常玉田 对外经济贸易大学英语学院 Trade is valuable not just for the prosperity it can bring,but for the partnerships it builds.Trade may start as a straightforward relationship between importer and exporter,between countries in a region or between regions,but it can quickly evolve into more wide-ranging contacts that promote mutual understanding.That spirit can in turn help the world to address global challenges such as protecting the environment,promoting democracy,and combating crime,drug trafficking and the international terrorism that destroyed one of your association's most prominent and well-known members.And it is in that spirit of partnership that I send my best wishes for a successful and memorable event.
