Professor Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Ladies and Gentleman,

I wish to extend warm congratulations on the opening of the fifth Annual Meeting of the New Champions, or the Summer Davos, and a sincere welcome to you all. The Summer Davos has undergone five years of growth and established its principle of being oriented to the whole world, to the future, to innovation and to youth. Participants have had lively and dynamic exchanges at various forms of discussions, delivering to the world messages of hope, confidence and courage, particularly at the difficult times of the global financial crisis. The theme of this year's meeting Mastering Quality Growth represents people's shared desire for robust, sustainable and balanced economic growth, and I wish the meeting a great success.
