It is the second time that I have come as ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina to China. The first stint was from 2002 to 2005. I should say I respect the NPC, because it is taking important decisions for Chinese people as a whole. The NPC’s work on social fields impressed me this year.

For example, the government work report said that this year China plans to provide job opportunities to more than 10 million people. It is of big importance to young people. Another decision that impressed me was its fight against corruption and other criminal problems, which is also important. The 7 percent growth of GDP is also important, because that is reality.

Obviously, these decisions are good for the future. I can see that China has a bright future. Although there might be problems in the future, especially given the crises in the world and China’s huge population, but I think the world will be a better place thanks to the policies of China.
