国务院总理温家宝当地时间２４日在纽约联合国总部举行的第６３届联合国大会一般性辩论上作了题为《坚持改革开放　坚持和平发展》的发言。

　　China will stick to the path of peaceful development and continue to pursue the policies of reform and opening-up and an independent foreign policy of peace, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said here Wednesday.

　　"The whole world wants to know in what direction China is heading" after the Beijing Olympic Games, Wen said in a speech delivered at the annual high-level debate of the United Nations General Assembly.

　　"Let me tell you in unequivocal terms that China will remain committed to the path of peaceful development, unswervingly pursue reform and opening-up, and continue to adhere to an independent foreign policy of peace," he said.

　　"This is in the fundamental interests of the Chinese people and the people of all other countries. It is also in keeping with the trend of the world."

　　Wen said the success of the Beijing Olympic Games has greatly inspired the Chinese people and given them even more confidence and strength to achieve modernization of the country.

　　However, the premier noted that China is still a "developing country, where productivity remains low and further development is constrained by the shortage of resources, and energy and environmental consequences."

　　To achieve the goal of modernization and build a strong, prosperous, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious country, China will continue its reform and opening-up policy, he said.
