Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has congratulated President Xi Jinping on his re-election as General Secretary of Communist Party of China for the 3rd term.
In a tweet today (Sunday), he said it is a glowing tribute to his sagacious stewardship and unwavering devotion for serving the people of China.
Xi Jinping has secured a historic third term as China’s leader, state media reported, after a Communist Party Congress in which he cemented his position as the nation’s most influential leader since founder Mao Zedong.
According to international media, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party elected Xi as its general secretary for another five-year term on Sunday, Xinhua reported, tilting the country decisively back towards one-man rule after decades of power-sharing among its elite.
His anointment in a closed-door vote came after a week-long gathering of the party faithful in Beijing during which they endorsed Xi’s “core position” in the leadership and approved a sweeping reshuffle that saw former rivals step down.
Xi is now all but certain to sail through to a third term as China’s president, due to be formally announced during the government’s annual legislative sessions in March.
