Ethiopian PM says improvement of CPC´s governing capability contributes to China´s success

Meles said he also saw dramatic improvement in the implementation capability of the CPC's cadres at all levels, citing their quick response to the devastating May 12 earthquake in southwest China and excellent organizational skills in the Beijing Olympics.

"It is a devastating earthquake, but the response to manage such a massive earthquake was very different from the 1976 Tangshan earthquake," he said.

"By admission of all members of the Olympic family, the Beijing Olympics was the best ever held in the Olympic history," Meles said.

Meles said the EPRDF needs to learn from the CPC on party building.

"We, the EPRDF, should learn from the CPC, particularly in terms of governing capability, development of leadership and cadres, and mobilization of the nation behind clear national objectives," he said.

"There are a number of very fundamental lessons that, I think, are very valuable to us," he added.

Meles said the EPRDF and the CPC have enjoyed close and friendly relations over the past years, adding both parties are facing an urgent task of national economic reconstruction.

"We believe we are very well pleased to learn the positive experience of the CPC."
