Hu Jintao Rad Quotations

China is ready to expand economic and trade cooperation with Kenya and actively implement the cooperative projects agreed by the two sides in the areas of transportation, telecommunication, electric power, and infrastructure construction,

We're willing to work with the United States to take effective measures to increase China's imports from the United States and work hard to gradually address the trading balances in the two-way trade in the further expansion of our trading ties and economic cooperation,

We intend to bring our GDP up to around 4 trillion US dollars and per capita GDP to around 3,000 US dollars within the next 15 years, so that we will be able to further develop the economy, improve democracy, advance science and education, enrich culture, foster greater social harmony and upgrade the texture of life for the people,

What I would like to stress here is that China does not pursue a huge trade surplus in trade with the United States,

There's no denial that our bilateral trade has developed so fast and to such a large scale it is inevitable that we may have some friction,

The global problem of uneven development is increasingly salient as the gap between the North and South is further widening. There are financial turbulence from time to time and new manifestations of trade barriers and protectionism. We must strengthen international cooperation to seize opportunities and meet challenges together so as to promote balanced and orderly development of the world economy.

We should vigorously promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation on the basis of mutual trust, further reduce restrictions on export of technologies, and remove trade barriers, so as to create a fair, just, reasonable and open environment for trade,

It is indicated by the common call of the two sides to be good neighbors, friends, comrades and partners for ever,

The strategic partnership between China and the European Union is of immense importance, not just in terms of trade and the economy, but also in terms of our cooperation in all the major political issues the world faces,

Bilateral trade might double to over 300 billion US dollars in 2010, ... nothing can stop the trend of economic integration and trade development.

We both agreed to upgrade the relationship into a strategic partnership, ... Never has our relationship been more important than today.

should work actively to establish and improve a multilateral trading system that is open, fair and non-discriminatory.

The frictions and problems that may arise in this rapid development of two-way trade may be properly addressed through consultations,

The two sides have expressed the readiness to gradually realize trade balance through joint efforts in the process of development,

Hence, to jointly promote balanced and orderly development of the world economy, all countries, major economies in particular, should not only adopt responsible economic policies to introduce necessary economic restructuring, keep major currencies reasonably stable and prevent trade protectionism, but also intensify dialogues on macro-economic policies and, most importantly, coordination on major issues that bear on the overall development of the world economy and the common interest of all countries,
