President

I want to salute and hail the heroes of freedom, independence and advancement here and all over the world. Asia, with such a bright and colorful history can and should have a vital significant role in the cultural world today.

Asia has made the greatest contribution to the global civilization.

The world¡¯s civilization and cultural history is undoubtedly indebted to the Asian nations and culture.

Asia¡¯s culture is the world¡¯s culture;

Asia¡¯s power is the world¡¯s power.

Asian convergence is a new method of holding dialogues among the living civilizations and a wise manner of dealing with the unipolar global system of imperialism. We cannot and should not entrust the economical and the political systems of the world to the imperial powers.

The world today is seeking dialogues, mutual understanding comprehension, equality and freedom.

We have the following suggestions for this conference.

1. Working hard in the field of culture.

We consider cultural development as the basis for any deep, real and everlasting development.

2. Avoiding controversial points.

The endless confrontation of cultures may take us far from our real problems. We should work hard hand in hand on the common features and achieve the mutual understanding. Intellectuals and artists and true politicians are the heroes of dialogues among different civilizations.

3. Improving the regional convergence to increase economic growth of the Asian countries.

We should perform time by scheduled strategies to establish an Asian Union, word for Asian common wealth market, unique Asian money, and financial monetary cooperation among the Asian countries.

4. Paying attention to the political development.

Poverty, illiteracy, economic problems and worst of all, the land occupation in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq are the pain of the 21st century of the Asian countries.

Our common destiny tells us to work to remedy this situation.
