In response to globalization, Reinfeldt noted, our responsibility must encompass<br />

many aspects. ―Tackling social exclusion and unemployment, encouraging<br />

entrepreneurship, ensuring that families can exercise control over their everyday life,<br />

ensuring that knowledge is something available to many and not just to a few, these I<br />

believe are the keys to make your society hold together,‖ Reinfeldt said, ―they are<br />

also the main features <strong>of</strong> the social model in Sweden.‖<br />

Reinfeldt viewed the Olympic Games as a good example <strong>of</strong> China‘s globalization<br />

because it brings people together not only in competition, but also in personal<br />

meeting and interaction. ―The Olympics is about sports, but it is also about<br />

international exchange,‖ Reinfeldt said, ―I hope that the Game will be a success in a<br />

true spirit <strong>of</strong> international cooperation.‖<br />

Finally, Reinfeldt pointed out that the relationship between China and Sweden has<br />

developed quite rapidly since China launched its policy <strong>of</strong> reform and opening up. ―In<br />

the last few years, we have state visits in all directions. Sweden was the first western<br />

country to establish diplomatic relation with the People‘s Republic <strong>of</strong> China. Today,<br />

there are 3000 Chinese students and researchers at Swedish universities. There are<br />

more than 500 Swedish companies with cooperation in China. Every fourth day, a<br />

new Swedish company sets up its business in China. We hope we would be able to<br />

further strengthen the ties between our two countries in trade, in exchange <strong>of</strong><br />

knowledge and common issues such as fighting global warming.‖<br />

Reinfeldt is on his first <strong>of</strong>ficial visit to China from April 12 to 15, becoming the first<br />

Swedish prime minister to visit China since 1996. The main topics on his agenda, he<br />

said, were climate change and sustainable development. His 4-day visit to China<br />

began in Hainan where he took part in the ―Boao Forum for Asia‖ and met with<br />

Chinese President Hu Jintao. He will hold talks with Chinese Prime Minister Wen<br />

Jiabao later today.<br />
