国内英语新闻:Ambassadors laud Xi's book on governance of China

BEIJING, March 21 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping's book on governance enables the world to become better informed about China's development as well as its internal and foreign policies, ambassadors to China said in a series of interviews with the Xinhuanet.

"Xi Jinping: The Governance of China" contains speeches, answers to questions and instructions by Xi from Nov. 15, 2012 to June 13, 2014. It has sold more than 3 million copies since its release in September last year, including more than 300,000 copies in foreign languages.

Jean-Jacques de Dardel, ambassador of Switzerland to China, said the book was a good reference on modern China policies, and that Xi's thoughts about reform were very constructive.

Friis Arne Petersen, Danish ambassador to China, said for public and government officials in Denmark with an interest in China, the book provided a more direct link to Chinese leaders' thinking than media reports.

The book reflects Xi's wisdom of governance and his aspiration for national rejuvenation, said Kuwaiti Ambassador to China Mohammad Saleh Al-Thuwaikh.

Pakistani Ambassador Masood Khalid said the book presented the Chinese leader's great vision during China's economic and social transformation.
