Full text of Chinese VP Zhang Gaoli's address at opening dinner of 2013 Fortune Global Forum

Ladies and Gentlemen,

The hope for China's new future and renewed expectation of the people all inspire us to persevere and be resolute in our work. As an old Chinese poem reads, "A time will come for me to brave the wind and waves, and I will seize that opportunity to cross the vast ocean." We will steadfastly follow the guidance of Deng Xiaoping Theory, the important thought of Three Represents and the Scientific Outlook on Development, work under the leadership of the CPC central Committee led by General Secretary Xi Jinping, unite as one and make pioneering and innovative efforts to build a moderately prosperous society in all respects and realize the Chinese dream of achieving the great renewal of the Chinese nation.

In conclusion, I wish the 2013 Fortune Global Forum great success!

Thank you very much!
