瑞典国王出席斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所50周年庆典

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--瑞典国王卡尔十六世古斯塔夫22日出席斯德哥尔摩国际和平研究所50周年庆典并发表讲话。

当时瑞典议会认为,二战结束后,人们应该建立一个象石刻的纪念碑一样意义的组织。阿林表扬和平研究所说,他们取得的成就要比石刻的纪念碑好得多。而且他们也实现了议会的愿望。

从一开始,和平研究所在研究业务方面就是独立的,尽管他们的预算都是从议会那里分发。独立客观公开的研究数据经得住推敲,毋庸置疑。

DSC_7301瑞典外交大臣马约特.瓦尔斯特罗姆也高度赞扬和平研究所,认为他们的研究数据在防止核扩散方面可以发挥很大作用。她积极支持投资研究。

大约100人出席了和平研究所的庆典活动。

Eight topics to dominate China’s “two sessions”

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 26(Greenpost)–As the annual sessions of National People’s Congress (NPC) and Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPC), also referred as the “two sessions,” are just around the corner,  eight agendas have been laid out which can summarize the country’s policy objectives.

For the Chinese people, the two major events, coming at the starting year of China’s “13th Five-Year Plan,” carry significant weight as the country enters the decisive stage in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects.

No 1. The “13th Five-Year Plan”

China’s “13th Five-Year Plan”, a roadmap for the nation’s development from 2016 to 2020, has specifically laid out its blueprint got the next 5 years.

During the two sessions, deputies will demonstrate their strong determination to implement the five notions stressed by the plan, which include innovation, coordination, environmental protection, openness and sharing. They will tell the world the implementation approaches as well.

No. 2 Poverty reduction campaign

The policy of targeted poverty alleviation is of groundbreaking significance. Targets, enforcers and approaches of the program are to be identified during the two sessions.

No. 3 Supply-side reform

“Promoting supply-side structural reform” was first proposed by Chinese President Xi Jinping months ago. Guided by this strategy, the government will optimize China’s economic structure through reforms that include reducing overcapacity and boosting emerging industries.

Decision makers at all levels will take the two sessions as a platform to communicate experience and contribute suggestions.

No. 4 “Belt and Road” initiative

The proposal to build the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road put forward by Xi has been echoed by over 60 countries and regions along the route.

As another hot topic of this year’s two sessions, this diplomatic priority is expected to bring more win-win results.

No. 5 Possible revise on the charity law

To guide and ensure a sound development of charitable causes, the Standing Committee of the NPC has deliberated the draft of the charity law twice. The public are concerned about whether the law will be further amended during this year’s two sessions.

No. 6 Reform on the judiciary system

As most of the tasks of China’s reform on the judiciary system are expected to be completed by the end of 2017, the Chinese government hopes to improve its capability in maintaining national security and social stability.

Amid such a backdrop, the reports to be delivered by the Supreme People’s Court and the Supreme People’s Procuratorate are highly anticipated.

No. 7 Green development

Buzzwords like “APEC Blue” and “Parade Blue” have raised people’s awareness of green development.

As China’s policy to emphasize a balance among production, living environment and ecology wins popularity among the public, deputies believe that they shoulder the responsibility of addressing major environmental roadblocks including smog and water pollution.

No. 8  Institutional anti-corruption

In recent three years, China’s anti-corruption campaign has been striving to foster a system that allows zero tolerance for corruption. At the beginning of 2016, Xi stressed to “create a green political eco-system” in his New Year’s message.

The 2016 NPC and CPPCC will be a window for Chinese people to examine the “green eco-system.”

聚焦两会:两会八大看点折射中国目标

北欧绿色邮报网报道(编辑陈雪霏)--即将启幕的2016年中国全国两会,正值中国刚刚踏上“十三五”征程。中国人心目中,全面建成小康社会决胜阶段开局之年举行的两会分量格外重,八大看点标志着中国目标和中国未来。

1.“十三五”规划

“十三五”规划明确了中国未来5年的发展蓝图,代表委员的谈论,将能告诉世界他们贯彻落实“创新、协调、绿色、开放、共享”五大发展理念的意愿和方式。

  1. 扶贫攻坚战

中国提出精准扶贫、精准脱贫的新概念,颇具开创意义。中国把聚焦点尤其放在“扶持谁、谁来扶、怎么扶”上面,这将是来自全国各地的两会代表委员、特别是基层代表委员深感需要明确的事情。

  1. 供给侧改革

“着力加强供给侧结构性改革”是几个月前由中国领导人习近平首次提出的主张,中国将在这一重大创新战略指引下,进行“加法、减法一起做”的改革,进而优化中国经济结构。目前,中国各级领导者面临认识到位、主动适应、有为引领的重要任务,两会将是他们在交流讨论中深化认识、建言献策的重要平台。

4.“一带一路”

习近平倡导的“一带一路”是中国外交的重点,已受到沿线60多个国家和地区的积极响应,今年将仍然是两会热议话题。当前,“一带一路”建设已见早期收获,人们期待习近平所主张的“百花齐放的大利”进一步成为现实。

  1. 慈善法修改

中国民众期盼慈善法能够有助于引领、保障慈善事业健康发展,全国人大常委会两个月前已对草案进行了两次审议,一些重要修改内容引发社会高度关注。本次全国人大会议是否将进一步作出修改,成为人们关注的问题。

  1. 司法体制改革

中国司法体制改革的大部分任务要在今明两年完成,中国政府非常期望提升维护国家安全和社会稳定的能力水平,让人民群众尽早享有改革“获得感”。本次会议上的“两高”(最高法院和最高检察院)报告备受期待。

  1. 绿色发展

“APEC蓝”“阅兵蓝”进一步调高了中国民众对绿色发展的热望,中国政府提出“统筹生产、生活、生态三大布局”,呼应了民意。两会代表委员普遍认为他们担当着推动治理雾霾、污水等环境污染问题的重任。

  1. 制度反腐

中国领导人习近平在2016年新年贺词中提出“着力营造政治上的绿水青山”,近3年来的反腐败斗争正着力构建不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐的体制机制。今年的两会会风、将是民众近距离感受、检验这种“绿水青山”的窗口。(人民日报记者 孙天仁  张梦旭)
