it is my privilege this evening to introduce state councilor binnguo dai. the most difficult problem of foreign policy is that one always has to act on assessments, which cannot be known when one makes them. i know nobody who has better judgment, more thoughtful preparations, more patients and more commitment to the central importance of the china american relationship and state councilor binnguo dai i and many of the interlocutors have learned an enormous amount from him, and we know that under his guidance and that of vice premier, the chinese american delegations will begin to chart a future as a revolutionary as of their great predecessor, deng xiaoping is in this spirit that i would like to ask the state councilor to address this group in expressing my great personal pleasure in welcoming him here.
