This is a pioneering conference of historic significance. It reflects the common desire of developing countries for world peace and development and for international exchanges and cooperation.
This conference shows the growth of developing countries in recent years, signifies the new changes in the entire international relations, and marks a growing trend toward multi-polarity.
This conference will exert a positive impact on the shaping of a new world political and economic pattern. The establishment of an international relationship calls for new concepts and new approaches.
I believe that a new international relationship should be constructed on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit and enhanced exchanges and cooperation.
