七十年前“中巴两国间的美好形象烙印在彼此心的明镜中,而后在万里雄关的喀喇昆仑山上,蜿蜒的中巴友谊公路将中国和巴基斯坦的命运紧紧连在一起。”对于中国乃至中巴两国而言,2021年将是具有重要意义的一年。除了中巴建交70周年,中国还迎来了中国共产党成立100周年。中国共产党成立100年来取得了许多重大成就,让中国迎来了从贫穷落后到富裕再到富强的巨大飞跃。中国改革开放40年来,中国在共产党的领导下率先实现了市场经济与社会主义的结合,极大地解放了生产力,促进了经济的快速发展,已有7亿人成功摆脱了贫困。特别是在过去的8年中,中国每年有超过1000万人摆脱贫困,这引起了全世界的关注和惊叹,中国脱贫帮困的经验做法更是为全球提供了中国方案。巴基斯坦是中国的全天候战略合作伙伴,也是中国外交的重点。两国的减贫理念高度兼容。总理伊姆兰·汗本人非常重视中国的扶贫工作,并一再强调要学习中国的扶贫经验,并强调只要有信念和决心,巴基斯坦就能为巴基斯坦人民做同样的事情。纵观中国十八大以来治国理政实践,习近平主席充分展现了“自信笃定的政治意志力、高瞻远瞩的全局掌控力、坚韧无畏的变革创造力、大气厚重的凝聚感召力”四大领袖核心能力。这四大核心能力逻辑严密、相互贯通、协同作用、联动发力。政治意志力确保治国理政方向,全局掌控力推动治国理政进程,变革创造力提升治国理政层次,凝聚感召力展示人民领袖形象。因此,在习近平主席的领导下,中国在新冠期间采取的一系列强有力措施得到了国际的认可,事实证明,没有一个国家能像中国这样,在疫情完全没有预案和准备的情况下,迅速的做出反应,四万多名医护人员奔赴前线,十天建成一座医院,14亿人口的国家,在党和政府的号召下,无论城市还是农村的人民都自觉封闭隔离,这...
