2008年新春伊始,一个特大喜讯传来:国家批准实施《广西北部湾经济区发展规划》。这是广西5000万各族人民期盼已久的千年机遇,也是有利于中国与东盟10国携手并进的共同盛事。这包含着党中央、国务院对壮乡人民的深切关怀和殷殷期待,体现出党中央、国务院深邃的战略思维。 At the beginning of the spring of 2008, a great news came: The state approved the implementation of the “Guangxi Beibu Gulf Economic Zone Development Plan.” This is a thousand-year-long opportunity that has long been hoped for by 50 million people of all ethnic groups in Guangxi. It is also a common event conducive to hand in hand with China and 10 ASEAN countries. This includes the deep concern and earnest expectation of the party Central Committee and the State Council over the people of Zhuang and the profound strategic thinking of the Party Central Committee and the State Council.
