Comrades and Friends, 
 
Tibet is in the southwestern frontier of the motherland, with a vast stretch of land and a most important strategic position. The development, stability and security of Tibet have a direct bearing on the fundamental interests of people of all ethnic groups in Tibet as well as ethnic solidarity, national unity and state security. It is the common aspiration and mission of people of all ethnic groups in China, the Tibetan people included, to build on the prosperity and progress and maintain stability and solidarity in Tibet. 
 
At present, China has entered a new stage of development in which it will build a well-to-do society in an all-round manner and accelerate the socialist modernization drive. Tibet has also entered an important period for faster development and maintenance of stability. Recently, Comrade Jiang Zemin made an important speech at a rally in celebration of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. He systematically summarized the achievements and basic experience of the 80-year- long struggle of our Party, profoundly expounded the scientific connotation of the important concept of the "Three Represent's", correctly answered major questions that need to be studied and resolved for Party building in the new historical period and further identified the objectives and tasks of the Party in the new century. This important speech is a Marxist programmatic document which will guide our efforts to advance the great cause of building socialism with Chinese characteristics and the new and great project of Party building. It also provides a strong ideological weapon for accelerated development of Tibet in the new century. Not long ago, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council held the fourth working conference on Tibet, at which a magnificent blueprint for Tibet's development for the first few years of the new century was mapped out and the guiding principles of vital importance for the work of Tibet were formulated. According to the plan of the conference, the Central Government and all localities throughout the country will intensify their support to Tibet and help create even more favorable conditions for its development. As one of the priority regions in the development of China's west, Tibet is faced with unprecedented opportunities for development. 
 
The Central Government ardently hopes that the vast number of cadres and people of Tibet will earnestly study and implement the essential points of President Jiang Zemin's important speech on 1 July and the spirit of the fourth working conference on Tibet, seize the opportunities and make good use of them, and forge ahead in a pioneering spirit in an earnest effort to move the Tibetan economy from step-by-step development to leapfrog development and Tibetan society from relative stability to lasting peace and stability. 
 
Rapid economic development is the fundamental condition for realizing the interests of all ethnic groups in Tibet and also the basic guarantee for greater ethnic unity and continued stability there.
