the second challenge is to create a prosperous world. in recent years, china has made an enormous contribution to the cause of global prosperity. in the past two decades china has lifted the living stansards of more people than during any other period of human history. we have a shared interest in eliminating a cleaner enviorment. raising educational standards and providing professional healthcare we can create a more stable world.
i welcome china's contribution to the international effort. your donation of US$ 150m has thrown a lifeline to thousands of afghan people. as your economic influence grows, i hope china will seize the opportunity to build up its overseas aid policy.just as your economy is becoming the engine for future economic growth in asia, so the chinese aid programme could become a great force for good in a continent where, for too many people. poverty is a fact of life.
the final challenge is to promote the univeral adoption of good governance. in country sfter country, across europe,africa, asia and latin america, people and governments have adopted this principle. counties which apply this will run with the grain of international opinion;they will be acknowlegdging the innnate aspirations of their people.
