Foreign journalists react to the Government Work Report

Amadou Diop, journalist, Le Soleil, Senegal

"I really appreciated the government work report delivered by the premier...what impressed me most is the government's decision to take courageous initiatives for the benefit of the people and the reduction of taxes, the promotion of foreign investment, and the efforts made by the government in developing public services to prevent corruption."

Imbenque Baducaram Dema, journalist, Guinea-Bissau National TV

"The report is amazing. What impressed me is the plan that China is going to create more than 11 million jobs this year, which means the country is fulfilling the people's hopes in all areas."

Kris Crismundo, Philippine News Agency

"Most of their targets have been achieved for 2018, and of course the country can achieve its targets this year to benefit the Chinese people. On international cooperation, the Chinese government is not just focusing on its domestic market, but also the international market with closer relationships with other countries, evidenced by the Belt and Road Initiative."

Md Enamul Hassan, diplomatic correspondent, Daily Sun, Bangladesh

"I have found it very impressive and informative. As a foreigner, I could get an in-depth overview of the work of the Chinese government. Its description of the Belt and Road Initiative has really impressed me. I am really upbeat to know that the Chinese government will step up global cooperation under the initiative, which can bring good news for Bangladesh too."

Bilal Sabri Ahmed, journalist from Pakistan

"I'm very impressed by the Government Work Report. President Xi Jinping is moving China toward success and is leading the country very well. The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is already underway. The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is a big part of BRI. The project aims to alleviate poverty and boost employment. About 700,000 jobs will be generated by the CPEC project."

Godo Morris Dogga Luwo, journalist from South Sudan

"The Government Work Report is very comprehensive. It covers all sectors of the country and all of the measures and issues. The report has highlighted the major achievements made by the government.

What impressed me most is that China has managed to create over 13 million jobs for the citizens. And also plans to enact the Foreign Investment Law.

China has made positive progress in the past year. China has been able to create more jobs and reduce poverty. The innovation made by China is also great. China has reached the far side of the moon, which is a big achievement. China has also opened up its market to the international community."

Badolo Karim, journalist from Burkina Faso

The Government Work Report is a comprehensive report about the various activities carried out by the Chinese government in 2018.
I think the opening-up policy will have an impact on my country because China will help my country in many fields.

Camara Moussa, journalist from Malawi

"The progress China has achieved during the past year is quite impressive. China has managed to boost its economy. China's opening-up policy has definitely helped my country."
