TextA中国的发展亚洲的机遇

尊敬的各位来宾，女士们，先生们，朋友们：

今天，有机会参加博鳌亚洲论坛2004年年会，我感到十分高兴。

首先，我代表中国政府，对各位朋友的到来，表示热烈的欢迎！

几年来，在亚洲各国以及国际社会的支持下，博鳌亚洲论坛不断发展，在区域性合作进程中发挥着日渐显着的作用，向世界展示了亚洲人民寻求合作共赢得热切愿望。

我们高兴地看到，亚洲形势总体稳定、和平、发展、合作已成为亚洲前进的主流，经过共同努力，亚洲有关国家摆脱了金融危机的阴影，战胜了非典和禽流感疫情的冲击，经济结构调整取得成效，产业升级换代步伐加快，区域合作方兴未艾抗御风险能力不断增强。

亚洲继续是全球最具发展活力的地区之一，也继续是全球贸易的重要增长点之一。

我们对亚洲的发展前景充满信心。

女士们，先生们！

中国的发展离不开亚洲，亚洲的繁荣也需要中国。

中国将坚持和平发展的道路，高举和平、发展、合作的旗帜，同亚洲各国共创亚洲振兴的新局面，努力为人类和平发展的崇高事业做出更大的贡献。

谢谢各位。
