Only by choosing the first shot, you will have the initiative in your future work.

Topic selection is extremely important. It should be said that I chose the topic so quickly, which was a bit hasty. In the minds of the leaders on both sides, I should have been familiar with it for a month or two before choosing a targeted topic, but now I have chosen it.

Then the accuracy/sensitivity of the topic selection is even more important, and whether it can be recognized by the leadership is critical.

Lu Weimin is still confident about this. Since he has put himself in this position, the leaders have considered it, and combined with the current development of the international and domestic situation, related to his own responsibility, some policies in China's going out strategy

The topic of shortcomings and mistakes should be very eye-catching.

It is not just as simple as attracting attention, but has real practical significance. Lu Weimin believes that the article based on this proposition is refreshing enough, especially if it can be close to the specific operational strategies of enterprises and governments. Everyone is an expert.

Once you weigh it a little, you will understand the weight.

What's more important is that this proposition cleverly connects the Central Political Research Office and the International Department of the CPC Central Committee. One topic can satisfy both parties, which is very elegant.

Lu Weimin also reported his work ideas to the main leaders of both parties, and received recognition from both parties. In particular, the International Department of the CPC Central Committee was very interested. Lu Weimin put forward some constructive suggestions from inter-party exchanges to international exchanges.

, such as strengthening ties with opposition parties/social groups/local civil organizations in relevant countries, inviting representatives of these group organizations to visit China, and understanding the development of China's reform and opening up, and also considering taking the initiative to organize organizations for political parties and groups in these countries.

Cultivate cadres, invite key members and cadres of these political parties and mass organizations to come to China for further studies, and strengthen ties between the two parties.

These suggestions have won high praise from Minister Zhao Jiahui.

Lu Weimin proposed that the ministry should support the establishment of some non-governmental organizations, similar to the National Endowment for Democracy (ned) in the United States. The National Endowment for Democracy in the United States has too strong political intentions, especially against some countries that the United States considers unfriendly, and has a hostile attitude

The purpose of social organizations is too strong, and the main purposes of these social organizations established by Lu Weimin are to promote a positive image of China and to develop non-governmental exchanges with the countries and regions where they are located, especially with the development of civil society organizations in the countries and regions where they are located.

Friendly exchanges help social elites and ordinary people in the host country deepen their understanding of China. Promoting this work through some civil society organizations can avoid being too sensitive and causing resentment by the ruling party or government of the host country.

In Lu Weimin's view, further strengthening all-round exchanges with potential friendly countries through inter-party exchanges can further consolidate the relationship between the two parties and be of great help in forming an all-weather strategic friendly relationship. At the same time, through some social groups

People-to-people exchanges with these countries and regions can make up for the shortcomings and shortcomings in government and party-to-party exchanges, and bring the people of both sides closer to each other. This will have a long-term role in promoting economic exchanges and political intimacy between the two sides.

When you start working together, time flies by.

Almost in a blink of an eye, a month or two passed. During this period, the research team led by Lin Jieming was launched quietly. Later, the International Research Bureau and the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China added one or two research groups.

The number of personnel and work scope are also expanding, and the intensity is also increasing.

Lu Weimin showed them the way. Mainly for Southeast Asia/South Asia and African countries. These three regions are areas where European and American influence is relatively weak. Moreover, due to the imperfect development of democratic politics, economic development is also uneven, either with the Chinese economy.

The complementarity of development is relatively strong. It is either a large market for Chinese goods or the best area for industrial transfer after China's economic development reaches a certain stage. Therefore, economic development exchanges with these areas will only become increasingly close in the future.

How to carry out all-round exchanges and interactions with these regions and achieve the goals is a big proposition. It cannot be explained clearly in just a few sentences or a few people. This also requires in-depth and detailed research and analysis.

, and come up with a solution, which cannot be completed within a few months.

"Ministry of Lu, I feel that you have always been interested in East Africa. Is there any reason?" Dou Qingwen got into the car and asked with a smile: "I think this research group led by the Central Political Research Office is not only in our ministry, but also in our ministry."

The Political Research Office here recruited people and also reviewed information in our Africa Bureau. They even wanted Yao Qin to send people to our Bureau to work on this topic, saying that Africa is the top priority in the topic you mentioned, especially the East African region.

