Strengthening international scientific, technological and economic cooperation and exchanges is an inevitable trend in the new century, following the current surging momentum in science and technology and economic globalization, Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji said Thursday.

Zhu made the remark at the opening ceremony of the 5th China Beijing International High-Tech Expo, held in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

The premier said that all nations in the world are now faced with the common task of speeding up scientific and technological progress and developing a hi-tech industry, as the anticipated closer link between science and economics would greatly boost global development and human civilization.

China had been targeting advances in science and technology and had had remarkable success in various types of scientific research, he said. The hi-tech industry was playing a significant role in ensuring sustainable and rapid national economic growth in China, as well as in expanding its foreign trade, Zhu said.

He said he believed that in order to strengthen world-wide cooperation in such fields, all nations must deepen their common understanding, expand ways for cooperation, and create more opportunities for the training and exchanges of professionals.

Zhu said friends of other countries and regions are welcome to come and see China's progress in science and technology in recent years through the "window" of the Hi-Tech Expo and join with China in boosting bilateral and multilateral economic and technological cooperation.

Attending Thursday's opening ceremony were senior Chinese officials, as well as leaders from some of the world's top 500 companies and international financial institutions.

The expo, which runs from May 23 to 28, has attracted more international participants than in previous years.
