Editor's note: As the world grapples with unilateralism-induced crises that have threatened global peace, China continues to be a shining example on the international stage, injecting a stable, developmental, and cooperative momentum. Over the last decade, China, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has achieved great success. This month, the CPC will hold its 20th National Congress, an important political event that draws worldwide attention. The Global Times has interviewed diplomats from various countries who shared their views on China's development and what it means for the world, as well as their expectations for the upcoming congress.

In exclusive interviews with Global Times reporter Hu Yuwei (GT), Rahamtalla M. Osman, the permanent representative of the African Union (AU), to China shared his expectations for the future of ties with China and his understanding of the CPC's endeavors in leading the Chinese people to prosperity.
