[00:05.12]Australian Prime Minister John Howard in BoaoAsia BBS 2005 Meeting Every Year the Speech 
[00:16.83]Chairman Jia Qinglin, Your Excellencies, my fellow Heads of Government, ladies and gentlemen, 
[00:25.64]It is common ground to this conference, ladies and gentlemen, 
[00:29.76]that Asia has experienced extraordinary economic growth over the last decades, particularly over the last 10 years.
[00:38.56]Australia herself has been a great beneficiary of Asia's economic strength and Asia's economic growth. 
[00:47.59]There is of course immense optimism amongst all of us, 
[00:52.35]and no doubt it will pervade this conference, that the momentum of economic growth in the Asian region will continue. 
[00:59.78]And we have good reason to have that optimism. But I think we should also, 
[01:05.77]amidst that optimism, remind ourselves that the experience of the past suggests that it should not be taken for granted, 
[01:16.50]that it has to be nurtured and worked upon in order to be guaranteed. 
[01:20.96]Firstly, I believe that the nations of the region must maintain strong and unwavering commitment to the principles of open trade and investment policies. 
[01:31.93]Secondly, could I argue that there is a constant need for domestic economic reform within the individual member states of the Asian region. 
[01:43.91]This applies just as much too highly developed countries such as Australia as it does to less well developed countries. 
[01:52.40]Thirdly, I think we should remind ourselves that despite all the multi lateral cooperation that exists we still live in a world of nation state. 
[02:02.78]Fourthly, we must remind ourselves for all our natural focus on the interaction of nations within this region that Asia should not become in any way inward looking. 
[02:15.31]That we live in a global economic environment, and that is our future forever, whether we live in Asia, Europe or in North America. 
[02:25.87]Fifthly, let us also remind ourselves that threats of a non-economic kind and events of a non-economic kind can exact a fearful economic price. 
[02:38.70]My friends, I've enjoyed very much the privilege of being part of this Forum. 
[02:48.72]I wish it well and I congratulate those who have conceived the idea of the Boao Forum only four or five years ago, 
[02:54.24]they truly had the future of the region at heart. 
[02:57.90]Thank you.
