尊敬的各位使节，
尊敬的企业家代表，
各位专家、学者和媒体朋友们：
Excellencies,
Business representatives,
Friends from the academia and the press,

很高兴参加首届“蓝厅论坛”活动。我想，之所以把论坛取名为“蓝厅论坛”，是因为蓝色让人联想到大海和天空，既包容万象又蕴含热情与活力，契合了和谐共存、开放共赢的理念。它寓意着我们将以海纳百川的包容精神，汲取各界智慧，深化对话交流；以纵论天下的开阔视野，把握时代脉搏，共谋发展大计。相信“蓝厅论坛”将架起一座外交与民众、国内与国际相互交流沟通的桥梁，使中国外交更好地走近民众，走向世界。
I am delighted to attend the first Lanting Forum. Lanting, as you may know, means the blue hall in Chinese. This Forum is called Lanting Forum because people naturally associate the blue color with the sea and the sky. It symbolizes inclusiveness, passion and vitality, and it accords to the philosophy of harmonious coexistence, openness and win-win progress. It shows that we will adopt an inclusive approach, pool together the wisdom of various sectors and deepen dialogue and exchanges. It also means that we will take a global perspective, keep pace with the times and work together for development. I believe that with the interactions taking place here, the Lanting Forum will serve as a bridge connecting diplomats with the general public, and China with the world. The general public and the whole world will therefore gain a better understanding of China's diplomacy.

本次论坛选择“亚太地区形势和中国的政策”为主题，很有意义。当前，亚太的发展为各方普遍关注，中国又是亚太地区的一员，加强对有关问题的探讨，有利于我们增进互信，凝聚共识。我愿就此与大家沟通交流。
The theme for today's Forum, Situation in the Asia Pacific and China's Policy, is a highly significant one. The development in the Asia Pacific has attracted worldwide attention and China is a member of this region. We should intensify discussions on the relevant issues concerning the region, as this will help us enhance mutual trust and build consensus. I look forward to exchanging views with you on this important topic.

对于21世纪的亚太，人们曾经有不同的看法。有人认为亚太人文荟萃，潜力巨大，前景光明。也有人认为亚太问题丛生，麻烦不断，不容乐观。如今，当21世纪第一个10年即将结束的时候，回顾亚太发展进程，我们不难发现，尽管亚太地区由于历史和现实的原因，还存在这样那样的问题和挑战，但谋和平、维稳定、求合作、促发展是人心所向、大势所趋，亚太正在成为一个充满活力、生机与希望的地区。
There were different views about the Asia Pacific in the 21st century. Some believed that rich human resources and cultural diversity held out great potential and bright prospects for the Asia-Pacific region, while others thought this region was beset with problems and troubles and could hardly offer any reason for optimism. Now the first decade of the 21st century is coming to an end. When we look back on the journey that the region has travelled, I believe we can come to the following conclusions: Despite the various problems and challenges due to reasons both of the past and present, peace, stability, cooperation and development represent the shared aspiration of the people and the trend of the times. What has happened shows that the Asia Pacific is transforming into a dynamic, vibrant and promising region.

——亚太战略地位从未象今天这样重要。
The Asia Pacific's strategic status has never been more important.

过去10年，亚太地区在世界格局中的地位持续上升，已成为国际影响不断扩大、新兴经济体成长十分显著、区域合作机制建设积极活跃的地区。亚太经合组织21个成员拥有世界40%的人口、54%的经济总量和44%的贸易总量，建立起全方位、多层次、宽领域的合作机制，为促进共同繁荣发挥了积极作用。亚太各种区域合作机制蓬勃发展，新倡议、新设想不断涌现，体现了各方合作应对挑战的强烈愿望。尽管当前国际金融危机对亚太经济的深层次影响不断显现，地区热点时有升温，全球性问题更加突出，给亚太的发展带来严峻挑战。但总的看，亚太国家经济总体向好，围绕后危机时期发展方式的变革竞相展开，国际地位继续提升，将为促进世界和平与发展发挥越来越重要的作用。
In the past ten years, the status of the Asia Pacific in the global architecture has continued to rise. The region has seen expanding international influence, notable growth of emerging economies and active development of regional cooperation mechanisms. APEC's 21 member economies take up 40% of the world population, 54% of the economy and 44% of the trade. They have developed all-dimensional, multi-tiered and wide-ranging cooperation mechanisms, which have played a positive role in promoting common prosperity. Various regional cooperation mechanisms have flourished and new initiatives and ideas have mushroomed, giving full expression to the strong desire of all parties to meet challenges through cooperation. As the underlying impact of the international financial crisis on the economy in the Asia Pacific persists, regional hotspots flare up from time to time, and global issues become more pronounced, the Asia Pacific faces daunting challenges in its development. However, the economy of the Asia-Pacific countries as a whole is on an upward trajectory. One after another, countries in the region have begun to transform development patterns in the post-crisis era. With their rising international status, they will play an increasingly important role in promoting world peace and development.

