Hu's speech hit
headlines in the European edition of the Chinese-language Sing Tao daily.

relations" and Hu's speech at the UN summit meeting in its entirety on its 13th
page.
The London-based daily also released a commentary on its website, noting that
Hu's announcement to offer aid to poor countries showed China's commitment to
combating poverty and realizing the Millennium Development Goals by taking on
it's international responsibilities.
On Thursday, the Russian ITAR-TASS news agency covered Hu's speech at the UN
General Assembly.
The report said Hu stressed the United Nations' irreplaceable role in
international cooperation, saying that "such a role can only be strengthened and
must not in any way be weakened."
As to the UN Security Council reforms, Hu said that priority should be given
to increasing the representation of developing countries. He expressed China's
desire to see more countries, especially small and medium-sized countries,
participating in the decision-making of the world body, the report cited.
The Associated Press, the France Press Agency (AFP) and Japan's Kyodo news
agency concentrated their relevant reports on eliminating poverty, strengthening
energy cooperation and formation of a new global security concept as addressed
in Hu's speeches.
The AFP on Thursday filed a report titled "China calls for 'fair and
effective' security order" after Hu made his speech on the second day of the UN
summit.
The Chinese leader called on his counterparts to establish a new "fair and
effective" security order and step up cooperation incombating global terrorism,
the report said in the lead.
The Chinese leader said the United Nations should be "the core"of collective
security efforts, the report added.
The AFP also quoted many of Hu's remarks in its relevant reports.
Kyodo said the Chinese president assured world leaders that hiscountry's
economic development is conducive to global peace and stability and does not
pose a threat to the international community.
Hu arrived in New York on Tuesday. During his three-day stay atthe United
Nations headquarters, he made a four-point proposal forbuilding a harmonious
world; a four-point proposal regarding the reform of the United Nations; and
announced five concrete measures to help other developing
countries.
