China Association For The Promotion Of International Economic And Technological Cooperation's Lament In December

Dear colleagues, comrades, and friends

Time flies like a shuttle, and the annual rings are like water. In the blink of an eye, the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the Year of the Rabbit has arrived, and in another 30 days, the Year of the Dragon will enter. At the opening ceremony of the grand forum held by the Society on January 9th, I said two impromptu words at the beginning: "The jade rabbit flies away from the prosperous golden dragon, and all thoughts begin to land in spring." It was about a year's speed, and it was about striving for the best performance. Although my carelessness caused a poor hosting effect that day. But according to the reactions from all aspects of society, the overall effect is good. From the forums held by the society for several years, this 7th forum is the best in quality, the largest in scale, the most reformed and innovative, and the most influential. This also marked the first successful start of the 2024 learning journey. But this is just the beginning, and we need to focus on doing well throughout the year. Among them, we will continue to deepen our study of the socialist ideology with Chinese characteristics in the new era, carry out the concluding work of the second batch of theme education work determined by the central government, deeply implement the spirit of the Central Economic Work Conference, and firmly grasp the overall tone of economic work development of "seeking progress while maintaining stability, promoting stability through progress, and establishing first and then breaking through". Based on our own actual situation, we will revise and implement the key points of the 2024 work of the Society, Striving for the best joint development state of unity and cohesion, and so on, are our crucial tasks.

The times require people, time waits for no one. This is the main development situation that our national level society is facing. So, we must learn that all staff must firmly grasp the overall situation of the Party and the state's work, find the position to assist the national strategic development, and do a good job in the "four services", which is an urgent, necessary, and must be implemented responsibility at present. We must strive forward with high efficiency and innovative breakthroughs in development, and establish the brand image of a national level society. We must also be humble and cautious, learn from our brothers, and operate in a low-key manner, as Wang Anshi, a great writer of the Song Dynasty, said in the famous poem "Ode to the Plum Blossom": "There are several branches of plum blossoms in the corner, blooming alone in the cold, knowing that it is not snow from afar, for there is a hidden fragrance.". Learn the spirit of Lamei and silently contribute; Learning the spirit of Lamei, accumulating knowledge and energy in the cold winter, in order to welcome the arrival of a more brilliant spring - that is what the great leader Mao President said, "The wind and rain send spring back, and the flying snow welcomes spring. It is already a hundred feet of ice on the cliff, with beautiful flowers and branches that do not compete for spring, only reporting spring. When the mountain flowers are blooming, she smiles in the bushes."

The spring of 2024 is destined to be a spring full of vitality and development; 2024 is destined to be another year of great development for us to learn how to unleash new vitality and energy! Only by working hard and striving can we create a better tomorrow!

Yang Chunguang, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the China Association for the Promotion of International Economic and Technological Cooperation, was present on January 11, 2024 (the first day of the twelfth lunar month in the Year of the Rabbit).