——亚洲发展势头从未象今天这样强劲。
Asia's growth momentum has never been stronger.

过去10年，亚洲作为亚太地区的重要组成部分取得快速发展，成为增长最快、最富活力的地区之一，引领世界经济增长的引擎作用日益突出。亚洲国家面对两场金融危机，团结自强、通力合作，主要依靠自身力量，不仅维护了经济稳定，也为未来发展打下了更加坚实的基础。在应对危机的过程中，亚洲国家总结出的一条宝贵经验就是立足自身国情，探索适合自己的发展道路，着力提升经济增长的内生动力。与此同时，亚洲秉承开放精神，积极扩大与欧洲、非洲、北美、拉美等地区的务实合作，加快自贸区建设步伐，迎来了新的发展和跨越。
In the past ten years, Asia, an important part of the Asia-Pacific region, has achieved fast growth. It has become one of the fastest growing and most dynamic regions and played a bigger role in powering world economic growth. During the two financial crises, Asian countries united as one for greater strength. Relying mainly on their own efforts, they have not only maintained economic stability, but also laid a more solid foundation for future development. Asian countries have learned one valuable thing from tackling the crises: we need to explore development paths suited to ourselves and enhance domestic sources of economic growth in light of our own national circumstances. At the same time, Asia has adopted an open approach. It has actively expanded practical cooperation with Europe, Africa, North America and Latin America and speeded up the building of free trade areas. As a result, it has achieved fresh progress and leapfrog development.

对于亚洲的发展，我想用三个“50%”来说明：一是亚洲整体经济实力明显增强。19世纪，亚洲GDP曾占全球的一半，此后一度衰落。20世纪以来，亚洲国家励精图治、奋起直追，重返经济发展的快车道。2009年亚洲国家经济总量已占世界的近1/3 ，据一些国际权威经济组织预测，到本世纪中叶，亚洲将重新占据世界经济的50%。二是东亚经济一体化进程不断加快。早在五年前，东亚区内贸易总额就已接近3万亿美元，占其外贸总额的比重超过50%。东亚区域合作更是取得长足进展，东盟、10+1、10+3、中日韩、东亚峰会等各种机制日益完善，形成了优势互补、协调并进的良好局面。三是亚洲国家人文科技等领域潜力巨大，软实力不断增强，为亚洲可持续发展提供了有力支撑。据联合国教科文组织最新公布的数字，亚洲科研人员数量在全球所占比例已由2002年的35.7%增加到2007年的41.4%，这一数字很可能在未来数年里提高到50%。一个生机勃勃、和平发展的亚洲日益呈现在世人面前。
I wish to illustrate Asia's development with three "fifty-percents". First, Asia's overall economic strength has grown remarkably. Asia's GDP accounted for 50% of the world's total in the 19th century and had since gone downhill. Starting from the 20th century, Asian countries have made unyielding efforts to catch up and return to the fast track of economic development. In 2009, Asia's overall economy accounted for nearly one third of the world economy. Some authoritative international economic organizations have made the forecast that by the middle of this century, Asia will once again take up 50% of the world economy. Second, economic integration of East Asia is moving faster. Five years ago, intra-regional trade in East Asia already totaled almost three trillion US dollars, making up more than 50% of the region's total foreign trade. East Asia regional cooperation has made tremendous achievements. ASEAN, 10+1, 10+3, China, Japan and the ROK, East Asia Summit and other mechanisms have continued to improve. It is gratifying to note that these mechanisms are drawing on each other's strengths and moving forward in parallel. Third, Asian countries have great potential in human resources, culture, science and technology and their soft power continues to strengthen. This has offered strong backing for Asia's sustainable development. According to the latest figures of UNESCO, Asia had 41.4% of the world's scientific researchers in 2007, up from 35.7% in 2002. And the figure is very likely to further increase to 50% in the coming years. In short, we are seeing before us a thriving Asia enjoying peaceful development.

