以“21世紀(jì)聯(lián)合國的作用”為議題而舉行的聯(lián)合國千年首腦會議,2000年9月8日通過《千年宣言》后閉幕了。這是一次史無前例的規(guī)模最大的一次首腦會議,來自包括新加入聯(lián)合國的圖瓦盧在內(nèi)的189個成員國的150多位國家元首和首腦出席了這次會議。發(fā)達國家和發(fā)展中國家集聚在一起,背負(fù)著多種多樣的文明和價值觀的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人會聚一堂,具有深遠的歷史意義。中國作為維護世界和平的主流力量在這一盛會中,又是怎樣的一種態(tài)度呢?

President Jiang Zemin is the best role model to Chinese people for learning English!
江澤民主席是中國人民學(xué)習(xí)英語的偉大榜樣!
