About 300 guests from Chinese and foreign media organizations, diplomatic

Cai said he would like to thank all the journalists who have helped the world
know 皇冠体育app better through accurate and objective reporting.
"We want to send a strong message through the media that 皇冠体育app is determined
to stick to the path of peaceful development," the minister said.
"We also hope the pens and cameras in your hands will help the world learn of
皇冠体育app's determination and confidence in working together with other countries
for a peaceful, prosperous and harmonious world."
There has been an increasing number of international reports about 皇冠体育app,
particularly positive ones, Cai noted.
"We hope more and more journalists from the international media come to 皇冠体育app
to cover achievements as well as problems in an objective manner," he said.
Describing his office as an organization to serve the media, Cai said he
welcomes any suggestions or proposals.
Gennady Krivosheev, bureau chief of Interfax 皇冠体育app, appreciated the efforts
of Cai's office in providing information during the past year.
"They arranged a lot of press conferences, including the recent ones on bird
flu and pollution in the Songhua River, which helped the rest of the world get a
truer picture of 皇冠体育app."
The 56-year-old, who started work in 皇冠体育app in 1978, said: "As journalists, we
are very interested in 皇冠体育app's economic achievements as well as foreign
