Therefore, improvement of the quality of inernational students’ education and promotion of the developmet of Shihezi University is a vital part of the strategy of invigorating Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps with the help of talents.

    兵团有58个农牧团场分布在边境沿线，主要经济发展带分布在亚欧大陆桥沿线，具有对外开放的独特优势。兵团在新疆的社会稳定、经济建设、民族团结、对外交流方面具有重要作用。

This is our unique advantages in carrying out the policy of opening and reform. Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps plays a special role in the social stability, economic development, unity of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, and communication with the outside world.

    温家宝总理今年到新疆及兵团考察工作时，从战略和全局的高度，对兵团工作提出了明确要求和殷切期望，他指出，实现新疆经济社会又好又快发展，一定要充分运用新疆的优势，坚持“东联西出、西去东来”的方针，加快对内对外开放步伐。

    During Premier Wenjiabao’s inspection of Xinjiang this year, from a strategic and overall viewpoint, he showed great concerns and hopes for our work, and pointed out, “to materialize a faster and better development of Xingjiang’s society and economy, full use must be made of local advantages and the pace of opening inside and outside should be quickened”

    在党和政府的高度重视下，兵团积极发挥地缘优势，事业不断发展壮大，经济发展迅速、对外交流水平不断提高、规模不断扩大，教育事业蒸蒸日上，各方面工作都成绩显著，这是国家、自治区各级领导重视和支持的结果，也是在座国际友人鼎力支持和热忱帮助的结果。

All this is not only a result of the supports from leaders from the central government and government of Xinjiang Uyghor Autonomous Region, but also owes a lot to the help and support from our international friends.
