Jiang: China Remains Developing Nations' Friend
China was, is and will always be a trustworthy friend
of the developing countries, Chinese President Jiang
Zemin said in New York Friday.
In his speech at the breakfast he hosted in honor of
the leaders from the developing world, Jiang put
forward a four-point principle: sincerity and
friendship, equal treatment; increasing coordination and
strengthening cooperation; tapping potentials and
learning from each other's strong points to offset
one's weakness; and uniting as one to open up good
future.
Jiang said that it is imperative for the developing
nations to unite and push forward the establishment
of a just, fair and new international political and
economic order in a bid to change their own fate.
Jiang pointed out that the developing countries,
which have effectively promoted the development of
the multipolarization in the world, are a very
important force in the international community.
On behalf of the guests present at the breakfast,
South African President Thabo Mbeki, who is also
chairman of the Non-aligned Movement, expressed his
full agreement with China's stance on the South-South
Cooperation.
Other leaders present at the breakfast were Olusegun
Obasanjo, Nigerian president and chairman of the
Group of 77; Seyyed Khatami, Iranian president and
chairman of the Organization of Islamic Conference;
Yasser Arafat, Palestinian president and chairman of
the Arab League Council; Gnassingbe Eyadema,
president of Togo and chairman of the Organization of
African Unity; Tran Duc Luong, Vietnamese president
and chairman of the Association of Southeast Asian
Nations; Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika;
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of Bangladesh; and
Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi.
Jiang and the leaders present are in New York t
attend the Millennium Summit, which kicked off
Wednesday at the UN
headquarters.
