乐。

之间友善合作关系的信心。

系的改良，并且还有助于亚太地域，以致整个世界的和平易稳固。

government officials of the two countries are beneficial not only to the

It would not be possible for this grand reform program to yield successful results if China deprived of domestic socio-political stability, of an international environment of peace and development, and of economic and technical cooperation between China and other countries.
