2003年9月1日，外交部网站（https://www.fmprc.gov.cn）经过全面改版，以崭新的面貌将更加丰富的内容展现给读者。

　　外交部网站此次改版，保留了原有中（简、繁）、英、法、俄、西、阿语种版面，在表现形式和表现手法方面做了较大调整，形象设计、内容规划更趋合理，强大的导航和检索功能，使读者查找信息更加方便。

　　外交部网站自1998年开通以来，历经3次改版，已成为向海内外公众宣示中国外交政策、报道中国外交动态并介绍外交知识的权威政府网站。

　　On September 1st, 2003, the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (https://www.fmprc.gov.cn) takes on new looks after a major renovation.

　　The new website still features six language versions, which are Chinese (both simple and traditional), English, French, Russian, Spanish and Arab. Adjustment has been made both in terms of formality and content. We hope that the new powerful navigation system and search engine will make our website more user-friendly.

　　Since its initial launching in 1998, the website has undergone three major renovations. It has now become an authoritative government website on Chinese foreign policy, news and information on China’s diplomacy.
