It is in line with the fundamental interests of the two peoples to enhance our friendship and trust, propel co-operation of mutual benefit, and promote common development,
It is inevitable for China and the United States to have different views on some issues as the two countries have different history, culture and domestic situation,
It is indicated by the common call of the two sides to be good neighbors, friends, comrades and partners for ever,
It is my sincere wish to make joint efforts with you to promote the peaceful and steady development of the cross-Straits relations and create a bright future for the Chinese nation,
History tells us that any attempt by a country to realize its interests through the use of threat or force ... will get nowhere. We will never waver in our commitment to the one-China principle.
We meet in an hour of change and challenge, in a decade of hope and fear, in an age of both knowledge and ignorance. The greater our knowledge increases, the greater our ignorance unfolds.
We must focus on economic development as our central task, making development our top priority and facilitating and all-round progress in economic, political and cultural aspects and in the building of a harmonious society,
We must convey the care and concern of the party and government to tens of thousands of homes,
Hence, to jointly promote balanced and orderly development of the world economy, all countries, major economies in particular, should not only adopt responsible economic policies to introduce necessary economic restructuring, keep major currencies reasonably stable and prevent trade protectionism, but also intensify dialogues on macro-economic policies and, most importantly, coordination on major issues that bear on the overall development of the world economy and the common interest of all countries,
Hence, modernization in China remains a long and uphill journey that will entail many years of hard work,
help the military forces of our two countries to better enhance their mutual understanding and friendship.
The purpose of holding the commemorative meeting is to reiterate our solemn commitments to the principles of the UN Charter and the implementation of the 2000 Millennium Development Goals and the Beijing Declaration and the Platform for Action,
resolutely prevent and combat all types of terrorist activities so as to earnestly safeguard the masses' security and world peace.
Regardless of person or political party and regardless of what he or it has said or done, we are willing to hold talks on developing cross-Strait relations so long as he or it recognizes the 'One China' principle and the 1992 consensus,
