The Communist Party of China (CPC) is scheduled to hold a high-level dialogue with representatives of the Democratic Party and Republican Party in the United States by the end of this year, a senior CPC official has said. A US bipartisan delegation has extended an invitation for the CPC to attend the event, Xinhua quoted Li Jun, a spokesman for the International Department of the CPC Central Committee (IDCPC), as saying. The two sides will decide the details of the dialogue's agenda and timetable later, Li said. The invitation followed the first high-level dialogue between the three main political parties when the US delegation led by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and former Assistant Secretary of State Richard Williamson visited China from March 30 to April 3. "After the dialogue, Mrs Albright concluded that communication between the two parties aims to promote the mutual understanding of each other's approach to governance.”
