yuemuping

和平与发展，是世界各国人民的共同愿望和当今时代的主题。和平是发展的基础，和平与发展既是相依的，也是互动的。维护世界和平，推动经济发展，是我们共同的责任。

　　为了推动建立平等互惠、相互依存、共同发展的世界经济新秩序，在新千年，我们联合有关"诺贝尔奖"获得者、中外著名经济学家、国际跨国公司与其他世界著名企业的领导人共同发表 《珠海宣言》。

　　一、相互依存

　　在市场经济条件下，世界各国和经济体之间相互进行商品和服务贸易与投资，而封闭的国家和经济体不能有效地参与世界经济，影响着经济的发展。因此，要根据联合国和世界贸易组织制定的规则，实现所有国家和经济体之间相互开放，相互依存，共同发展。

　　二、科技进步

　　科学技术对经济发展起着重要的作用。科学技术应该有利于建立高效、合理的经济体制。要大力推进科技进步并合理利用科技成果，使经济技术为世界各国经济发展和人民生活水平提高服务。

　　三、有效利用资源

　　根据自然科学规律，有效利用有限的各种自然资源（包括人力、能源、原材料）。按照比较优势的原则，最大限度地优化配置全球经济资源。

　　四、可持续发展

　　正确处理人与自然的关系，实现人口、资源、环境的良性循环，为经济的稳定发展提供良好的环境，保持世界经济的可持续发展。

　　五、分配

　　日益增长的收入和财富，必须在国家之间和各国内部进行公正、平等的分配。正确处理分配与效率的关系，公正地服务于世界全体人民（不论其性别、种族、文化及宗教信仰），改善南北关系，帮助发展中国家进行能力建设，消除贫困，促进世界各国人民共同富裕。

　　六、竞争

　　世界经济发展体系应当有利于保持竞争，反对垄断。鼓励世界上相互依存的国家之间以及社会生产部门之间开展建立在诚信基础上的公平、合理的竞争。竞争有助于促进生产、发展经济和有效利用有限的资源。反对阻碍自由贸易和机会均等的垄断，促进国际市场的公平竞争。

　　七、经济发展的资金

　　保持稳定的经济环境，以确保自由贸易制度的顺利执行。为便利资金流通，必须建立支持世界经济发展的更加公正合理的金融体制，使自由贸易的成果造福世界各国。

　　八、经济发展与教育

　　促进全体人民（不论国家、地区、种族、性别和贫富）的教育和技能发展，消除愚昧无知，大力培养人力资源，促进经济发展。

　　九、经济发展中人的因素

　　人既是生产者又是消费者。推动生产者向全人类消费者提供优质的产品和服务，实现所有人的长远福利，并将之视为一切行动的永恒准则。

　　愿与有志于世界和平、人类进步与共同发展的政府、企业、社会各阶层共同努力，共创二十一世纪辉煌。

ZHUHAI DECLARATION
(THE DECLARATION OF WORLD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT)


Peace and development are the common aspiration of people of all countries and are the main themes of today's world. As peace is the basis for development, peace and development are interdependent and interactive. It is our common duty to safeguard world peace, and promote economic development.

In order to promote the establishment of a new world economic order featuring equality, interdependence, mutual benefit and common development, in this new millennium, as Chinese and foreign economists, Nobel Prize winners, and leaders of multinationals and other enterprises, we jointly issue "The Zhuhai Declaration":

1. Interdependence

Under market economy conditions, countries and economies trade in goods and services with and invest in each other. Closed countries and economies cannot effectively participate in the world economy, thus compromising their economic growth. Therefore, all countries and economies, according to the principles laid down by the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, must be open, interdependent, and develop together.

2.Scientific and Technological Progress

Science and technology play an important role in economic development. Science and technology should be conducive to the establishment of a highly efficient and rational economic system. Progress in science and technology should be vigorously promoted and the results in this field be applied wisely so that economic technology better serves the economic growth of all countries and the improvement of the livelihood of the people.

3. Efficient Use of Resources

The finite abundance of natural resources of all kind, including manpower, energy and raw materials, necessitates their use, according to the laws of natural science, in an efficient manner. According to the principle of comparative advantage, global resources should be distributed in an optimized manner to the utmost.

4. Sustainable Development

The relationship between human and nature should be properly handled so that population, resources and environment interact with each other in a virtuous circle, which will offer a favorable environment for steady economic growth and ensure the sustainable economic development of the world.

5. Distribution

Increasing incomes and wealth must be fairly and equally distributed among all countries and within each country. The relationship between distribution and efficiency should be handled properly and efforts should be made towards justice in serving the needs of all people in the world, irrespective of their sex, race, culture and religious belief. The relations between the South and the North shall be improved. The developing countries should be assisted in their capacity building and poverty alleviation efforts in order to promote the common prosperity of people worldwide.

6. Competition

The world economic development system should be designed to maintain competition and oppose monopoly. Interdependent nations and producers should be encouraged to compete with each other in a fair and proper manner and on the basis of integrity and credibility. Competition is conducive to production, economic growth and efficient use of limited resources. Monopolies should be opposed as they could inhibit free trade and equal opportunities. Fair competition should be promoted in the international market.

7. Financing of Economic Development

The prevailing economic setting must be kept stable in order to ensure the smooth operation of the free trade system. A more fair and reasonable financial system for facilitating the flows of funds to support international economic development must be put in place, thus allowing the gains from free trade to benefit all nations.

8. Economic Development and Education

Education and skill development must be promoted for all people, no matter where they come from and regardless of their race, sex and income level, to eradicate illiteracy and ignorance. Human resources should be vigorously developed to facilitate economic development.

9. Human Aspects in the Economic Development

Human beings are both producers and consumers. Producers should be encouraged to provide consumers worldwide with high-quality products and services to serve the long-term well being of all people. This is an eternal principle that all our actions shall follow.

We are ready to work together with governments, enterprises and people from all walks of life, who are committed to world peace, human progress and common development, to build a glorious 21st century.
