Passage 13. Peace and Development-The Themes of Our Times（和平与发展—当今时代的主题）
Peace and development are the themes of the times.
People across the world should join hands in advancing the lofty cause of peace and development of mankind.
A peaceful environment is indispensable for national, regional and even global development.  Without peace or political stability, there would be no economic progress to speak of. This has been fully proved by both the past and the present.
In today's world, the international situation is, on the whole, moving towards relaxation.  However, conflicts and even local wars triggered by various factors have kept cropping up, and tension still remains in some areas.  All this has impeded the economic development of the countries and regions concerned, and has also adversely affected the world economy.  All responsible statesmen and governments must abide by the purposes of the UN Charter and the universally acknowledged norms governing international relations, and work for a universal, lasting and comprehensive peace.  Nobody shoud be allowed to cause tension or armed conflicts against the interest of the people.
There are still in this world a few interest groups which always want to seek gains by creating tension here and there.  This is against the will of the majority of the people and against the trend of the times.  An enormous market demand can be created and econmic prosperity promoted only when continued efforts are made to advance the cause of peace and development to ensure that people around the world live and work in peace and contentment and focus on economic development and on scientific and technological innovation.
I hope that all of us here today will join hands with all other peace-loving people and work for lasting world peace and the common development and prosperity of all nations and regions.
和平与发展是时代的主题。
世界各国人民应携手合作，推进人类的和平与发展的崇高事业。
一个和平的环境对于国家，区域，甚至全球的发展是必不可少的。没有世界和平或政治稳定就没有经济发展可言。无论是过去还是现在事实都充分证明了这一点。
在当今世界，国际局势总体上趋于缓和。然而，受各种因素引发的冲突和局部战争仍然不断涌现，某些地区仍然处于紧张局势中。这一切都阻碍了一些相关国家和地区的经济发展，也对世界经济造成不利影
响。一切负责任的政治家和政府必须遵守联合国宪章的宗旨和公认的国际关系准则，为实现普遍，持久和全面的和平而努力。相反，导致紧张局势或武装冲突而损害人民利益的行为也是不会被任何人所允许的。
在这个世界上仍然有少数利益集团，总想制造紧张态势来寻求有收益。这是违背了绝大多数人的意志，违背了
时代潮流。只有当我们作出不懈的努力来促进和平与发展事业，以确保世界各地的人们安居乐业并且集中精力进行经济发展和科技创新，我们才能够创建一个巨大的市场需求并且促进经济繁荣发展。
我希望今天这里的所有人，能够同所有其他爱好和平的人民联起手来，为世界的持久和平与共同发展，以及所有国家和地区的繁荣而努力奋斗。
