On behalf of Ambassador Sasser and the U.S.government, I would like to welcome each of you to this seminar and thank you for taking the time to participation in Vice Premier and Minister for Foreign Affairs Qian Qichen’s visit to Washington and his meeting with President Clinton precludes the Ambassador’s attendance here this morning.However, two distinguished colleagues from our Embassy in Beijing have come to Shenyang: Minister Counselor for Public Affairs George Beasley is with us this morning.Mr.Alan Turley, Minister Counselor for Commercial Affairs, will join us later.I world also like to thank Governor Wen, Vice Governor Guo, FAO Director Wang, and all of those who have helped in putting this seminar together for their support and assistance.The Relationship
Please permit me to turn for a moment to the broad, multifaceted relationship, which the U.S.and China share.It is of key importance to all of us.As you know, the U.S.economy is the largest, and one of the most dynamic, in the world.China has the world’s largest population, and the fastest growing economy.Commerce between our two countries is growing rapidly, although it is unbalanced.The result is a wealth of inter-related, shared interests.Vice President Gore’s visit to China last month was a clear success and shows the importance the U.S.attaches to making progress on all of those issues of mutual concern.Bilateral cooperation aimed at achieving environmentally sensitive, sustainable development in China is vital to us all.This conference is a manifestation of that shared concern.I would like to highlight a few points about the U.S experience.As the American economy grew into the world’s largest, our environmental problems mounted until in 1963, we passed the Clean Air Act, and two years later the water Pollution Control Act.28 years ago, our EPA was established.Since that time, we have made remarkable progress on the environmental front, although we still face problems.In the past 30 years, we have developed many leading-edge technologies to clean up natural heritage.U.S companies are environmentally sensitive.They involved in practices, either as buyer or as seller, which involve mistreatment of the environment or violation of human rights.In addition to not causing environmental problems, American firms have a well-deserved reputation for effectiveness in dealing with and preventing pollution.There is room for much cooperation in this area here in China.The Northeast’s Experience
Before coming to the Northeast, I had heard and seen some very negative reports about the environmental situation here.I have been pleasantly surprised by the positive attitudes of those officials who manage China’s increasingly effective efforts to improve its environment.There are also a number of success stories in the Northeast.These are well-worth publicizing.For example, in Dalian, The Malan river is being cleaned up by building a 120,000 ton waste water treatment plant.Shenyang City reported that it had cut its industrial wastewater output.The air quality in Shenyang and many Northeast cities has improved in recent years.Nevertheless, much remains to be done.I expect that our cooperation will continue to grow in this area.Seminar Goal
This seminar is designed to provide all of us with a better understanding of the other’s perspective on environmentally sensitive, sustainable development.I look forward to learning more about China’s, especially the Northeast’s, experience in this area as the seminar progresses.Thank you very much.世界人居日-历届主题 1985年12月17日，第40届联大通过决议，确定每年10月的第一个星期一为“世界人居日”，也称“世界住房日”。联合国确定世界人居日的目的是，唤起人们对人类居住环境和人人享有适当住房基本权利的关注，呼吁各国政府重视住房及相关问题，并为解决这些问题作出积极努力。
联合国还要求各国政府和地方当局在每年的世界人居日举行庆祝活动，以鼓励广大民众更好地认识到改进居住环境的必要性。同时，联合国每年还为世界人居日确定一个主题，并在一个城市主办“世界人居日”全球庆典活动。
1986年：住房是我的权利(Shelter is My Right)。
1987年：为无家可归者提供住房(Shelter for the Homeless)。
1988年：住房和社区(Shelter and Community)。
1990年：住房和城市化(Shelter and Urbanization)。
1991年：住房和居住环境(Shelter and the Living Environment)。
1992年：持续发展住房(Shelter and Sustainable Development)。
1993年：妇女与住房发展(Women and Shelter Development)。
1994年：住房与家庭(Home and the Family)。
1995年：住房－－邻里关系(Our Neighborhood)。
1996年：城市化、公民的权利与义务和人类团结(Urbanization, Citizenship and Human Solidarity)。
1997年：未来的城市(Future Cities)。

今年的10月4日是第14个“世界人居日”。今年世界人居日的主题是“人人共有的城市”，意在促使各国政府和全体人民共同努力，解决城市化带来的诸多问题，改善环境，享受城市生活。
住房问题是世界范围内普遍存在的问题。1982年第37届联大在确定1987年为“无家可归者收容安置国际年（国际住房年）”后，1985年12月17日的第40届联大又一致通过决议，确定每年10月的第一个星期一为“世界人居日”，亦称“世界住房日”。
鉴于我国大连市在城市建设与环境保护方面取得的成就，联合国人居中心决定今年“世界人居日”全球庆祝活动于10月4日在大连市举行。这是联合国举办“世界人居日”活动以来第一次在我国城市举行庆典。大连市市长***“以其在住房建设和城市可持续发展方面的杰出贡献”获得本年度“联合国人居奖”。这将是我国从联合国人居中心获得的第8块奖牌。演讲致辞常用英文