——中国与亚太关系从未象今天这样紧密。
China's relationship with the Asia Pacific has never been closer.

过去10年，中国与亚太的发展相伴相随、相互促进，共同开启了亚太发展的新时期。中国作为亚太大家庭的一员，与各国共同肩负着维护本地区繁荣稳定的重要使命。我们深知，没有良好的地区环境，中国就难以实现可持续发展；同时中国的发展也为亚太地区的发展注入强大动力。中国坚持和平发展道路和互利共赢的开放战略，奉行“与邻为善、以邻为伴”的睦邻友好政策，愿在和平共处五项原则的基础上与所有国家开展友好合作，共同营造一个和平稳定、平等互信、合作共赢的地区环境。中国与周边国家不仅有源远流长的传统友好的基础，更有日益增长的共同利益。经过十年的不懈努力，中国与亚太国家的互信在共度危机中更加深入人心，互利合作在借重互鉴中持续全面发展，各领域合作取得新的重要进展：
In the past ten years, China and the rest of the Asia Pacific have grown together and supported each other's development. Together, we have opened a new era of development in this part of the world. As a member of the Asia-Pacific community, China and other countries in the region shoulder the important mission of promoting regional prosperity and stability. We are keenly aware that without a sound regional environment, China can hardly achieve sustainable development. At the same time, China's development is a strong boost to the development of the Asia Pacific. China is committed to the path of peaceful development and the mutually beneficial strategy of opening up. China pursues a policy of developing good-neighborly ties and partnerships with its neighbors. China wants to engage in friendly cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, in a joint endeavor to build a regional environment featuring peace and stability, equality and mutual trust, cooperation and win-win outcomes. Relations between China and its neighboring countries are anchored not only in time-honored traditional friendship, but also growing common interests. By countering crises together, China and other Asia-Pacific countries have fostered deeper mutual trust in the last ten years. By drawing on each other's strengths, we have enhanced mutually beneficial cooperation in a comprehensive way. Indeed, we have made fresh and important headway in our cooperation across the board.

中国同亚太各国政治交往日益密切，建立了不同形式的伙伴关系，政治对话成果丰富。今年我们同几乎所有亚洲国家都实现了高层互访和交流，累计超过60起，来华出席上海世博会、广州亚运会的亚洲国家政要接近50位。各部门、各层次的交流对话也已全面展开。
China's exchanges with other Asia-Pacific countries in the political field have become closer. We have established various forms of partnership and conducted fruitful political dialogue. This year alone, we have had over 60 high-level mutual visits and exchanges with Asian countries, involving almost all the countries in the region. Nearly 50 Asian political leaders came to China for the Shanghai World Expo and the Guangzhou Asian Games. Departments at various levels have engaged in extensive exchanges and dialogue with their Asian counterparts.

中国同亚太各国经济合作不断深化。10年间，中国同亚太国家贸易额持续增长，中国十大贸易伙伴中，有8个来自亚太地区。中国与亚洲国家贸易同期增长了近3倍，连续多年成为亚洲最大的进口市场，以及日本、韩国、印度、越南、蒙古等国的第一大贸易伙伴。“十一五”期间，中国对外非金融类直接投资的60%以上是在周边，亚洲已成为中国设立境外企业最为集中的地区。中国积极扩大与亚太国家财政金融合作，设立总额2000万美元的“中国APEC合作基金”，同马来西亚、印尼、韩国签订总额达3600亿人民币的双边货币互换协议。在应对国际金融危机的过程中，中国同亚太国家和衷共济，相互扶持，进一步深化了务实合作，有力地推动了亚太经济的复苏和发展。
China's economic cooperation with other Asia-Pacific countries has been deepening. Over the past decade, China's trade with Asia-Pacific countries has kept growing. Of China's top ten trading partners, eight are in the Asia Pacific. China's trade with Asian countries has grown by nearly three times during this period. For several years in a row, China has been Asia's largest import market and the largest trading partner for Japan, the ROK, India, Vietnam and Mongolia. During China's 11th Five-Year Plan Period (2006-2010), over 60% of China's overseas non-financial direct investment has gone to its neighbors. Asia now hosts more of China's overseas companies than any other region. China has actively expanded fiscal and financial cooperation with Asia-Pacific countries. We have set up a China-APEC Cooperation Fund totaling 20 million US dollars and signed bilateral currency swap agreements totaling 360 billion RMB yuan with Malaysia, Indonesia and the ROK. In the fight against the international financial crisis, China and other Asia-Pacific countries have worked together and supported each other. This has further deepened practical cooperation and boosted the economic recovery and development in the region.

