It gives me much pleasure to attend todays press conference and brief you about Chinas foreign aid.中国开展对外援助已经有60个年头，新中国成立以来，中国在致力于自身发展的同时，始终坚持向其他经济困难的发展中国家提供力所能及的援助，承担应尽的国际义务。中国的对外援助对帮助其他发展中国家改善社会经济发展条件，提高自主发展的能力，增加就业和收入，消除贫困，都产生了积极的作用。同时，也促进了中国与其他发展中国家的友好关系和互利互赢。中国同其他发展中国家同甘苦、共患难，树立了南南合作的典范，受到了国际社会的广泛好评。It was 60 years ago that the Peoples Republic of China began to provide aid to other countries. Since the founding of the Peoples Republic, while committing to its own development, China has always provided aid to other developing countries facing economic difficulties as its capacity permits and fulfilled its due international obligation. Chinas aid has helped other developing countries improve conditions for economic and social development, enhance their capacity of independent development, increase employment and income, and reduce poverty. At the same time, it has strengthened Chinas friendship and win-win cooperation with other developing countries. China and other developing countries have gone through thick and thin together in development and set an example of South-South cooperation, which is widely recognized by the international community.我们首次发布中国的对外援助白皮书，目的是全面、客观地介绍中国对外援助的基本情况，让社会各界更好地了解中国的对外援助。我们也希望通过发表援外白皮书，向国际社会和国内各界介绍宣传中国对外援助的基本经验和所取得的主要成就，并向国际社会表明中国致力于全球减贫和发展事业的态度和决心。Chinas Foreign Aid, the whitepaper we release today, aims to give a comprehensive and objective picture of Chinas aid to other developing countries in order to increase the publics understanding of this issue. Through this paper, first ever of its kind, we hope to publicize at home and abroad Chinas basic experience and the achievements it has made in foreign aid, and demonstrate Chinas commitment and resolve in global efforts to reduce poverty and promote development.援外白皮书介绍了中国对外援助的基本政策、资金方式、项目类型和主要领域，还介绍了中国对外援助的行政管理机制和开展国际交流与合作的基本情况。综合起来，白皮书主要阐明了以下几个观点：The white paper gives an overview of the basic policies, financing modes, project types, main areas of Chinas foreign aid, as well as its administrative mechanism and international exchanges and cooperation. In summary, the white paper sets forth the following points:一、中国对外援助属南南合作的范畴，是发展中国家之间的相互帮助。1. Chinas foreign aid falls into the category of South-South Cooperation, and is a kind of mutual assistance among developing countries.二、中国对外援助的宗旨是帮助受援国提高自主发展的能力。2.

Chinas foreign aid features flexible financing modes and various project types, which can best satisfy recipient countries diverse needs in development.五、中国对外援助的重点是低收入发展中国家。援助项目主要集中在工业、农业、教育、医疗卫生、基础设施等民生和经济社会发展等领域。5. The priority of Chinas foreign aid is low-income developing countries.

Chinas development has been closely linked with the rest of the world. In this very tough environment for global development,it is a huge challenge to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals on time.
