January 11, 2011, Monaco
Sir,
Mr. President,
Ladies and gentlemen, friends,
very grateful City Sir give me the opportunity, in the new year, is also the second decade of this century, the starting point of this important moment with our friends to meet.
but this year I'm doing is not easy. When I accepted the invitation, Mr. President, to check the Monaco Mediterranean Foundation's Web site. Over the past few years in the Foundation's list of invited speakers, I see many familiar and respected names such as President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, Barr prime minister. To me, I know, Mr. President a very difficult task.
Fortunately, my good friend Edmund Bristol Royal Dean are here today. His insights on international relations scholars in China are often cited. I feel very at ease around him. Thank you for the compliment just hope my report will not make you feel too boring.
President suggested that I talk about China-EU relations. This topic is very timely, as Vice Premier Li Keqiang has just concluded visit to three European countries. New Year, Chinese leaders will visit Europe as a destination for the first time, sent out a strong positive signal: China attaches great importance to relations with Europe, in the European economy is facing hard times temporarily, China supports the EU to remain united, prosperous and stable, the EU is willing to help each other, work together to address the crisis and achieve mutual benefits.
currently has three outstanding features of Sino-EU relations: relations are developing rapidly, the field of comprehensive partnership, cooperation has broad prospects.
past 35 years, China-EU relations have made rapid development cooperation has undergone huge changes. Diplomatic relations were established bilateral trade volume increased from 2.4 billion dollars a year to expand to nearly 479.7 billion U.S. dollars last year, an increase of nearly 200 times. EU to maintain China's largest trading partner, largest export market status, China has become the EU's second largest export market. In the investment field, the EU is China's fourth largest source of foreign investment, as at the end of 2009, total EU-27 countries to establish enterprises in China, 31874. 27 countries in the EU set up nearly 1,400 direct investment enterprises, and create 1.5 million jobs.
partnership between China and the EU covering all areas of social development. The two sides have so far established more than 60 dialogue mechanisms are frequent exchanges at all levels, over the past year almost all the Chinese leaders have visited Europe. In traditional industries, Airbus, Areva, Siemens, Alstom, PSA Peugeot Citroen and other major companies in Europe have achieved excellent performance in China. In the high-tech field, ZTE and Huawei R & D centers in France, France Telecom, Vodafone, Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent, Telefonica, Nokia, and Ericsson have increased their investment in China. In culture and education in science and technology, following the hugely successful Sino-French Culture Year, China and Germany, Spain, Italy Culture Year have been held; Western organize language years later, the French language will be kicked off on.
showed vibrant development of China-EU cooperation prospects. On the one hand, China has firmly supported the EU integration process, especially since the euro since the birth of the support. Because China and the EU share broad common interests, China is accelerating the transformation of the mode of development, the EU countries hope to learn advanced technology and experience; the same time, China's rapid urbanization, industrialization process and provide a vast market for the EU countries.
the other hand, the development of China-EU relations is to safeguard world peace and stability and promoting common prosperity needs. The world today is undergoing profound changes, challenges and security threats to global prominence. China and the EU share broad common world view of the situation, it should be in international affairs, strengthen communication and coordination.
In short, the present multi-polar world, diversification and democratization trends, different political systems, different levels of development should respect each other as equals, respect each other's core interests and major concerns. China-EU relations should be such a model of international relations.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
President suggested to me in the list of questions, the Sino-US relations and China-Africa relations highlight the location. Thank you for these two specific issues, I would like to introduce the background of these two issues, that is, China's foreign policy.
Foreign committed to three goals, is to maintain world peace and promoting mutually beneficial cooperation and international responsibility.
China pursues an independent foreign policy of peace. Specifically, mutual respect, equal treatment, mutual non-interference in internal affairs, which is China's handling of relations among the basic criteria. We stand for maintaining the diversity of the world, diversity, and stands for peaceful resolution of conflicts between nations, differences and disputes, against the arbitrary use of force or threat of force.
China's opening up strategy of mutual benefit and win-win. China's rapid economic and social development over 30 years of experience tells us that opening up and cooperation is the only way for China to achieve its own development. 9 years of China's accession to the WTO, has been fully honor the commitments, and will further open markets to expand and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with all countries to achieve win-win situation.
China's efforts to match the commitment and strength of international responsibility. One is actively involved in addressing the financial crisis, climate change and other global issues of international cooperation to promote the Korean nuclear issue, Iranian nuclear and other hot issues. Second, actively participate in the international system, the international order to the reasonable, balanced, inclusive direction. The third is to actively participate in advancing the development agenda, increasing aid to developing countries efforts to work with all countries towards the UN Millennium Development goals.
around these goals, we actively expand exchanges and cooperation with developed countries, increase mutual trust, enhance cooperation. Strengthening solidarity and cooperation with developing countries, deepen traditional friendship and safeguard common interests. Deepening good-neighborly friendship with neighboring countries and pragmatic cooperation and safeguarding regional peace and stability and promoting common development and prosperity.
return to the specific issue, Sino-US relations have maintained stable development in the 21st century to establish active cooperation of building comprehensive relationship in the position of mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields both steady progress in the global issues and regional hot issues to maintain effective communication and coordination. In this spirit, a few days after President Hu Jintao will pay a state visit to the United States were important.
some time, some media on the so-called I do not agree to this, it does not fit the facts, does not conform to China's policy, but does not meet the president Edmund Bristol Royal incisive analysis on the international situation.