中国同亚太国家安全合作持续拓展。中国致力于通过和平谈判解决争议，大力推动六方会谈进程，在解决热点问题上发挥了建设性作用。积极参加东盟地区论坛等安全对话机制，与地区国家开展反恐、防扩散、打击跨国犯罪、公共卫生等安全合作。中国坚持以事实为基础，根据国际关系基本准则，通过对话协商妥善处理和解决领土海洋争端。在印度洋海啸、巴基斯坦水灾等自然灾害面前，我们感同身受，慷慨相助，及时提供各类救灾援助，表达了中国人民的友好之情。
China's security cooperation with other Asia-Pacific countries has been expanding. China is committed to resolving disputes through peaceful negotiations. We have made great effort to push forward the Six-Party Talks process and played a constructive role in addressing hotspot issues. We have been actively involved in the ASEAN Regional Forum and other security dialogue mechanisms and carried out security cooperation with regional countries in counter-terrorism, non-proliferation, combating transnational crimes and public health. China is committed to appropriately handle and address territorial and maritime disputes through dialogue and negotiations on the basis of facts and in keeping with the basic norms governing international relations. The Chinese people cherish friendly sentiments towards people in the region. When natural disasters like the Indian Ocean Tsunami and the floods in Pakistan struck, we showed sympathy for the affected population and promptly offered disaster-relief assistance.

中国同亚太国家人文交流更加广泛。中国积极推动亚太经合组织人员交流，促进人力资源开发合作，不断扩大教育、文化交流对话。10年来，来华的亚洲国家留学生人数逐年递增，去年已超过16万人，占外国来华留学生总数的3/4。我们在亚洲建立了100多所孔子学院和孔子学堂，在韩国、日本、蒙古等国设立了中国文化中心，积极为亚洲发展中国家开展人员培训，五年来仅为东盟国家就累计培训14,000多名各类人才。
People-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and other Asia-Pacific countries have been more extensive. China has vigorously promoted people-to-people exchanges in the context of APEC, advanced human resources development cooperation and strengthened educational and cultural exchanges and dialogue. Over the past ten years, the number of Asian students coming to China has been growing year by year. Last year, it exceeded 160,000, accounting for three fourths of foreign students in China. We have set up more than 100 Confucius institutes and classrooms in Asia, and established China culture centers in the ROK, Japan and Mongolia. We have organized training courses for people from other Asian developing countries. We have trained over 14,000 professionals in various fields for ASEAN countries over the past five years.