"

"Oh? I have some thoughts. The situation in East Africa is more complicated, or the penetration of European and American countries in this area is relatively weak, because this area is not as rich in resources as West Africa, nor does it involve too many religions and the Middle East like North Africa.

As a whole, I think some of our work might as well start from some aspects that are relatively simple and easy to implement and have practical benefits and significance for our country." Lu Weimin adjusted his sitting posture and leaned on the back of his chair.

A Kenyan Orange Democratic Movement delegation is visiting China. Today, central leaders will meet with members of the delegation. Lu Weimin and Dou Qingwen are also accompanying them.

"Ministry of Land, now Europe and the United States are beginning to pay more and more attention to African countries, including East Africa. The United States launched the African Growth and Opportunity Act in 2000. Kenya has benefited greatly. Exports to the United States have increased sharply, especially textile exports, which is in line with the United States.

The relationship has also become increasingly close. After the Kenyan election last year, the situation was turbulent, and the Americans actively participated. Secretary of State Rice and Assistant Secretary of State Rice actively mediated. Last year and this year, the Kenyan Prime Minister, who was also the leader of the Orange Democratic Movement, visited twice.

The visit to the United States shows that Americans attach great importance to Kenya." As the deputy director of the Africa Bureau, Dou Qingwen is very familiar with the work he is responsible for.

"Well, Kenya and our country still have some special connections. Kenya is one of the countries along the Indian Ocean that Zheng He arrived in during his voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty. This has a great influence, and many residents of the Lamu Islands also claim to be from the Ming Dynasty.

China's sailors who sailed to the Western Ocean are descendants of the sailors, which shows that the conditions for our country and Kenya to further develop bilateral relations are very good." Lu Weimin paused, "You said that the United States has launched the 'African Growth and Opportunity Act', which has certainly brought us closer.

The connection between Africa and the United States is also an opportunity for our country. The situation in East African countries is stable and the human resources are relatively abundant. It is actually a good destination for the transfer of labor-intensive industries like ours, such as textiles/clothing/general machinery.

Manufacturing, these industries are very attractive to our country's private enterprises, and establishing factories in Kenya will not only help enter the European and American markets, avoid restrictions such as tariffs and quotas, but also actively expand the entire African market, but this

We should manage this market well from the beginning, and cannot go into it with the mentality of just making a profit. Whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, or the exchange between our country and the party, we must take a long-term approach, long-term exchanges, and make a good investment.

It is a chess piece that is extremely beneficial to the expansion of the entire East African region."

Dou Qingwen gave a thumbs up in his mind. The former secretary of the Landao Municipal Party Committee entered the state very quickly. In just two or three months, he was already very familiar with the work he was in charge of, and he quickly found an entry point to let the central government

The research project jointly conducted by the International Research Bureau and the Ministry of Political Science and Technology Research Office is said to be highly recognized by the leaders of both parties, and even higher-level leaders are paying attention to it. It cannot but be said that this person has some standards.

It is not that the Central Political Research Office or the Ministry are unaware of many of the situations he mentioned, but how to string them together, how to analyze these aspects clearly and then blend them together to form a

A guiding strategy is the standard. Not everyone has this strategic vision and judgment.

That's it. Kenya itself has a deep connection with China. Nairobi is also the seat of the United Nations Planning Agency, and its international status and influence are not small. It is reasonable for Lu Weimin to pay attention. However, Lu Weimin is particularly interested in Djibouti, which is a bit strange.

It’s Dou Qingwen’s accident.

"Ministry of Land, we have prepared all the information on Djibouti's situation. When do you want it?" Dou Qingwen hesitated again, "I have contacted the Djibouti Embassy in China and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. An invitation was sent to a joint delegation of the People's Alliance for Progress/Front for Restoration and Unity/National Democratic Party/Social Democratic Party/Reformers Alliance, where the 'Majority Alliance' is located, to visit my country. In addition, I also contacted the Chinese Embassy in Kyrgyzstan and we also Djibouti’s opposition parties ard/udj/pdd are welcome to visit China at a convenient time, and specific matters require further consultation.”

Seemingly sensing Dou Qingwen's somewhat uncomprehending gaze, Lu Weimin smiled slightly and said, "Qingwen, do you think my interest in Djibouti, a small country in East Africa, is too strong?"
