江泽民在APEC-2001领导人非正式会议上讲话(2)
I am confident that with the concerted efforts of all its members， APEC will make ever greater achievements through cooperation and participation.
APEC must give firm support to the multilateral trading system， strengthen Ecotech and try to attain the Bogor Goals of realizing trade and investment liberalization before 2010 for developed members and 2020 for developing members. Globalization will grow smoothly and the world economy develop in a sustained and steady manner only when most members of the international community can reap the benefit. The New Economy will bring its potential to the full only when all the members and all sectors of the society participate in it.
To this end， enhancing Ecotech with emphasis on human capacity building and promoting a coordinated development of Ecotech on the one hand and trade and investment liberalization on the other will be an effective way. Human resources are the most valuable. Human capacity building meets our long-term as well as immediate needs. It has now become one of the core areas of APEC cooperation， an area that members enjoy the broadest consensus and the best foundation for closer cooperation. We should translate the strategic choice into strategic action， advancing it steadily and seeking practical results. Governments of member economies must take up their responsibility. At the same time， efforts should be made to mobilize the business and academic communities and bring their enthusiasm and creativity into full play.
Last May， China and Brunei jointly hosted in Beijing the APEC High Level Meeting on Human Capacity Building. The meeting adopted the Beijing Initiative， advocating a tripartite partnership among governments， educational and academic circles and business communities. It represents a useful effort not only for human capacity building but also for Ecotech in wider areas.
To implement the consensus of the Beijing Meeting， the Chinese Government has， in cooperation with some internationally well- known IT firms and educational institutions， launched a follow-up project to the Beijing Initiative. The three-faceted project includes the training of IT specialists， dissemination of Internet knowledge and establishment of a Human Capacity Building Forum. In the next three years， 1，500 high-level Internet specialists will be trained for APEC members free of charge on its on-line training platform. In addition， the Chinese Government will earmark US$2 million for the launch of the “APEC Finance and Development Project” in Shanghai， a project designed to train more financial professionals and enhance APEC members' capacity for a sustainable economic growth.
To meet challenges of the new century， APEC should play a bigger role in promoting regional economic growth and prosperity in light of the realities of the region and the requirements of our times. As the top-level inter-governmental forum for economic cooperation in this region， APEC has contributed significantly to economic development in the Asia-Pacific and the world at large. The APEC Approach， featuring such principles as consensus and voluntarism， tallies with the reality of diversity of the region and holds the key to the success of its member economies through closer cooperation. APEC must build on these successes and give a new dimension to its intensified cooperation in the future.
—— APEC should always stand at the forefront of regional and global economic development， adapt itself to the latest economic situation and characteristics in the region and the world and play an important guiding role in addressing the acute economic problems therein.
—— APEC should take firmer steps toward the Bogor Goals on the basis of respect for diversity and， at the same time， help develop the multilateral trading system in line with the principle of “ open regionalism”。
