Ladies and gentlemen, First of all, I would like to express my heart-felt thanks to our Chinese hosts for their extraordinary arrangements and hospitality, although I know quite clearly that I can never thank them enough.
In the short period of ten days of friendly visit, we have acquired a keen sense of the diversity, dynamism and development of Chin under your policies of reform and opening up to the outside world.
Shanghai is to us a memorable and nostalgic home. During our stay here we have spent a great deal of pleasant time with the Shanghai people—working, shopping, and even touring the city on our bicycles.
These are the happy days. They are good days, important days. We have deeply felt that our friendly and cooperative ties have become extensive, affecting all aspects of our lives: commerce, culture, education, and scientific exchange.
