1991年9月17日至26日第十届世界林业大会在法国首都巴黎召开。林业部徐有芳副部长率领的中国林业代表团一行9人出席了大会。我是代表团的秘书长,曾陪同徐副部长参加了大会的最高决策机构(执行局和林业政策组)的会议,因此了解到会议的一些深层次问题。虽然会议已开过一个月,但大会的规模、论题的丰富以及林业问题在全球政治、经济、环境和外交上的地位给我留下了深刻的印象。 September 17-26, 1991 The Tenth World Forestry Congress was held in the French capital, Paris. Nine Chinese delegation headed by Vice Minister Xu Youfang attended the conference. As the Secretary-General of the delegation, I attended the meetings of the highest decision-making body of the General Assembly (Executive Board and Forestry Policy Group) accompanied by Vice Minister Xu, so I learned some deep-seated issues in the meeting. Although a month has passed since the meeting, the size of the conference, the abundance of topics and the forestry issue’s place in the global political, economic, environmental and diplomatic fields left a deep impression on me.
