China, Japan can herald ’golden age for Asia’
Japan should make the best of China’s rapid development and forge ahead with greater cooperation, Wang Chen, minister of the State Council Information Office, told Japanese media on Monday.

Wang was responding to a question on how he views China overtaking Japan to become the world’s second largest economy on the sidelines of the Sixth Beijing-Tokyo Forum, which opened on Monday in Tokyo. It was co-organized by China Daily and Genron NPO, a Japanese non-profit think tank.

Comparing China and Japan’s economic performances was a major topic of discussion at the forum but other issues were also raised.

More than 200 opinion leaders from political, business, academic and media circles from both countries joined the forum to share their views on political, economic, diplomatic, security and media issues as well as regional cooperation between China and Japan.

But the leaders focused more on what the two nations could do to contribute to Asia’s future and the world’s development. Many expressed their belief that Asia, which has displayed a marked resilience and maintained momentum in the midst of the global economic crisis, will be entering a golden age of development.

”Japan and China have entered an era to discuss detailed cooperation,” after resumed talks on exploring resources in the East China Sea and a communication mechanism to deal with maritime emergencies between the two defense departments yielded positive results, Yoshito Sengoku, Japanese chief Cabinet secretary, said.

Cheng Yonghua, China’s ambassador to Japan, said in his keynote speech that China and Japan should be able to complement each other in economic development. The two countries should deepen cooperation especially in the areas of energy efficiency, environmental protection, climate change, the green economy and disaster prevention and reduction, Cheng said.

”With continuous cooperation, we will surely establish the foundation of an East Asia community,” Sengoku said.

”Asia should have its own dream,” Zhao Qizheng, chairman of the Foreign Affairs Commission of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, said. ”China, Japan and other Asian countries should design our own dream because it would be wrong to copy the American or European dream.”

”Japan and China should be able to take their relations beyond their borders,” former Japanese prime minister Yasuo Fukuda said at the forum’s opening, saying that people should not focus too much on the comparison between the size of the two countries’ GDPs.

”China’s land territory is 26 times that of Japan, and its population is 10 times Japan’s,” Fukuda said.

”So what is the significance in just comparing the statistics? … Such comparisons could stoke public sentiment and provoke irritating discussions,” he said.

China ”cares but also does not care” about statistics, Wang said. ”We care, as it indicates China’s relatively fast development speed, and it marks the start of a new phase,” Wang said.

”But we also do not care about it, we keep cool-headed”, Wang said, adding that China’s GDP per capita is just $3,680, 10 percent of that of Japan.

Carter returns to U.S. with freed American citizen
Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter on Friday returned to the United States from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) with an American citizen freed by the Asian

country.
LeSean McCoy Jersey
Carter and Aijalon Mahli Gomes, the U.S. man detained by the DPRK since January, arrived in Boston, Massachusetts, by the same civilian jet which Carter took when he flew to the

DPRK capital of Pyongyang two days ago to negotiate the release of the U.S. citizen.

Gomes, a 30-year-old from Boston who once taught English in South Korea, was detained by the DPRK on Jan. 25 for illegal entry into the country.

On April 6, Gomes was sentenced to eight years’ imprisonment and fined about 700,000 U.S. dollars.
Matt Ryan Jersey
Carter, the second former American president in a year after Bill Clinton to visit DPRK to secure the release of U.S. prisoners, made the trip in his capacity as a private

citizen, without any U. S. government officials in his company.

Carter, a Nobel peace laureate, had visited the DPRK in 1994.
Eli Manning Jersey
According to the DPRK’s official KCNA news agency, during Carter’s trip, he made an apology to Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the Supreme People’s Assembly, for

Gomes’ illegal entry and gave the assurance that such incident will never happen again.

He also asked Kim to convey to top DPRK leader Kim Jong Il a message courteously requesting him to grant special pardon to Gomes to leniently forgive him and let him go home.
Brandon Jacobs Jersey
The KCNA said after receiving a report on the request made by the U.S. government and Carter, Kim Jong Il issued an order of the chairman of the DPRK National Defense Commission

on granting amnesty to Gomes.

The U.S. State Department welcomed the release of Gomes, saying in a statement that ”we appreciate former president Carter’s humanitarian effort and welcome the DPRK’s decision

to grant Mr. Gomes special amnesty and allow him to return to the United States. ”
Lawrence Taylor Jersey
In a related development, the KCNA reported that Kim Yong Nam said during his meeting with Carter that the DPRK is willing to resume six-party talks on the nuclear issue of the

Korean peninsula.

