——在新年招待會上的致辭

（2009年12月22日）

國務院新聞辦公室主任 王 晨

　　女士們、先生們、朋友們：

　　大家晚上好！

　　在2009年即將過去，新的一年即將來臨之際，我們大家在這裡愉快相聚。首先，我代表國務院新聞辦公室向出席招待會的駐華使節、新聞官員、中外傳媒界及其他各方面的朋友們表示熱烈的歡迎！

　　2009年是新世紀以來我國經濟發展最為困難的一年。國際金融危機使全球也包括中國經濟社會發展遇到嚴峻挑戰。面對複雜形勢，中國政府果斷決策，從容應對，實行積極的財政政策和適度寬鬆的貨幣政策，全面實施應對金融危機的一攬子計劃，努力化挑戰為機遇，有效遏止了經濟增長下滑態勢。我國各項事業建設也取得了新的進展。

　　在這一年裏，國務院新聞辦公室圍繞慶祝中華人民共和國成立60週年、應對國際金融危機、經濟增長、社會民生、節能減排、環境和生態建設等各方面問題舉辦了一系列新聞發佈會，就國防、減災、西藏民主改革50年、新疆的發展與進步、民族政策等發表白皮書，多次組織境外記者集體採訪活動，向世界介紹一個真實的中國，闡述我國政府對各種重大問題的政策、立場和主張。我們在國內外舉辦了慶祝新中國成立60週年研討會、中非合作論壇—新聞研討會、中日媒體人士對話、中韓媒體高層對話、第二屆中英互聯網圓桌會議、第三屆中美互聯網論壇等國際交流活動，邀請拉美國家媒體高級考察團等多批外國媒體負責人來華參訪交流，舉辦第六期非洲國家政府官員新聞研修班，與各國媒體和政府新聞機構坦率對話，真誠交流，開展合作，增進了相互理解與互信。經國務院授權，我們組織制定和發表了《國家人權行動計劃（2009-2010）》，引起關注和積極反響。支持中國人權研究會的近百名人權高官和專家學者參加第二屆北京人權論壇，全面促進人權事業發展，積極開展國際人權對話與合作。我們還舉辦了“感知中國”、“西藏發展論壇”等文化活動，為世界各國人民近距離了解中華文化、中國發展現狀提供了窗口和平臺。媒體界朋友非常重視，積極報道，客觀評論，為這些活動的成功舉辦營造了良好的氛圍。在場的各位朋友也給予了鼎力支持。在此，我謹向各位朋友為真實客觀報道中國所作的積極努力表示衷心的感謝！

　　2010年是我國實施“十一五”規劃的最後一年。中國將舉辦上海世博會和廣州亞運會。我們真誠歡迎世界各國朋友尤其是媒體界朋友來中國觀看和報道世博會、亞運會。我們將認真執行外國常駐新聞機構和外國記者採訪條例，也願意並將繼續為記者朋友全面、及時、準確地了解中國經濟社會發展情況提供一如既往的服務。我們將通過舉辦媒體研討會、新聞研修班、雙邊或多邊論壇等形式，坦率溝通，真誠交流，開展合作，繼續與各國媒體和政府新聞機構增進相互理解與互信。在新的一年裏，國務院新聞辦將以更加積極開放的姿態，向世界傳播中國的聲音，為世界各國了解一個繁榮發展、民主進步、文明開放、和平和諧的中國而繼續努力。

　　女士們、先生們、親愛的朋友們：新年即將來臨，在這裡我代表國務院新聞辦公室的副主任和同事們提前向各位送上新年的祝福。祝大家身體健康，工作愉快，闔家歡樂，萬事如意！

　　現在我提議大家舉杯，乾杯!

　　謝謝大家！

Taking a More Open Approach to Communicate China’s Voice to the World

--Address by Minister Wang Chen at New Year Reception

(December 22, 2009)

　　Ladies and gentlemen,

　　Dear friends:

　　Good evening!

　　Today we have great pleasure to get together here when the New Year is drawing closer. First of all, on behalf of the State Council Information Office, I wish to extend warm welcome to foreign diplomats, press officials and friends from Chinese and foreign media circles.

　　The year 2009 stands as the most difficult year for China’s economic development since the beginning of the new century. The international financial crisis poses severe challenges to economic and social development in the whole world, including China. Faced with the complicated situation, the Chinese Government made resolute decisions to adopt a positive fiscal policy and a moderately easy monetary policy, and implemented a package of plans to tackle the financial crisis. Through these efforts, we have successfully converted challenges into opportunities, and have reversed the economic downturn. Moreover, new progress has been achieved in various areas in China.

　　In 2009, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences on themes such as celebrating the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, tackling international financial crisis, economic growth, people’s livelihood, energy conservation and emission reduction, environmental and ecological protection. We published white papers on national defense, disaster relief, 50 years of democratic reform in Tibet, development and progress in Xinjiang, and China’s ethnic policy. We also organized groups of foreign journalists to cover events in China. Through these efforts, we hope to present a true China to the rest of the world, and to explain the Chinese Government’s policies and positions on various major issues. Moreover, we organized international exchanges such as seminars in China and other countries to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, press seminar within the framework of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China-Japan media dialogue, China-ROK high-level media dialogue, the second China-UK Internet Roundtable and the third China-US Internet Industry Forum. We invited groups of foreign media executives to visit China, such as the delegation of high-ranking media executives from Latin American countries and the sixth Seminar for African Press Officials and Journalists. We have also conducted frank dialogues, sincere exchanges and fruitful cooperation with foreign media and government information institutions, thereby enhancing mutual understanding and trust. Entrusted by the State Council, we formulated and published National Human Rights Action Plan of China (2009--2010), attracting extensive attention and positive response. We helped China Society of Human Rights to invite nearly 100 human rights officials and scholars from 26 countries to attend the second Beijing Human Rights Forum, promoting the development of human rights and facilitating international dialogue and cooperation in the field of human rights. We also organized cultural events such as “Experience China”, “Tibet Development Forum”, providing a window and a platform for people in other countries to have a close look at the Chinese culture and China’s developments. Friends from media circles attached importance to these events, and offered positive coverage and objective comments, creating a favorable atmosphere. Friends present here also contributed to the success of these events. I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to sincerely thank all friends for your efforts in covering China in a truthful and objective manner.

　　The year 2010 will be last year for China to implement its “11th Five Year Plan”. World Expo will be held in Shanghai, and Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou. We sincerely welcome friends around the world, especially friends from the media circles to visit China to cover World Expo and Asian Games. We will faithfully implement the Regulations on News Coverage by Permanent Offices of Foreign Media Organizations and Foreign Journalists, and continue to provide service to help journalists report China’s socio-economic developments in a comprehensive, timely and accurate manner. We will hold media workshops, press seminars, bilateral or multilateral forums to conduct frank communication, sincere exchanges and fruitful cooperation. We will further strengthen mutual understanding and trust with foreign media and government information institutions. In 2010, the State Council Information Office will adopt a more open approach to communicate China’s voice to the world. We will make further efforts to help the world understand a prosperous, democratic, open, peaceful and harmonious China.

　　Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends: The New Year is only a few days away. On behalf of vice ministers and colleagues of the State Council Information Office, I would like to extend New Year’s greetings to all of you in advance. I wish you good health, successful career, happy family reunion and good luck in everything!

　　Now, I propose a toast for the New Year. Cheers!

　　Thank you!
