由中国政府首次举办的中国’99昆明世界园艺博览会将于1999年5月1日至10月31日在昆明举行。“人与自然——迈向二十一世纪”是这次国际盛会的主题,同时也是中国以及世界各国政府和人民所共同关注的问题。面临世纪之交,在改革开放中日益崛起的中国,更要进一步融入国际社会,融入世界文明,融入大自然,步入可持续发展的轨道。 The ’99 Kunming World Horticultural Exposition ’first held by the Chinese government will be held in Kunming from May 1 to October 31, 1999. “Man and Nature - Towards the Twenty-first Century” is the theme of this international event. It is also a common concern of both the governments of China and other countries in the world. Facing the turn of the century, China, which is rising increasingly in the period of reform and opening up, must further integrate itself into the international community, integrate into the world civilization, integrate into nature and step into the path of sustainable development.
