Xinhua Updated: 2026-03-06

China's annual two sessions have drawn global attention. In this special coverage of the two sessions, foreign parliamentary figures share their thoughts on the two sessions and China's development.

In this episode, Suos Yara, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, Information of the Cambodian National Assembly, noted that Chinese modernization offers a new paradigm for Global South countries by emphasizing development effectiveness, policy continuity, and improved livelihoods. 

He added that the two sessions demonstrate that democracy has no "one-size-fits-all" international standard, and that each country should explore a development path suited to its own history and culture.