中国致力于同亚太国家共同推动区域合作机制建设。中国主张立足本地区多样性突出的特点，本着协商一致、循序渐进、先易后难、开放包容等原则，坚持以现有机制为平台，各种机制优势互补，相辅相成，共同促进地区合作。今年1月，中国-东盟自贸区全面建成，为扩大双方贸易投资合作提供了前所未有的良好环境，使世界上近1/3人口得到实惠。中国支持“东盟互联互通总体规划”，同有关国家一道，共同推动公路、铁路、航道、港口等建设。10+3合作在应对金融危机过程中呈现出强大生命力，实现清迈倡议多边化，建成1200亿美元的区域外汇储备库和7亿美元的区域信用担保和投资基金。中日韩合作也迈出新步伐，确立了2012年完成三国自贸区官产学联合研究的目标。中国积极推动亚太地区贸易和投资自由化便利化，支持加强区域经济一体化，支持将APEC打造成地区重要的经贸合作平台。中国欢迎有关国家在区域合作中发挥建设性作用，对任何有利于亚太地区经济融合和共同繁荣的合作倡议，都持开放和欢迎态度。
China is committed to building regional cooperation mechanisms together with other Asia-Pacific countries. The Asia Pacific is a region of diversity. And to build cooperation mechanisms in such a region, we must follow the principles of building consensus, seeking incremental progress, focusing on easier issues before moving to more difficult ones and being open and inclusive. We should keep the existing mechanisms as the platform and encourage different mechanisms to complement and reinforce each other in order to advance regional cooperation. Last January, the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area was fully established, providing an unprecedented favorable environment for stronger trade and investment cooperation between China and ASEAN nations. It will bring tangible benefits to nearly one third of the world's population. China supports the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity and will work with the countries involved to build roads, railways, water routes and ports. The ASEAN plus Three cooperation has shown great strength in countering the financial crisis. The Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization (CMIM) was realized and regional foreign exchange reserve pool totaling 120 billion US dollars and the regional Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility (CGIF) totaling 700 million US dollars were established. New steps were also taken in China-Japan-ROK cooperation. The three countries have set out the goal of completing the joint study on an FTA among them by 2012. China has actively promoted trade and investment liberalization and facilitation in the Asia-Pacific region. We support regional economic integration and the effort to make APEC an important platform for regional economic and trade cooperation. China welcomes a constructive role by relevant countries in regional cooperation. We are open to and we welcome any cooperation initiative that contributes to regional economic integration and common prosperity.

女士们，先生们，
Ladies and Gentlemen,

回首过去10年走过的历程，亚太地区发展并非一路坦途。亚太区域广泛，国情各异，社会制度和发展阶段不同，热点问题错综复杂，各种传统与非传统安全问题相互交织，加深理解互信、维护地区持久和平与共同发展面临许多挑战。但亚太国家总能立足长远，着眼大局，化危为机，实现更大的发展。亚太10年发展历程，给我们的重要启示是：
Reviewing the past ten years, we can see that the development in the Asia Pacific has not always been smooth and even. Being a vast region, the Asia Pacific is home to countries with different national conditions, social systems and development stages. There are complex hotspot issues and intertwined traditional and non-traditional security issues. And there are many challenges in the endeavor to deepen mutual understanding and trust and uphold enduring peace and common development. However, Asia-Pacific countries, which focus on the long-term interests and the larger interests, can always manage to turn crisis into opportunity, and make even greater progress. From the region's development over the past ten years, we can draw the following important conclusions.

第一，合作是基础。随着全球化、信息化的迅猛发展，世界日益成为你中有我、我中有你的“地球村”。亚太国家作为“地球村”的重要成员，面临着维护和平稳定的共同使命，促进经济发展、消除贫困的共同任务，抑制矛盾多发、实现发展转型的共同挑战。世界和亚太的大变化召唤着人们思想的大解放和观念的大更新，要求我们去除冷战思维，摈弃意识形态偏见，树立同舟共济、合作共赢的新理念。如果说20世纪是热战冷战交替、两极相互对立的世纪，那么21世纪则应是和平的世纪，合作的世纪，共赢的世纪。
First, cooperation is the basis. The rapid development of globalization and information technologies has made our world a Global Village, where the interests of countries are interconnected. As important members of this Global Village, Asia-Pacific countries face the common mission of safeguarding peace and stability, the common task of growing the economy and eradicating poverty and the common challenge of managing different problems and transforming development patterns. The major changes in our region and the world require us to free our mind and change our thinking in a big way. We must abandon the Cold War mentality and ideological stereotypes. We must foster a new vision of unity and cooperation for mutual benefit. If the 20th century was a century defined by incessant hot and cold wars and confrontation between the two blocs, the 21st century should be one defined by peace, cooperation and win-win outcomes.

