In this golden autumn season of October, the APEC CEO Summit 2001 solemnly opens in shanghai today. On behalf of the Chinese Government, I wish to warmly welcome all of you to Shanghai, China and also to offer cordial congratulation on the opening of APEC CEO Summit 2001.

In every APEC CEO Summit, many business leaders across the Asia-pacific would together to discuss the immediate economic issues facing the Asia-Pacific region and even the world, explore development strategies for enterprises, seek better mutual understanding and make joint effort to build the framework of cooperation.

It is fair to cooperation, which gives expression to the long-held APEC spirit of equality and cooperation.