At the invitation of Qingdao Municipal Government, more than 200 representatives from over 20 countries and regions participated in the 2010 Qingdao International Sailing Week and attended the Olympic Sailing City Mayors & International Sailing Summit Forum from August 21 to 23, 2010. Under the theme of ”Dancing Sails, Eternal Blue”, we have exchanged John Elway Jersey
in-depth views on the development trend of international sailing sports and reached consensus on strengthening exchanges and cooperation among countries and regions, as well as popularizing and enhancing international sailing sports.
We hold that the success of the Sailing Competitions of Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games has greatly enhanced the popularity and development of China’s sailing sports. The Steve Atwater Jersey
development of sailing sports in China, a country with 1.3 billion people, will exert a positive influence over the improvement of sailing sports worldwide. The First Olympic Sailing City Mayors & International Sailing Summit Forum held fruitful discussions and exchanges within the international sailing community, which is of great importance to inheriting the Olympic legacy and enhancing cooperation in sailing sports among countries and regions. We suggest that, under the guidance and with the support of the Tim Tebow Jersey
International Olympic Committee, the International Sailing Federation, the International Association of Disabled Sailing and sailing federations of different continents, and on the basis of equality, mutual benefit, cooperation and win-win development, the Forum be cultivated into a brand name and platform for the exchanges and cooperation of international sailing sports.
Jim Brown Jersey
We see that, with the impetus of modern Olympic Games, the sailing sports is getting increasingly popular in coastal countries and regions. At present, the sport has reached over 120 countries and regions. Large-scale sailing events such as the American Cup, the Volvo Ocean Race, the World Match Racing Tour and the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race have far-reaching influence around the world and sailing sports has become one of the most passionate and dynamic water sports and a significant bond of international sport cultural exchanges as it enhances cooperation and friendship.
Jay Cutler Jersey
We stress that the future and hope of sailing sports rest on the young people. We call on capable countries and regions to carry out persistently the popularization of sailing knowledge and events for the young people, to improve the planning and infrastructure and to create a better environment by establishing junior sailing clubs, specialized Brian Urlacher Jersey
schools and training camps. International sailing organizations should send excellent coaches to the developing countries to improve the skills of their junior sailors, thus raising the overall capability and establishing a talent reservoir for world sailing sports.
Walter Payton Jersey
We advocate that the competition system of world sailing sports be upgraded through holding successful international events. Asian countries and regions, in particular, should be encouraged to host more international sailing events and emphasize the popularization and promotion of sailing sports. More technical and personnel guidance and support should be provided to Asia to make the continent with 30% of the world’s land and 60% of the total population a center of global sailing sports.
Gale Sayers Jersey
We hope that all countries and regions will make concerted efforts to advance coordinated development of sailing with tourism, culture and sports, strengthen cooperation in sailing exhibitions, tourism and manufacturing technology, and increase people-to-people exchanges in science and technology, education and other fields. We hope to bring the young people and sailors closer via diversified sailing activities, thus promoting world peace, unity, friendship and progress, and ushering in a bright future of vigorous sailing sports.

3.5 mln children in Pakistan at risk of disease
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) on Monday warned that close to 3.5 million children in the flood-ravaged areas of Pakistan are at risk of contracting fatal diseases

carried through contaminated water and insects.
Miles Austin Jersey
Various diarrheal diseases, which may in some cases be cholera – - and dysentery present the illnesses of greatest concern, stated UNICEF in a press release. Hepatitis A and E,

and typhoid fever pose another significant risk.

Meanwhile, stagnating water provides breeding ground for mosquitoes — further increasing the threat of insect-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue.
Ronnie Brown Jersey
According to UNICEF, the World Health Organization (WHO) is preparing a contingency plan to assist the Pakistani government to prevent major outbreaks of infectious diseases.

As the worst-case scenario, the WHO projects that up to 1.5 million cases of diarrheal diseases (including up to 140,000 of cholera), 150,000 cases of measles, 350,000 cases of

acute respiratory infections, and up to 100,000 cases of malaria can occur over the next three months.
Dan Marino Jersey
UNICEF said it plans to provide clean water to six million people in Pakistan’s flood-stricken area.

The head of water, sanitation and hygiene for UNICEF in Islamabad, Omar El-Hattab, said assistance has been reaching one million people per day. ”But more funds are urgently

required in order to reach all those in need,” he added.
