On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of China Daily's founding, I extend warm congratulations and cordial greetings to its staff members, foreign experts and friends.

 

40年来，中国日报发挥自身优势，积极宣介中国改革发展，为讲好中国故事、传播中国声音发挥了重要作用。

Over the past 40 years, China Daily has given full play to its strengths and actively² presented China's reform and development, playing an important role in telling China's story well and making its voice heard.

 

希望中国日报以创刊40周年为新的起点，牢记联接中外、沟通世界的职责，把握大局大势，创新对外话语体系，构建全媒体传播格局，建设高素质队伍，不断提高国际影响力，更好介绍中国的发展理念、发展道路、发展成就，更好展示真实、立体、全面的中国，为促进中国和世界交流沟通作出新的贡献！

It is hoped that China Daily will take the 40th anniversary of its founding as a new starting point and bear in mind its duty to connect the country with the outside world, fully³ grasp the overall situation and trends, innovate⁴ the international discourse⁵ system and establish an all-media communication framework. It should build a high-caliber team and constantly improve its international influence. It should also better introduce China's development philosophy, path and achievements, better present a true, multi-dimensional and panoramic view of China and make new contributions to promoting exchanges and communication between China and the world.
