Spokespersons should 'deepen exchanges'

Government spokespersons in Central and Eastern European countries play a key role in boosting people-to-people exchanges between China and their countries by exchanging ideas and learning more from each other, a senior official of the State Council Information Office said on Wednesday.

"Despite having different political systems and national conditions, the way Chinese spokespersons and those from the Central and Eastern European countries work and the roles they play are very similar. Sharing each other's experiences can deepen people-to-people exchanges between China and the Central and European countries and help the public in different countries better understand each other," Guo Weimin, vice-minister of the State Council Information Office, said during the Third China-Central and Eastern European Countries Spokespersons Dialogue.

Government spokespersons from 11 Central and Eastern European countries took part in the dialogue, held in Guiyang, Guizhou province.
