12、us hospitality, and take this opportunity, best wishes to the Australian people!In 1995 I visited your country, the visit left me a good impression. Again after 11 years here, I not only felt the friendly feelings towards the Chinese people and the people of Australia, but also found that the people
13、 here in China showed a keen interest in. People pay more attention to China, because Chinas reform and opening up has undergone tremendous changes. From 1978 to 2005,Chinas GDP increased by 11 times, according to the annual exchange rate, by$215300000000 to $2.2257; per capita GDP from $225 to $170
14、7; last year,import and export trade amounted to $1.42; by February of this year, foreign exchange reserves reached $853600000000.With Chinas overall national strength, the universal concern of the international community, China will take what kind of development path? Will assume what kind of respo
15、nsibility to the international community? Can become a force for world peace and prosperity? I would like to talk about a few views thereon.China is taking a path of peaceful development. It is the essence of China,through striving for a peaceful international environment for its own development, bu
16、t also to its own development to promote world peace; Chinas development depends on her own power and innovation, and adhere to the open policy; China to conduct exchanges and cooperation with all countries in the world on the basis of equality and mutual benefit, realize mutual benefit and win-win
17、cooperation, common development. Chinas development is peaceful development, open development, cooperative development.Not to move or retreat to the path of peaceful development, is the inevitable choice for china.First, this is decided by Chinas historical and cultural traditions. The Chinese natio
18、n always have faith and promote good will, advocate of peace. Do not do toothers, and not harm, to not fight, reflected the Chinese nation the world offeelings and moral rationality character.Second, this is determined by Chinas need for development. To accelerate the economic and social development
19、, building a modern nation, is the Chinesepeople are striving for historical task. To achieve this goal, we must live together in peace together, mutual trust with other countries.Third, this is decided by the tide of world development institute. The pursuit of peace, development, cooperation is the
20、 common aspiration of all peoples. Chinais a member of the international community, to achieve their own development, to conform to the world trend, together with other countries to take responsibility for safeguarding world peace.In short, adhere to the path of peaceful development, not a matter of
21、 expediency, but the Chinese government and peoples serious choice and solemn commitment.Premier Howard said, Chinas development is conducive to China, but also conducive to the world. This reflects his understanding and support of Chinas peaceful development. Anyone without bias will see, China in
22、the pursuit of their own development at the same time, is taking actions in the world to play a responsible role. Generally speaking, in the following ten aspects:- China attaches great importance to the development of the social productive forces and improve the peoples material and cultural life l
23、evel, is committed to promoting the cause of human progress. China has successfully solved theproblem of feeding a population of 1300000000, lifted over 200 million people out of poverty, in the national basic universal compulsory education for 9 years,offers to help about 60000000 disabled people,
24、providing equal development opportunities to all ethnic groups. Social stability at present China, people live and work in peace. Chinas development and stability is the biggest contribution to the world peace and prosperity.- China through the summary of practical experience, has embarked on a road
25、 of scientific development. China insists to save resources, protect environmentas a basic national policy, strive to build a resource-saving, environment-friendly society, promote the comprehensive coordinated and sustainable economic and social development. Chinas development will not pose a threa
26、t to the world.Stand on ones own - China pursues peaceful foreign policy, his position is determined according to the right and wrong things itself. China adheres topursue peace, promote development of cooperation in international affairs,strictly abide by the Charter of the United Nations mission a
27、nd universally recognized norms of international relations, not with other countries on the basis of ideology relationship, form alliance with any other country, in the five principles of peaceful coexistence and friendly countries.- China firmly safeguarding world peace, is the international system

China through APEC, the Shanghai cooperation organization, China ASEAN cooperation, the Greater Mekong sub regional cooperation, promote the development of b
30、ilateral and regional cooperation, and promote common prosperity. We argue that regional cooperation should follow the principle of openness, strengthen ties with other countries and international organizations.China - the peaceful resolution of disputes, plays a constructive role in addressing hots
31、pot issues. China on the Korean nuclear issue, the Iranian nuclear issue, the Middle East and other major international consistentlynegotiations standpoint, non traditional security issues, including international cooperation actively to major natural disasters.
