Message

——Gu Mu, Chairman, CISM; Former Vice Premier

Respected delegates, ladies and gentlemen:

    At the opening of the First Beijing International Symposium on “The Prospects for East Asian Cooperation and Development in the Next Ten Years”, on behalf of China Society for Strategy and Management Research may I extend our warmest welcome to all the public figures, distinguished scholars, and friends in the business circle from different countries and Hong Kong, and our sincere congratulations to the Symposium!
    In a changeable world political and economic situation, the significance of the East Asian region as a relatively stable factor in the process of world peace and development is becoming more and more important. Therefore, a symposium focusing on the perspectives for the East Asian cooperation and development in the next ten years will produce profound and far-reaching impact on world peace and progress.
    Friends, ladies and gentlemen:
    The purpose of our efforts made together in the three days is to seek the birth of a new and unified world. We have only one theme: Cooperation and Development. I believe we will succeed, because we are not coming as an integrated world.
    Among all the present today are many new friends as well as our good old friends. I hope we take advantage of this opportunity to promote mutual understanding and friendship. Let us feel free to fully discuss and exchange dieas, make our greatest contributions to the promotion of East Asian economic development, and to the great and glorious cause for world peace and development!
    I wish all the delegates, ladies and gentlemen a pleasant stay and good health in China.
    I wish the Symposium a great success!
    Thank you!

——Robert James Lee Hawke, Former Prime Minister of Australia

    The China Society for Strategy and Management Research, The China Center for International Studies and the Asia Pacific Economy Culture Institute are to be congratulated for organizing this international symposium on “The Prospects for East Asian Cooperation and Development in the Next Ten Years.”
    By any relevant criteria the issues to be covered by this symposium are among the most significant facing the region, and indeed the rest of the world, as we now move towards the twenty first century.
    Within this period we can see Japan surpassing the United States as the world’s largest economy and China proceeding towards becoming an economic colossus. It is desperately important that these facts and their implications for the region and the world, should be understood and not reared; for while knowledge does not necessarily produce sound policy, ignorance is the enemy of that objective.
    Enlightened policies, within each country and for me enlightenment means understanding that a country’s best interests are served by taking account of the legitimate aspirations of others-are not of themselves sufficient to ensure optimal outcomes. There is a need to provide adequate mechanisms and rules for international economic cooperation. This is well recognized by the organizers of the symposium.
    I look forward to participating with distinguished representatives from many countries as well as the host country China, in the knowledge that such meetings will play a part in developing the understanding that can lead to sesible and relevant policies.

——Henry A. Kissinger, Former State Secretary of U.S.A.

    On the occasion of the first international symposium sponsored by China Society for Strategy and Management Research and the Center for International Studies of the State Council, I would like to extend my warm regards to all the conference participants. In addressing the prospects for East Asian cooperation and development, the symposium is providing an opportunity for a timely and important discussion on a subject of great interest to China and the United states.
    Although I am unable to be with you, I would like to offer my good wishes for a very successful exchange of views.

——Yoon Sukhun, President, A.P.E.C.I.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

    In the past when our international society was at the mercy of the law of jungle that the stronger prey upon the weaker, the powerful growth of each nation was the most important thing. So each nation was the most important thing. So each of us has done our best in order to make his own nation powerful.
But nowadays, cooperation and compromise among nations become the major premise of international society. There are no more the absolute strong and the absolute weak, no more endless competition, only mutual cooperation and various changes rules the international society.
    In the coming 21st century, our concern will be changed from political ideology to economic value. But the economic value we assembled here to talk with and understand each other not to delegate or contribute for our own nations. As the Korean proverb goes, if they were together whenever happy or not, they could maximize the happiness and minimize the unhappiness. So I think it’s the best way to get over the pain of old days that we ourselves forgive and compromise with each other in the name of friend. Our international friendly ties have to be promoted to get along, transcending both community and national boundaries.
In the history of the past the rule of international society was the strength like the jungle theory, but nowadays a number of friendly nations should communicate and compromise pursuing international understanding and friendship. Let us give and take the wisdom and friendship we desperately need.