In fact, although China's GDP ranks second in the world, but these macroeconomic data divided by 1.3 billion and concluded that China will be a long period of the ranks of developing countries. But also in the globalization, the rapid development of multi-polar world, increasingly interconnected between countries. China has always advocated that international matters should not and can not by one or two countries have the final say.
on China-Africa relations between the two sides have a long tradition of strong friendship. For half a century, China provided substantial assistance to Africa and selfless assistance. China-aided to the hospital, schools, roads, factories, farms more than 500 infrastructure projects, including the 1,800 km-long Tanzania-Zambia Railway, Mauritania, the most famous friendship between Hong Kong and other items. China has provided African countries, nearly 3 million scholarships to 47 African countries sent 18,000 doctors, treat patients with 200 million people. China to provide aid to African countries, accumulated over 10 billion U.S. dollars, debt relief of about 30 billion U.S. dollars.
the China-Africa Cooperation was said to be First, in recent years, growing China-Africa development cooperation, finance, tourism, aviation, environmental protection has become a new area of China-Africa cooperation, the new bright spot. Africa is also in a multilateral framework to address climate change and other global issues and support each other and strengthen cooperation. Second, China imports from Africa are far less than American and European countries resources. China's oil imports from Africa account for only 13% of Africa's oil exports, while the United States and Europe are more than 30%. Worldwide investment in African oil fields, China accounted for only 1 / 16.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
On the relationship between China and the world, we certainly can not ignore the indispensable part of which is the relationship between China and Monaco. The two characteristics that bilateral relations are very prominent, and one huge differences in national conditions, and second, cooperation implies potential.
China is the largest developing country, the world's second largest economy, its per capita GDP ranks 100th in the world. Monaco is only 2 square kilometers of territory, population 3.4 million, of which only 8,000 Monaco citizens, but it is not only the world's most densely populated, is the largest country in the density of wealth.
China-EU relations, as I have, as expected, that bilateral relations between countries should become a model. Because Morocco is the difference between the potential for bilateral cooperation. Since the 50s of last century, taken by the Government of Monaco diversified, high value-added and non-polluting economic development, and actively promote the financial, insurance, tourism and other tertiary industries. Monaco, now 50 million tourists each year, equivalent to 15 times its population. China is accelerating the transformation of the current mode of development, economic restructuring, and growth of tertiary industry, the development of the green economy. These are precisely the advantages of Monaco.
Happily, over the past year stable development of Sino-Moroccan relations. In Monaco I would like to thank the support of the Shanghai World Expo. 8 years ago, it is in Monaco, the right to host the World Expo Shanghai successfully. Monaco actively participate in Shanghai World Expo, Prince Albert II of Monaco personally went to Shanghai to attend the National Museum Day. When the World Expo successfully closed, the Monaco Pavilion to receive visitors 2.3 million, equivalent to Monaco 4.5 times the number of tourists each year. Shanghai World Expo will greatly promote mutual understanding between the two peoples and friendship and pragmatic cooperation and Moldova will provide a broader space.
is especially gratifying is that with the deepening of non-governmental exchanges between the two countries, Momo Monaco resident population of more than 700 people are learning Chinese, the existing, equivalent to one fiftieth of the total population, the proportion in the country in the forefront. Last year, when the National Day reception was held in Monaco, Albert I have more than 30 school children were invited to learn Chinese. Several of them have come here today, they represent the future of friendship and Morocco.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
In reply to a question, Mr. President, please allow me to talk about the development status and prospects.
2010, China completed a comprehensive The course of the past 5 years, China's economic and social development of our proud achievements.
the past 5 years, China's macroeconomic stable operation, 2006 to 2009, GDP growth was 11.6%, 13%, 9.6%, 9.1%. Growth rate in 2010 is estimated at around 10%, far more than 5 years ago, the average annual growth of 7.5% target. To optimize the economic structure in 2010 during the need to contribute to economic growth rate of 90% or more. Significantly improve the efficiency of resource use, energy consumption per unit of GDP by about 20%, 90% of energy consumption by domestic production. People's living standards continued to improve, urban and rural basic medical insurance coverage for more than 90%, the new rural social pension insurance to start a pilot. Progress made in building democracy and legal system, the country more than 60 million administrative villages, 95% of the village committee to implement direct elections.
future development of our difficulties and challenges on the road to keep a clear mind. China and developing countries, population, weak economic foundation, a very big aggregate divided by 1.3 billion, will become a small number; but a very small detail, multiplied by 1.3 billion, will become a big problem. Chinese urban and rural and regional development is uneven income of urban residents was 3.3 times that of rural residents, the eastern region's per capita GDP is 2.3 times the western region. Resources and environmental pressure, rapid growth of more than 30 years and also paid a heavy price for resources and the environment. Economic structure is also unreasonable to rely on export-led economic growth in the long-term, the economic contribution of domestic demand is still relatively low.
Currently we are developing The next 5 years we will strive to achieve stable and rapid economic growth, improved economic structure, and comprehensively improve the income of residents, social, significant progress, continue to push forward reform and opening up other five major goals.
2011 years is Face of complex domestic and international economic environment, the Chinese government will take positive sound, prudent and flexible macroeconomic policies, accelerate the transformation of economic development and accelerate economic restructuring, to maintain stable and rapid economic development, promote social harmony and stability.
described above, and I hope that we can more fully and deeply understand China and China has the advantage of the difficulties faced by the determination to overcome the difficulties ahead and the future full of confidence.
Thank you.
