Ladies and gentlemen, Good morning! On behalf of the United Nations Development Program. I would like to extend my congratulations to the organizers of this forum. It is my great honor to be with you to join the deliberation on the subject, which we understand is closely linked with the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals and the Xiaokang vision, and will benefit China continuously. During the past 26 years, UNDP has been here to assist China by investing in development not only in terms of funds, but also in terms of knowledge sharing of international experiences. Now, UNDP assistance for the energy and environment portfolio has grown to become the largest UNDP program in China. The program covers energy efficiency, climate change, biodiversity conservation, pollution control, ozone protection, among others. I am pleased to inform you that the new Development Assistance Framework, which captures the areas of work for the UN system, has been prepared by the UN agencies and endorsed by the Chinese Government. The document identified key areas to guide the UN assistance to China during the next five years. Environmental and resources protection has been listed in the document as one of the five areas of support. We wish to join hands with the government, the business sector, academia. non-governmental organizations and international partners to support the environmental and resources protection in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and the Xiaokang vision in China. I wish the forum a great success. Thank you.
