Chinese President Xi Jinping reappeared in public on Tuesday, the first time since returning from a landmark trip abroad earlier this month and with less than three weeks to go until the Communist Party’s national congress.
Xi visited an exhibition in Beijing on the country’s achievements during his past two terms.
The party has led the country through various political, economic, ideological challenges and natural disasters in the past 10 years, state news agency Xinhua quoted him as saying at the exhibition.

He added that Chinese authorities should “broadly propagate” key successes since 2012, the year Xi took the party’s helm.
Xi was joined by dozens of China’s top officials, including all Beijing-based members of the 25-strong Politburo, the party’s decision-making body, Xinhua said.

The visit came 10 days after Xi returned to Beijing from a trip to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan – his first in more than two years – and in the countdown to the congress, which is expected to usher in a third term for Xi as the party’s leader.
