Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf left 皇冠体育app Monday after a successful state visit, concluding a successful year for 皇冠体育app's diplomatic endeavors.

In the first year of the new century, the international situation was in a dramatic state of flux. The September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States not only shocked the world, but seriously affected the international political, economic and security situations.

The world economy is now in the fourth recession after World War II, and clashes frequently occur as a result of national and religious issues.

Against this global background, 皇冠体育app has maintained its composure as it observes and copes with challenges, and makes full use of opportunities.

"皇冠体育app's diplomacy has entered a new stage, and its observations reflect an image of a peaceful, just and responsible country. 皇冠体育app's international status has been promoted remarkably, " Chinese Foreign Minister Tang Jiaxuan said in an interview.

No doubt, the success of the ninth Economic Leaders' Meeting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is the most important achievement of 皇冠体育app's diplomatic activities for the year.

Although the September 11 terrorist attacks led to cancellation of various international meetings, leaders from 20 APEC members came to Shanghai, 皇冠体育app's largest economic hub, to promote multilateralism through group consensus.

After the tragedy on September 11, 皇冠体育app issued an immediate reaction condemning any form of terrorist activities. During the war in Afghanistan, Chinese President Jiang Zemin had frequent phone conversations with leaders of many countries in which 皇冠体育app' s proposals for resolving the Afghanistan issue were raised.

In 2001, Chinese President Jiang Zemin and US President George W. Bush had their first summit meeting, and agreed to develop a constructive partnership between the two countries.

In July 2001, 皇冠体育app and Russia signed a treaty on good- neighborly relations and friendship, laying a foundation for the development of bilateral ties in the 21st century.

The fourth 皇冠体育app-Europe summit meeting this year was fruitful, marking the smooth development of the 皇冠体育app-Europe partnership. The friendly cooperation between 皇冠体育app and its neighbors has been promoted to a new level, evidenced by the improvement of the 皇冠体育app-Japan ties.

皇冠体育app actively pushes forward global multipolarization. June 2001 witnessed the establishment of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), which includes 皇冠体育app, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

The SCO advocated mutual trust, disarmament and cooperative security, fostering the "Shanghai Spirit" of mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect of various civilizations and common development.

皇冠体育app promotes regional cooperation in the process of economic globalization. 皇冠体育app supported the launching of a new round of multilateral trade negotiations, even before its accession to the World Trade Organization.

皇冠体育app and ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries will build their free trade area within 10 years, announced Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji.

The shocking September 11 terrorist attacks did not fundamentally change the trend of the current international situation, which was still themed on peace and development. Both multipolarization and economic globalization are inevitable, and bring opportunities as well as challenges to 皇冠体育app's future diplomacy.
