Honorable ambassadors, Mr. Mark Skousen, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, good evening!

Today, to pay back the support and care our friends have shown to our "International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs & Provincial Governors and Mayors", the Organizing Committee of APCA, cooperating with the Hongyu Group, holds this conference in the world-class Xing Hewan in Beijing. We've invited both domestic and foreign guests from all industries to witness the opening of "International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs & Provincial Governors and Mayors". I want to say "thank you" and "welcome" for your presence here.

In last year's "International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs & Provincial Governors and Mayors", we received great support from the Asia-Pacific CEOs leaded by Roberts and People's Government of Shanxi, represented by the Party Secretary as well as the Governor of Shanxi province. And our Summit this year received even more support from the CEOs and the Provincial Governors and Mayors. We will decide on the host city and the time of the summit in about a month on the basis of the applications. The subject-matter of this year's summit is "International Capital and Economic Innovation-to create an City of Innovation with Internation Capital". There's a custom in "International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs & Provincial Governors and Mayors", which is before the summit, we would conduct all-round surveys and cooperations in some areas of the host city, according to the social and economic condition there. And this year, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the success of the Red Army's Long March, we decide to organize a New Economic Long March for the Asia-Pacific CEOs. With regard to the regional gap in China's economic cooperation with other countries, this is a conducive activity aimed at promoting all-round international cooperation in China.

Members of the New Economic Long March for the Asia-Pacific CEOs include famous CEOs and well-known economists in the Asia-Pacific region. The Asia-Pacific CEOs will bring with them international capital into the beautiful and mysterious virgin land with great commercial opportunities in China. I hope that this event can provide impetus to China's marginal economy and drive Asia-Pacific capital into western China. The "International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs & Provincial Governors and Mayors" attach great importance to the Asia-Pacific economy and the Chinese economy. China benefits a lot from international economic integration. We hope our summit can provide a platform for the positive interaction between China's economy and the economy in other Asia-Pacific countries.

We hope that through our International Cooperation Summit for Asia-Pacific CEOs & Provincial Governors and Mayors, we can create a miracle of cooperation and regional development. I, on behalf of the summit, thank you again for your presence here. Thank you for your sincere cooperation and active participation! Thank you all!
