WTO总干事：WTO多哈会议筹备会上的演讲(2)
I believe there is another reason， more fundamental， more profound and more immediate， why we need a successful meeting next month.
Of course， trade liberalization is just one ingredient in a cocktail of policies required for development. A new round will do little for a nation that is torn apart by war or that spends all its export revenues on weapons. Nor will it be much use if good governance is missing or crippling debt overhangs. Nor will a round help those countries who have no domestic capacity or infrastructure to take advantage of new market access opportunities. Trade liberalization must， therefore， go hand-in hand with other reforms.
I believe there is another reason， more fundamental， more profound and more immediate， why we need a successful meeting next month. This meeting is a chance for the international community to reaffirm its commitment to common values of openness， sharing， peaceful exchange and rule of law rather than rule of the jungle. Leaders and Governments have long recognised the need for international and regional responses to problems we have in common. No single nation alone can combat AIDS， clean the environment， run a tax system and manage airlines without the cooperation of others. Nor can they deal in isolation with the threat of international terrorism. Institutions such as the United Nations， the World Bank， the IMF and the WTO are expressions of the international community's commitment to work together. 167 UN Members reaffirmed their commitment to international cooperation at last week's special UN plenary meetings on terrorism. There will be further opportunity next month when WTO Members welcome 1.5 billion people from China and Chinese Taipei into our rules-based system and also take decisions to determine， in the coming years， the contribution of the WTO to global economic development， peace and security.
The state of the world economy demands that we use the Ministerial Conference as an opportunity to boost global confidence. The alternative message would be damaging for jobs everywhere.
Just 2 weeks after the tragic events of 11 September， United States Trade Representative， Robert Zoellick， made a simple but profound statement about the importance of continued openness. It bears repeating；
“Let me be clear where I stand： Erecting new barriers and closing old borders will not help the impoverished. It will not feed hundreds of millions struggling for subsistence. It will not liberate the persecuted. It will not improve the environment in developing countries or reverse the spread of AIDS. It will not help the railway orphans I visited in India. It will not improve the livelihoods of the union members I met in Latin America. It will not aid the committed Indonesians I visited who are trying to build a functioning， tolerant democracy in the largest Muslim nation in the world…。”
