The book exhibition was organized to get people ready for the visit and boost cultural exchanges between the two countries, said Jiang.

Xi’s highly-acclaimed book was welcomed by Swiss scholars and journalists who attended the launch ceremony. Catherine Fiankan-Bokonga, vice-president of the Swiss Journalist Club, said she was quite interested in the book, which has been translated into languages she can speak.

"It is very interesting that this book has been translated into French, Italian and German, which our Swiss people speak," said Fiankan-Bokonga. "I think this book could help us understand why China could sustain stable growth for years and how it obtained its global influence."

The book Xi Jinping: The Governance of China contains 79 speeches, talks, interviews, notes and letters by the Chinese leader from November 2012 to June 2014.

The book was published in Chinese, English, French, Russian, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Japanese in September 2014, and now it has been distributed in more than 100 countries and regions with newer versions.
