------------------------------------------------------------------------Jian
g Zemin, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central
Committee, urged publicity departments nationwide to highlight China's drive
to accelerate its development in the new century on Wednesday, January 10.
Development holds the key to resolving the difficulties China faces and to
ensuring Chinese people's faith and confidence in the future of socialism
and the motherland, Jiang said, adding that prominence should be given to
the campaign of seizing the opportunities and speeding up the country's
development.
Jiang made the remarks at a national conference attended by heads of
publicity departments of provincial CPC committees.
Present at the meeting were Li Lanqing, a member of the Standing Committee
of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau, and other senior Party
officials including Ding Guan'gen, who presided over the meeting, Li
Tieying, Zhang Wannian, Luo Gan, Qian Qichen, and Zeng Qinghong.
In his address, Jiang praised the achievements made by CPC's publicity
departments at various levels, adding that ideological publicity is the work
of the whole Party and it is linked to the general situation of the reform,
development and stability as well as the building of socialism with Chinese
characteristics.
Jiang expressed his hope that the Party's publicity workers would take the
new century as a new starting point to promote the publicity work to a
higher level.
He urged the whole Party and the whole nation to double the efforts for
China's economic and social development, in order to constantly increase the
country's economic power, the capability of its national defense, and the
cohesive strength of the nation.
He pledged to continue advocating the guiding status of Marxism and to
constantly arm the whole Party and educate the Chinese people with
Marxism-Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory, which are the
fundamental ideological base for the Party to closely unite and lead the
people to strive together.
The news media is the mouthpiece of the Party and the people and should
publicize the spirits of the Party Central Committee in a precise, clear and
vivid manner and reflect the will of the people truthfully and completely,
Jiang stressed.
He urged them to publicize scientific theories, spread advanced culture, and
advocate justice and scientific spirit, so as to improve the entire Chinese
people's quality on ideology, ethics, science and culture.
To commemorate the 80th founding anniversary of the CPC by further carrying
out the campaign to study the "Three Representatives" theory is a major
issue for the Party in the first year of the new century, Jiang said.
He urged them to study well, publicize and implement the theory in order to
help constantly enhance the level of leadership and governance of the CPC,
to increase the Party's capabilities to stave off corruption, prevent
crisis, and resist risks.
A nation without a strong will has no future, Jiang said. He urged to
advocate the spirit of ideological emancipation, seeking truth from facts,
and being bold, creative, hard working, practical and selfless.

Cambodian Leaders Attach Importance to Development of Sino-Cambodian Ties
Cambodian leaders Wednesday all expressed the hope that they would further
enhance and strengthen the ties of traditional friendship and cooperation
between Cambodia and China.
Chea Sim, president of Senate, Norodom Ranariddh, president of National
Assembly, and Prime Minister Hun Sen announced this here on Wednesday when
they separately met with visiting delegation of the Chinese People's
Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Chea Sim expressed thanks to the Chinese government and the Chinese people
for their support and assistance to the Cambodian government and the
Cambodian people in various historic periods of the country, especially for
the positive role played by the Chinese government in politically and
peacefully resolving the Cambodian issue.
Norodom Ranariddh briefed on the Cambodian situations to the Chinese guests,
saying that now Cambodia remains stable and has entered into an economic
development period. The Cambodian people attributed this to the role played
by King Sihanouk and the unity and cooperation between the two major ruling
parties -- the Cambodian People's Party and the Funcinpec, he said.
He stressed that Cambodia supports "one China" policy.
When meeting with the CPPCC delegation in the Council of Ministers this
afternoon, Prime Minister Hun Sen said that economic cooperation has
increasingly become an issue of common concern in the process of global
economic integration.
The Cambodian premier stressed that the steady economic development in China
would play an increasingly bigger role in safeguarding legitimate rights of
developing nations in the region.
On Thursday, the CPPCC delegation will tour the Angkor Wat, one of the seven
ancient building wonders in the East. And the delegation is expected to
conclude its official visit to Cambodia on Friday.