第二，发展是关键。亚太地区总体保持良好发展势头，面临着新的难得机遇，但不稳定不确定因素仍然很多，恐怖主义继续存在，经济安全、能源资源安全、粮食安全、气候变化、防灾减灾等非传统安全问题更加突出，对地区可持续发展构成挑战。这些问题多是前进中的问题，只能通过共同发展的途径来解决。对于一时解决不了的问题，应该保持足够的耐心，防止矛盾复杂化，影响发展大局，损害本地区的共同长远利益。只要我们把共同利益的蛋糕越做越大，让发展的红利惠及各国人民，就一定能够有效化解各种挑战，实现本地区更好更快的发展。
Second, development is the key. The Asia Pacific as a whole enjoys sound development, and faces new and rare opportunities. But there are also many destabilizing factors and uncertainties threatening its sustainable development. Terrorism remains a menace. Non-traditional security issues such as economic security, energy and resources security, food security, climate change, disaster prevention and relief have become more pronounced. Most of them are issues that have occurred in the course of our progress and can only be addressed through common development. For those issues that cannot be resolved for the time being, we need to have enough patience and prevent the complication of problems so that they will not harm the overall development and the long-term common interests of this region. As long as we make a bigger pie of our shared interests and enable people of all our countries to benefit from the dividend of development, we will be able to meet various challenges effectively and achieve even better and faster development.

第三，树立新安全观是保障。当今世界国际安全威胁更趋复杂多元，安全问题的综合性、整体性、关联性上升，解决各种地区安全问题单打独斗不行，孤军奋战不行，只有以合作求安全才是出路。我们应树立以互信、互利、平等、协作为核心的新安全观，既尊重本国安全，又尊重别国安全，促进共同安全。应通过对话协商解决争端。国家间的领土海洋争端应由直接当事方通过双边谈判和平解决，相信凭借已经达成的共识和畅通的对话渠道，各方一定能靠自身力量解决好自己的问题。所有国家都应发挥建设性作用，不做制造矛盾和紧张的事，不做使问题复杂化的事，而是多做有利于地区稳定的事，多做增进互信的事，多做促进团结的事。
Third, a new security concept is the guarantee. International security threats to today's world are more complex and diversified. Security issues are increasingly interrelated, affecting more areas than before. No one can singlehandedly resolve regional security issues. Cooperation is the only way to ensure security. We must foster a new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination. We need to respect the security of our own countries and also the security of others, and promote common security. We need to address disputes through dialogue and consultations. Territorial and maritime disputes between states should be peacefully resolved between the parties directly involved through bilateral negotiations. We are convinced that based on the consensus already reached and through the open channels of dialogue, the parties will be able to properly address their own issues with their own efforts. All countries should play a constructive role and refrain from creating new trouble and tension or complicating the matters. And all countries should act in a way that contributes to regional stability, mutual trust and unity.

当前朝鲜半岛局势再度紧张，中方对此高度关注。作为负责任大国，中方一贯按照事情本身的是非曲直决定自身立场，不偏袒任何一方。中方主张，当务之急是防止紧张局势升级，决不能再做火上浇油的事情，有关方面应保持冷静克制，推动事态重新回到对话谈判的轨道上来。正如大家所看到的，朝韩交火事件发生以来，中方为防止事态升级恶化做出了一系列努力，与有关各方进行了密切沟通和协调，敦促各方务必保持冷静克制，通过对话协商解决问题，共同维护朝鲜半岛的和平稳定。中方还建议于12月上旬在北京举行六方会谈团长紧急磋商，希望这一磋商有助于缓和当前紧张局势，为重启六方会谈创造条件。我们将继续做出努力，推动各方共同维护半岛和东北亚地区的和平稳定。
Tension has once again risen on the Korean Peninsula, and China is highly concerned about the current situation. As a big responsible country, China decides its position based on the merits of each case and does not seek to protect any side. China is of the view that the most pressing task now is to prevent any escalation of the tension, and nothing should be done to inflame the situation. The parties concerned should keep calm and exercise restraint, and work to bring the situation back onto the track of dialogue and negotiation. As you have noticed, since the exchange of fire between the DPRK and the ROK, the Chinese side has made a series of efforts to prevent the situation from escalating and worsening. We have stayed in close communication and coordination with relevant parties and urged various parties to maintain calm and restraint by all means, address the issues through dialogue and consultation and jointly safeguard peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. We have proposed to hold emergency consultations among the heads of delegation to the Six-Party Talks in Beijing in early December in the hope that the consultations will help ease the current tension and create conditions for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks. We will make continued efforts to encourage all parties to work together to maintain peace and stability on the Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.

