Foreign politicians hail progress in Xiong'an

Calling Xiong'an New Area an important window to observe Chinese modernization, leaders and representatives of world political parties said on Thursday that Xiong'an has showcased China's development philosophies and they would like to strengthen exchanges of experience in urban construction and governance with China.

More than 230 foreign guests from nearly 40 countries made the remarks after a two-day tour to Xiong'an, located about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing. The trip took them to places including communities and wetlands.

Mohsen Ali Omar Ba Sarra, deputy speaker of the Parliament of Yemen, hailed Xiong'an as an environmentally friendly city, offering a Chinese solution to a set of urban diseases.
