It has played a constructive role and has made new contributions to the promotion of world peace and development.

Here, on behalf of the Chinese government and people, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all the governments and people who have given us our strong support this year.

2011 is China's entry. The 12th Five-Year The opening year of the period. In the new year, the Chinese people will continue to hold high the great banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Under the guidance of Deng Xiaoping theory and the important thought of "Three Represents", we will thoroughly implement the Scientific Outlook on Development, take the theme of scientific development as the theme, accelerate the transformation of the mode of economic development as the main line, implement the proactive fiscal policy and prudent monetary policy, accelerate the adjustment of economic structure, strive to protect and improve people's livelihood, deepen reform and opening up, maintain steady and rapid economic development, and promote social harmony and stability. We will adhere to the principle of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong", "Macao people administering Australia" and a high degree of autonomy. We must rely firmly on the broad masses of Hongkong compatriots and Macao compatriots, and strive to maintain Hongkong and Macao's long-term prosperity and stability. We will adhere to the policy of "peaceful reunification and one country, two systems", firmly grasp the theme of peaceful development of cross straits relations and continue to promote cross-strait exchanges and cooperation, and continue to benefit compatriots on both sides of the Straits.

At present, the world's multipolarization and economic globalization are developing in depth, and technological innovation has breeds new breakthroughs. However, the recovery process of the world economy will still be difficult and tortuous, and global problems such as climate change, energy and resources security, food security and public health security will become more prominent. International and regional hot issues will rise one after another, and the opportunities and challenges facing world peace and development are unprecedented. It is in the common interest of all countries to strengthen international cooperation and work together to meet the severe challenges faced by mankind. Taking this opportunity, I would like to reiterate that China will continue to hold high the banner of peace, development and cooperation, adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace, unswervingly follow the path of peaceful development, unswervingly pursue a win-win strategy of opening up, actively develop friendly exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries on the basis of the five principles of peaceful coexistence, actively participate in international cooperation in tackling global problems, and continue to work together with all peoples to promote a harmonious world of lasting peace and common prosperity.

At this moment, many people in the world are suffering from war, poverty, disease, natural disasters and so on. The Chinese people deeply sympathize with their misfortunes and sincerely hope that they will soon get out of their predicament. The Chinese people will continue to provide them with whatever help they can. I believe that as long as people from all over the world work together, the prospects for world development will be better and the well-being of all peoples will continue to grow.

Finally, I wish you all happiness and health in the new year from Beijing. (end)
