All the students of ISSCAD are elites in their own countries and share a common aspiration of bringing prosperity to their motherlands. The experiences of New China’s development in the past 70 years is a vivid demonstration of Keynes’ famous quotation: “It is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good or evil”.  When the world is entering the third decade of the 21^st century, new challenges and opportunities are arising in the horizon. I wish the hard working in the new year will equip ISSCAD students with the ideas of capturing opportunities and overcoming challenges for achieving inclusive and sustainable development in their countries.

南南合作和发展学院的所有学员都是各自国家的精英，拥有贡献于祖国繁荣的共同抱负。新中国过去70年的发展生动地诠释了凯恩斯的名句：“是思路而非既得利益是决定成败的关键”。当全球进入到21世纪的第三个十年之际，新的挑战和机遇正浮现于天际。我期盼在新一年的辛勤学习将会使得南南合作和发展学院的学生拥有克服挑战抓住机遇给各自的国家带来包容可持续发展的思路。
