Friends of the world, to the blessing of the New Year!

The people of all ethnic groups in China have worked hard together and worked hard to successfully fight the severe cold and snow disasters in parts of the south and the Wenchuan earthquake in Sichuan. They successfully hosted the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics and successfully completed the Shenzhou-7 manned space mission. The 7th Asia-Europe Meeting was held.

The Chinese people have strengthened friendly exchanges and pragmatic cooperation with the people of all countries in the world, jointly responded to the severe challenges such as the international financial crisis, and made new contributions to safeguarding world peace and promoting common development. This year, the Chinese people solemnly commemorated the 30th anniversary of reform and opening up and made arrangements for continuing to promote reform and opening up on the basis of summing up experience. The people of all ethnic groups in China are eagerly advancing the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and continue to struggle for a better life.
Here, on behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to the people of all countries in the world for their support and enthusiasm.
2019 is a historic year for the Chinese people. Sixty years ago, the establishment of the People’s Republic of China opened a new era in the history of the Chinese nation. Over the past 60 years, China’s face has undergone historic changes, and China’s relations with the world have undergone historic changes. In the new year, we will unswervingly hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics, take Deng Xiaoping Theory and the important thinking of the 'Three Represents' as the guide, thoroughly implement the scientific development concept, and base on expanding domestic demand to keep the economy stable and fast. Growth, accelerate the transformation of development mode and structural adjustment, improve the capacity for sustainable development, deepen reform and opening up, enhance the vitality and motivation of economic and social development, strengthen social construction, accelerate the resolution of difficult issues involving the interests of the people, and promote sound and rapid economic and social development. We will adhere to the principle of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong", "Macao people governing Macao" and a high degree of autonomy. Together with the Hong Kong compatriots and Macao compatriots, we will promote the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and Macao. We will adhere to the principle of "peaceful reunification, one country, two systems", firmly grasp the theme of peaceful development of cross-strait relations, strengthen cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, earnestly seek welfare for compatriots on both sides of the strait, seek peace for the Taiwan Strait, and safeguard the fundamental interests of the Chinese nation.
At present, the world is undergoing major changes and major adjustments. The international situation has remained stable overall. However, the international financial crisis is still spreading and spreading rapidly. The world economic growth has slowed down markedly. International hotspots have arisen one after another. World peace and development are facing various severe problems. challenge. Strengthening international cooperation and jointly meeting challenges is the common aspiration of the people of all countries in the world and the only way to maintain the stability of the international situation and promote the common development of all countries. I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate that China will always follow the path of peaceful development, always pursue an open strategy of mutual benefit and win-win, actively develop exchanges and cooperation with countries around the world, and actively participate in the efforts of the international community to cope with the international financial crisis. To promote the growth of the world economy, promote the progress of human civilization, and continue to work with countries around the world to promote a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.
At this moment, many people around the world are still suffering from war, poverty, disease, disasters and so on. The Chinese people deeply sympathize with their misfortunes and will continue to provide them with the help they can. We sincerely hope that the countries of the world will support each other and help each other to jointly promote world peace, stability and prosperity, and let the people of all countries live a peaceful and beautiful life.
Finally, I wish you all a happy and happy life in Beijing from the new year! ”
