Chinese president promises continued active involvement in tackling crisis

China has sent large procurement missions abroad, demonstrating its firm commitment to staying open to the world and promoting global economic recovery, he said.

Hu also promised that China will continue to increase aid for Africa and reduce or cancel debts owed by African countries as its ability permits.

The Chinese president said that despite the continued adverse impact of the international financial crisis on China's real economy, "neither the fundamentals nor the positive long-term prospects of China's economy have changed in any major way, and the foundation supporting China's sustained and relatively fast economic growth remains solid."

Hu promised to continue to follow the basic policy of opening-up and unswervingly pursue a win-win strategy in opening to the outside world.

"A more dynamic and open China will be in a better position to not only maintain steady and relatively fast economic growth at home, but also contribute to the global efforts to tackle the financial crisis and promote world peace and development," he said.
