Respected Your Excellency: Thank you very much for your kind words of welcome. This is a happy and memorable for me as well as for my delegation.
China is one of the very earliest cradles of civilization. To come to China is the dream of many people the world over. Therefore, I feel greatly proud and privileged to be your guest here.
In the past decade, the friendly and cooperative relations between our tow countries made headway. Because when we established our relations, we understood that we would develop our friendship on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit.
These are the principles on which we seek friendship with all peoples of the world. It is absolutely vital that all nations, small or big, strong or weak , should conduct their relations with each other on these principles.
