May I begin by congratulating the publication of China's Diplomacy（2002 edition）.
The year 2001 marked the beginning of the new century. It was no ordinary year, but one of convoluted changes in the international situation. In particular, the September 11th incident led to profound readjustments in international relations and rising uncertainty in the global security environment. Our world is indeed not a tranquil place.
Nonetheless, peace and development remain the theme of our times. Multipolarization and globalization have kept developing amidst twists and turns. Overall relaxation and local tensions will continue to characterize the current international situation and that of the coming period.
The drastic turns of events in the world have not deterred us from seeing the opportunities, making pioneering efforts and achieving notable success under the correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Jiang Zemin at its core and with the strong support of our people and the close cooperation of the various departments.
Firmly pursuing an independent foreign policy of peace, China is dedicated to strengthening its friendly relations and cooperation with all the countries in the world on the basis of Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. China was more active than ever before on the multilateral diplomatic front. By successfully sponsoring the 9th Informal APEC Leadership Meeting, China helped inject new vitality into world economic recovery. And by actively participating in international counter-terrorism cooperation, China played a constructive role in the global fight against terror.
The propositions and actions of China projected an image of a peaceful, responsible, and justice up-holding country and won her extensive acclaim in the international community. China's diplomacy and foreign policy have significantly contributed to the maintenance of world peace and promotion of common development. At the same time, it has secured a sound external environment for the development of Chinese-style socialism and the reunification of the motherland.
Presenting a comprehensive and systematic sum-up of the changing international situation and China's diplomatic work in 2001 to the public at home and abroad is a job that is highly called for, but not at all easy. China's Diplomacy （2002 edition） deserves our commendation for having largely fulfilled that goal. What needs to be pointed out, in particular, is that China's Diplomacy has succeeded in being innovative compared with past editions. The book we have now is richer in contents, smoother in style, more succinct in language and contains more pictures. I am sure it will be more enthusiastically received by the readers.
China's Diplomacy is compiled and published by the relevant departments of the Foreign Ministry. I hope that they will continue to carry forward the spirit of innovation and professionalism and make fresh progress in making the book a better source of theory, policy and knowledge, thus contributing to greater publicity of China's foreign policy and diplomatic efforts and closer exchanges between China and other countries.
