　　砥砺四十年，中国将进一步推进改革开放 

　　中国驻文莱大使 杨健 

　　1978年，中国共产党第十一届中央委员会第三次全体会议在北京举行，作出把党和国家工作中心转移到经济建设上来、实行改革开放的历史性决策。这是中华人民共和国成立以来具有深远意义的伟大转折。为了推进改革开放和社会主义现代化建设，中国兴办深圳、珠海、汕头、厦门4个经济特区，实行特殊政策和灵活措施，发挥对全国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的重要窗口和示范作用。1988年4月，七届全国人大一次会议正式批准设立海南省，划定海南岛为经济特区。

China Will Carry on Reform and Opening-up after 40 Years of Efforts 

H.E. Yang Jian 

Ambassador of the People's Republic of China 

In 1978, the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held in Beijing, which made a historic decision to shift the focus of the CPC and the state to economic development and to start reform and opening-up. This meeting marked a great turning point of far-reaching significance after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since then, China established four Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou in Guangdong Province and Xiamen in Fujian Province. The SEZs were supported by special policies and flexible measures and acted as important windows and examples for the whole country's reform and opening-up and socialist modernization. In April 1988, the First Session of the 7th National People's Congress approved the establishment of the Province of Hainan and designated the entire province of Hainan as another Special Economic Zone.
