Others find value in nation's example

China's new development strategies outlined by General Secretary Xi Jinping at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China can offer lessons for governments of other countries, according to foreign civil servants studying in China.

"The report is a tool for socialists around the world," Zamira Marin Triana, vice-minister of Cuba's Ministry of Labor and Social Security, said on Tuesday. "Cuba needs to learn from the experiences and lessons of other countries, especially what has happened and what is going on in China."

She is among 192 civil servants from 35 countries who have been studying China's system of governance at the Chinese Academy of Governance in Beijing since Nov 2.
