In the new millennium, it will contribute even more to world civilization with splendid new achievements. We will continue to adhere to the Party's basic theory, basic line and basic program and, by virtue of the strength of the people of all ethnic groups in China, go on achieving fresh successes in building socialism with Chinese characteristics in the coming new century. The complete reunification of the motherland and the maintenance of its security are the very foundation for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the unshakable will of all the Chinese people. We will continue to pursue the independent foreign policy of peace and develop friendly relations and cooperation with all other countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. The Chinese people will, as always, side with the vast number of developing countries and the people throughout the world, oppose hegemonism, promote global multipolarity, push for the establishment of a just and equitable new international political and economic order and work unremittingly for the lofty cause of world peace and development.
Hard work involves hardships, and hardships give rise to new development.
This is a universal law. China has an extremely bright future. Let us hold high the great banner of Marxism, Leninism, Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory and march bravely towards our sublime objectives. China will surely emerge as a prosperous, strong, democratic and culturally advanced modern socialist country in the east of the world.
