Comrades,The theme of this year's international disaster reduction day is "Disaster Prevention, Education and Youth". The purpose of this meeting is to review the activities we have taken for the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (IDNDR), to summarize our achievements and experience with disaster reduction, to predict the disaster reduction situation and mission that China is to face in the 21st century, and to identify the appropriate approaches to work in the future. This is very important to disaster reduction in our country in the new century.Mr. Duojicairan has just given an overall summary of the activities taken by China for IDNDR.Leaders from the Ministry of Education (MOE) and the Forestry Administration (FA) have also introduced their endeavors and experience in education on disaster reduction and in forest fire disaster reduction respectively. Besides, members of CCIDNDR and experts from the Disaster Reduction Panel have presented their ideas and suggestions on how to promote disaster reduction in China in the new century, which are very constructive. In the following passage, I'd like to make a few points on how to further carry out disaster reduction in our country.
