Guelar said the two sessions have enormous potential as an example of the diversity and complexity of the Chinese leadership, including a meeting of some 5,000 people who are deputies to the National People's Congress and members of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, who are from all walks of life, including economists, academics and artists.
"I think that, once again, China will show, to both the ambassadors posted here and the international community, a great capacity for planning for the benefit of its people.
But this opportunity will happen within a new scenario," in which China fully realizes its potential for an international role, he said.
According to Guelar, last year was crucial for both China and the international community, because China has become a powerful state that participates in the most pressing global issues.
"A clear example is environmental issues. A few years ago, China was globally perceived as trying to avoid facing such problems, but the country has now become one of the leaders in this field," he said.
The ambassador thinks one of the main challenges for the Chinese government in 2017 is to ensure that the world fully understands the political and economic processes that are taking place in China.
"Therefore, policies focused on both communication and culture are crucial," he added.
