The Speech by a World Bank Group Official at the 2002 Western China International
Economy and Trade Fair

Governor Zhang, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am delighted to be here this morning to open the Western China International Economy and Trade
Fair. I would like to thank the Peoples Government of Sichuan for inviting us to attend this important
event where government leaders from Beijing and twelve other provinces meet to discuss strategies
for developing China’s Western Region.

This event reflects the strong commitment of the Government and the people of China to develop
its Western Regions. I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and determination demonstrated not
only by the public sector but also by the increasing level of private sector interest in supporting the
Western development goals set forth by the government.

The purpose of my current visit to China is to assess recent economic developments in China and
to discuss with senior leaders of the Government the World Bank Groups assistance strategy for
China after its accession to the WTO. 1 started my visit two days ago in the western province of
Yunnan and have now come to Sichuan. I have seen good examples of how the World Bank Grow
up can offer assistance to the Government and the private sector to develop China’s West. There are
11 provinces, autonomous regions and one municipality in west China, with a total area of about
6.8 million square kilometers and a population of 364 million. The government’s desire to accelerate
the development of the western provinces is vital to the success of achieving a sustained growth for
China in the long run. There are also challenges, however, that should not be overlooked. These
include continue efforts to create and improve the business environment. But 1 am confident that
these challenges will be met.

In closing, I would like to thank the Government of Sichuan for its support to the World Bank and
IFC operations in Sichuan. We look forward to working with all of you to contribute to the
development of China’s West and to improve people’s lives in this important part of the country.

Thank you!
