The current international situation continues to undergo profound and complex changes. Peace and development remain the dominant trends of the times. The development of a multi-polarized world and economic globalization is gathering momentum at a rapid rate. Science and technology are developing at a great speed every day, bringing new opportunities to every country. However, the influence of factors of instability and uncertainty is on the increase. Problems such as territorial conflicts, terrorism, the gap between North and the South, the deteriorating environment, and trade barriers are posing serious threats to the peace and development of mankind.
Maintaining world peace and promoting common development are the common wishes of peoples of all countries. The Chinese people are willing to work with peoples of other countries to establish a fair and reasonable international political and new economic order, promote democratization in international relations, respect world diversities, create new concepts of security, and realize the balanced and sustainable development of the world economy. The Chinese people feel deep sympathy for other peoples in the world who are plagued by war, conflict, hunger and poverty. We hope that they will soon be able to embark on the road of peace and development, and we are willing to provide all the assistance we can. We believe that as long as people of all countries and their leaders work hard and with foresight for mankind s future and common interests, cooperate to achieve peace and development, and join hands to conquer difficulties, then we will be able to create a bright future for mankind.
最后，我从北京祝大家在新的一年里幸福安康！
Finally, from here in Beijing I wish you all the best for the New Year!
