中国国务院总理李克强周三在海南与博鳌亚洲论坛理事长潘基文以及其他理事会成员举行会面。
 

 

Li congratulated the BFA board of directors on its achievements last year. He said the theme of this year's BFA annual conference is "Shared Future, Concerted Action, Common Development," which means countries should help each other, enhance communication, coordinate³ their actions, uphold inclusive rather than exclusive development, share achievements and realize win-win results.

 

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, particularly after the reform and opening up drive in 1978, China has underscored huge economic and social development achievements, said Li, adding that China remains⁴ the world's largest developing country and it still has a long way to go to comprehensively achieve modernization⁵.

 

"China advocates maintaining multilateralism, respecting diversity of civilizations and allowing countries to explore their own development path according to their national conditions," Li said.

 

The premier said China will continue to deepen reform and further open up, which will not only help China achieve its goal of modernization, but also contribute to global development and prosperity.

 

Ban Ki-moon, former Russian prime minister Viktor Zubkov, and Gloria Macapagal Arroyo⁶, speaker of the House of Representatives of the Philippines and former Philippine president, congratulated China on the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and said China's development achievements are unparalleled in human history.
