新年贺词
山西省人民政府外事办公室主任 武绍忠
同志们，朋友们，女士们，先生们：
时光荏苒，岁月如歌。在这辞旧迎新之际，谨向关心支持山西外事的各位领导、海内外朋友表示衷心的感谢，向全省外事系统的同志们致以诚挚的问候，向大家致以新年的祝福！
2022年是党和国家历史上具有重要里程碑意义的一年，是山西发展史上具有特殊标志性意义的一年，也是山西外事发展历程上具有深远意义的一年。面对风高浪急的国际环境和新冠疫情的不利影响，我们坚持以习近平外交思想为指导，在省委省政府坚强领导下，统筹国内国际两个大局，统筹防疫和外事，统筹发展和安全，踔厉笃行，在高质量发展上取得了新突破。
这一年，我们持续提升太原能源低碳发展论坛国际影响力。韩正副总理视频演讲并宣布开幕，体现“国家规格、国家选题、国家声音”；冰岛总理等外国领导人、联合国助理秘书长、以色列环境部长、日本埼玉县知事等90余名外宾出席。以色列作为首个主宾国,我们联合举办了分论坛、共植“中以友谊树”等系列活动。论坛的国家级、国际性、专业化持续放大。
这一年，我们不断深化国际交流合作。林武同志出席山西与全罗南道结好5周年纪念活动；蓝佛安同志与津巴布韦北马塔贝莱省签署友好合作伙伴协议书；省领导与国际友好省州长互致祝贺视频和友好信函30多次。省市民间外交百花齐放、争奇斗艳，成功举办与埼玉县结好40周年、与乌拉圭卡内洛内斯省结好30周年庆祝活动；运城、临汾“家文化”走进美国犹他州等活动引起热烈反响，对外交流合作主渠道作用更加明显。
这一年，我们统筹抓好各项任务达成达效。巡视整改坚决有力；出色完成康养大会、大河文明论坛、旅发大会等大型涉外任务;荣获“清廉之声”朗诵比赛优秀组织奖和一等奖；疫情督导圆满完成。围绕复工复产，因公出访团组审批再提速，APEC卡申办更便利，企业巡查指导和培训更及时。推介《首席体验官》系列微视频，提供国际社会认识山西新视角；组织开展专题经验交流系列活动，以推动山西外事踏上新征程。
从年头到年尾，我们战疫情、克难关、求突破，在“五年大变样”的基础上,实现了全面“巩固、深化、提升、出彩”的奋斗目标。真诚地道一声，各位辛苦了！
2023年是全面贯彻落实党的二十大精神的开局之年，是全面建设社会主义现代化国家新征程起步之年，是山西外事工作承前启后的重要一年。新的一年里，我们要坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，认真贯彻落实省委省政府战略部署，更好统筹发展和安全，更好服务构建对外开放新高地，强化高层出访的引领作用，不断深化多领域务实交流合作。
一代人有一代人的使命,一代人有一代人的担当。伴随新年钟声，新征程的号角已经吹响。我们要“时时放心不下”，继续奋发有为，为全面建设社会主义现代化国家开好局起好步作出外事贡献！
祝伟大祖国繁荣昌盛！
祝山西外事再创辉煌！
祝各位朋友新年安康！
New Year’s Message
Wu Shaozhong—Director General of the Foreign Affairs Office of Shanxi Provincial People’s Government
Dear comrades, friends, ladies and gentlemen:
Time flies! At this moment of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the new, I am delighted to extend the New Year greetings and thanks to all the leaders and friends, home and abroad, who have cared for and supported Shanxi, and to all my colleagues engaging in our foreign affairs!
The year 2022 is an important milestone in the history of our country, a year of landmark significance in the course of Shanxi's development, and a year of far-reaching influence in Shanxi's foreign affairs. Facing the harsh international environment and the adverse impact of the pandemic, under the strong leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government, we have firmly adhered to the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, taken full account of both domestic and international situation, managed to juggle foreign affairs work and COVID-19 prevention and control, and ensured development in a safe environment. We have made new breakthroughs on the path of high quality development with great courage and unremitting efforts.
During this year, the international influence of Taiyuan Energy Low Carbon Development Forum has been further enhanced. Vice Premier Han Zheng delivered a video speech and announced the opening of the forum, demonstrated China’s voice and choice on energy revolution; more than 90 foreign guests attended the forum, including the Prime Minister of Iceland, the Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Environmental Minister of Israel, and the Governor of Saitama Prefecture of Japan. Israel, the first Guest Country of Honor, jointly held sub-forum and planted "China-Israel Friendship Tree" with us. The forum’s status as a national, global and professional event has been elevated.
During this year, the exchanges and cooperation between Shanxi and the rest of the world have been deepened. Comrade Lin Wu attended the commemoration of the 5th anniversary of the friendship tie between Shanxi and Jeollanam-do of the Republic of Korea; Comrade Lan Fo’an signed the Friendly Partnership Agreement with Matabeleland North of Zimbabwe; and we facilitated over 30 exchanges of congratulatory videos or goodwill letters between the leaders of Shanxi and its international friendship provinces. People-to-people diplomacy at both provincial and municipal level has been flourishing. Such events as celebrations for the 40th anniversary of friendship tie between Shanxi and Saitama of Japan and the 30th anniversary of friendship tie between Shanxi and Canelones of Uruguay have been held; activities like the “family culture” of Yuncheng City and Linfen City introduced to Utah of the United States have received fervent response. Our role as the main channel for foreign exchanges and cooperation has become more obvious.
During this year, all tasks have been accomplished and good results have been yielded. We carried out the rectification of the inspection; we fullfill our tasks in such international events as the Health Care Conference, the Great Rivers Civilization Forum and the Tourism Development Conference; we won the Excellent Organization Award and the first prize in the recitation contest of "Corruption-free Voice”; we monitored and directed epidemic response at local government. We have become more efficient in approving overseas-visit delegations, processing APEC cards applications and offering guidance and training for enterprises to facilitate the resumption of their work and production. The short video series "Deep in Shanxi with Rees" have been promoted to share true stories of Shanxi with the world; series of experience-sharing workshops have been organized in order to bring our work up to a new level.
Through all these efforts, we have realized our goal of "consolidating, deepening, upgrading and outstanding" in all of our foreign affairs endeavors. I sincerely appreciate your hard work in this challenging year.
The year 2023 marks the beginning of full implementation of the guiding principles laid down at the 20th CPC National Congress and a new journey to build China into a modern socialist country in all respects. It is also an important occasion for Shanxi’s foreign affairs to build on past achievements and usher in a better future. In the coming year, we will continuously follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era and earnestly implement the decisions and plans of the Provincial Party Committee and Provincial Government. We should attach more importance on ensuring both development and security and upgrade our capability in serving opening up. We will stay committed to strengthen practical exchanges and cooperation in various fields through high-level visits.
Each generation has its own mission and undertaking. As the New Year bell rings, we are embarking on a new journey. With strenuous efforts and strong sense of responsibility, we are determined to make our own contributions to the building of a modern socialist country in all respects.
May our great motherland prosperity!
May Shanxi’s foreign affairs a new success!
May everyone a happy and healthy New Year!
