China will, in the next three years, increase its assistance to developing countries, African countries in particular, by providing them with anti-malaria drugs and other medicines, helping them set up and improve medical facilities and training medical staff. Specific programs will be implemented through such mechanism as the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation as well as bilateral channels, said Hu.

He said China will help train 30,000 personnel of various professions for developing countries within the next three years so as to help relevant countries to speed up their human resources development.

Hu said China's development is closely bound up with the development of the whole world, and China is ready to work with all other countries to make the 21st century truly "the century of development for all".

In order to implement the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), step up international cooperation on development, promote universal development and achieve common prosperity, Hu also put forward some proposals as follows:

-- Further deepen reforms to make the global economic system and rules more equitable and rational, so that they will fully reflect, in particular, the concerns of developing countries and help steer economic globalization in a direction of balanced development with universally beneficial and win-win results.

-- Respect the diversity in the mode of development and promote the sharing of development experience.

-- Build a fair, rational and effective Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) evaluation framework to conduct timely reviews of the progress made by different countries in this regard and monitor and promote the delivery of promised international cooperation and development assistance.

-- Strengthen the role of the United Nations in promoting international cooperation on development.
