State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Monday that telling the stories of the Communist Party of China well and presenting, defending and promoting its name is an essential and important task and key responsibility that China's diplomatic service must undertake.

Noting that the CPC has gained more attention and recognition from the international community, Wang said more and more friends admire the great achievements of the Chinese people under the leadership of the CPC.

More and more countries hope to learn about the "secrets" behind the CPC's success, he said.

As the CPC will hold its 20th National Congress this year, Wang said China's diplomatic service will continue to tell the stories of the CPC well to the world so that more international friends can understand the CPC.
