I wish to thank you for accepting my invitation to share your evening with my colleagues and me. These have been very pleasant days in Beijing, and I’m happy that our visit to Beijing should conclude in such a-warm atmosphere.
The world-wide excitement created by China is found in your willingness to face challenges, and in your genius in organizing to Chinese people to face challenges with you.
Your government has awakened a spirit in your people, a spirit of cooperation, of involvement, and of self-discipline. We have yet a lot to learn from your endeavor.
We are leaving Beijing tonight, heartened with the agreement we have reached, cheered by the frankness and fullness of our discussions, grateful for the hospitality you have shown us.
