    Jalal Al-Talabani, Iraqi president and general secretary of the
    Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, praised the CPC for the "outstanding
    and historic" role it has played in leading the Chinese people in
    the struggles for liberation, freedom, national integrity and progress.

    The CPC has also greatly contributed to realizing world peace and
    peaceful coexistence and sincere cooperation of all peoples in the
    world, Al-Talabani said in his congratulatory message to the CPC.

    He told the CPC that his party would continue to develop relations
    between the two parties to bring benefits to the Chinese people and
    the Arabian and Kurdish peoples in Iraq.

    Navinchandra Ramgoolam, prime minister of Mauritius and leader of
    the Mauritius Labour Party, extended the CPC his "best wishes for a
    fruitful 17th National Congress."

    "The 17th National Congress is being convened at a time when China
    has entered a key stage of reform and development," said the prime
    minister, adding: "I have no doubt that the Communist Party of China
    will record even greater successes and pave the way for modern social
    policies in building a harmonious society."

    He looked forward to further strengthening "the historical ties and
    friendly relations" between the CPC and the Mauritius Labour Party,
    Ramgoolam said.

    Chea Sim, chairman of the Cambodian People's Party and president of the

    following "with great interest and attention" the decisions to be

    importance to the Chinese people, "but also for the significance that
    these deliberations bring to the international community as a whole,
    at a time when interdependence and new realities which are shared
    globally confront us with enormous common challenges."

    China is a nation and a people "with whom we aspire to build,

    he said.

    passionate cause for the communists.
