【正文】 ll time to make up for lost ground, if the international munity acts together.In a few days time, the world39。s leading industrialized nations will meet in Hokkaido. I will use the occasion to once again urge donor nations to deliver on their pledges to more than double aid to Africa the continent farthest from the finish line in the MDG race.We need to organize on a war footing to fight malaria, tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases across Africa. This effort can be jumpstarted by providing insecticide treated bednets to every African who requires one. At the same time, we must also increase our focus on maternal health, which influences so many other development indicators yet remains the slowest moving development goal. Finally, we must strengthen primary healthcare systems. In particular, we need to increase and sustain investment in training and supporting health workers with a focus on munitylevel efforts.Given the strong and growing ties to Africa, China has a leading role to play in this effort. You are well on your way to being Africa39。s largest trading partner. And you are lending support to African nations in areas as diverse as infrastructure development, agriculture, mercial exchanges and education and training.If this spirit of ChinaAfrica cooperation is brought to bear on other challenges such as food security and fighting HIV/AIDS China can help propel Africa towards meeting the Millennium Development Goals, in full and on time.Ladies and gentlemen,This global agenda may appear ambitious, but it remains wholly achievable. What it requires is collective and sustained effort. As I noted earlier, the food crisis, climate change and the world39。s development emergency are not concerns for any one country or any particular region. They represent a plex global challenge that demands a prehensive international response.The United Nations is the natural forum for mounting this response. Our Organization provides a multilateral platform for implementing concrete actions on all fronts. But the UN cannot act alone we require the leadership and guidance of our Member States.This is an area where China stands tall. You are leading activities of the UN as one of the five permanent members of the Security Council and your financial and peacekeeping contribution is growing.China will need to rise even higher in both rankings if we are to meet growing global challenges. Today, the entire United Nations system expects China to help lead on the international agenda. For my part, I look to China not simply because of its prominent position in the United Nations and within the broader world munity。 I do so because the responsibility of this nation is growing day by day.China has achieved economic growth that is the envy of countries around the world. You have made progress in reducing poverty on a scale unprecedented in human history. And through trade and investment, you are already helping others replicate your success.China39。s constructive engagement is particularly evident in Northeast Asia a region that is beginning to work together in many areas of mon interest and concern. I am particularly heartened at the trilateral dynamics of Japan, Korea and China. These three countries are increasingly looking to their mon future as friendly neighbours with global interests and responsibilities. I wholeheartedly wele their agreement to hold their first trilateral summit, and also to cooperate on climate change, the food and energy crisis, and assistance to Africa. All three are working together as part of the multilateral sixparty talks on denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, a process that carries the most realistic promise to defuse one of the gravest security threats in the region. Increasing trilateral cooperation matters a lot in addressing environmental and other challenges, all these issues are central to the United Nations. It is only natural and indeed necessary that this evolving trilateral partnership and the UN work together.As SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations, I look forward to working closely with the people and Government of China to advance our shared goals, and to meet the great challenges of our day.Ladies and gentlemen,China39。s remarkable and peaceful development augurs well for the ing AsiaPacific century. Through continued and constructive engagement in the world and in the work of the United Nations, China can help ensure that this is also everyone39。s era.As you all know, in just a few weeks the world39。s leading athletes will arrive in Beijing to pete for Olympic glory. A select few will make it to the medals platform, many will not. But if, as I expect, they all pete in the true spirit of the Olympics challenging each other to be stronger, to reach higher, and to go faster than it is the Olympic movement that will emerge as the true winner in Beijing.As in the Olympics, there is no doubt in anyone39。s mind that China is a medal contender in race for development and prosperity. But if China39。s rise can help and guide others along the way, then all humanity can collectively reach for gold.This, dear students, is your challenge. For you inherit not just China39。s future, but the task of helping to build the wellbeing of the world.I know you are all ready to take on this challenge. And I, for one, am glad to wele you, and the great nation of China, on board.Xie Xie. Thank you very much.14 / 1
