Features: Interpretation is one of the important means for human communication. When Party A and Party B cannot understand each other's language, if they are to conduct meetings, negotiations, discussions, communications, friendly cooperation and experience exchange in fields such as science and technology, industrial and agricultural production, culture, trade, defense, and enterprise management, interpretation is an indispensable bridge. At international conferences attended by representatives from many countries, interpretation is an essential task. In understanding the situation and contributing to China's four modernization drive, as well as in combating hegemonism and maintaining world peace, interpretation is also an important task. No other delegation has any remarks on this agenda item, so I believe we have concluded the discussion on the charges against Jordan. ∥ However, before declaring the meeting adjourned, as the representative of Sudan has requested to speak, I now invite him to address the meeting. (17) All the speakers listed have already spoken. If no one else wishes to speak, I will declare the meeting adjourned. ∥ Since no one is speaking, I now declare the meeting adjourned. (18) As there are no more requests to speak from the list, I propose we adjourn. ∥ We will consider this item on our agenda at another meeting, the date of which will be announced at an appropriate time. ∥ Now, the meeting is adjourned.