第四，尊重多样性是前提。亚太地区多样性和复杂性突出，各国政治经济体制、历史文化背景和社会发展模式各异，在长期历史进程中形成了多元发展、齐头并进的局面，这既是亚太的特色和优势，也是亚太长期保持活力的原因所在。我们要继续坚持这一传统，发扬开放包容、求同存异、互谅互让的精神，加强互学互鉴，扩大人文交流，把亚太建成一个文化多元、和睦共存的大家庭。
Fourth, respect for diversity is the premise. Diversity and complexity are a distinctive feature of the Asia Pacific. Countries in this region have diverse political and economic systems, histories, cultures and social development models, which have grown side by side over the long years of history. Diversity is a source of the unique strength and enduring vitality for the Asia Pacific. We need to uphold this tradition, carry forward the spirit of openness, inclusiveness, seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual understanding and mutual accommodation, and strengthen mutual learning and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, so as to build the Asia Pacific into a community in which diverse nations and cultures live in peace and friendship.

女士们，先生们，
Ladies and Gentlemen,

2011年是21世纪第二个十年的开启之年，具有承上启下的重要意义。明年对世界和亚太而言，将是促进经济复苏和发展，推进后危机时期发展方式的转变，深化国际体系变革，应对全球性挑战的重要之年；对中国而言，将是“十二五”规划的开局之年，我们将进入深化改革开放、加快转变经济发展方式的攻坚时期。中国与世界和亚太的目标一致，利益紧密相连。中国愿与亚太各国深化合作，共迎挑战，共同促进世界的和平与发展。为此，我们应该在以下几个方面作出共同努力：
The year 2011 will be the first year of the second decade of this century. It will be a year for us to build on past achievements and strive for new progress. For the Asia Pacific and the world, 2011 will be an important year to promote economic recovery and development, transform development patterns in the post-crisis era, and deepen the reform of the international system to meet global challenges. For China, it will be the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan period. We will enter a critical era in our endeavor to deepen reform and opening up and accelerate the transformation of the economic development pattern. China, the Asia Pacific and the world as a whole share the same goals and intertwined interests. China is willing to work with other Asia-Pacific countries to enhance cooperation, meet the challenges and promote world peace and development together. To this end, I believe we should make concerted efforts in the following areas:

一是全力推动世界经济的复苏与增长。当前世界经济正在缓慢复苏，国际金融市场起伏不定，主要货币汇率大幅波动，大宗商品价格高位震荡，保护主义明显增强。世界经济复苏的脆弱性和不平衡性进一步显现。我们应继续发扬同舟共济的精神，在巩固和扩大业已取得的成果和共识基础上，加强宏观经济政策协调，加快推进国际金融等领域的改革，努力促进世界经济强劲、可持续、平衡增长。积极致力于缩小南北发展差距，着力推动南北合作。坚决反对和抵制各种形式的保护主义，维护开放自由的贸易投资环境，推动世界贸易组织多哈回合谈判在锁定已有成果的基础上取得全面均衡的成果，尽早实现发展回合目标。
First, we should make an all-out effort to promote the recovery and growth of the world economy. The global economy is now slowly recovering, but the international financial markets remain volatile; the exchange rates of major currencies fluctuate drastically; commodity prices hover at a high level and protectionism is notably rising. It is all the more evident that the world economic recovery is fragile and uneven. We should continue to work in a spirit of unity to secure and broaden the existing achievements and consensus, enhance macro-economic policy coordination, speed up the reform in the international financial and other sectors and ensure strong, sustainable and balanced growth of the world economy. We should work actively to bridge the gap between the North and the South, and step up North-South cooperation. We should oppose and reject protectionism in all its manifestations and uphold an open and free trading and investment environment. We should work to ensure comprehensive and balanced outcomes at the Doha Round negotiations by locking in previous achievements in order to attain the goals of the development round at an early date.

二是共同应对重大全球性挑战。围绕气候变化、防灾减灾、打击恐怖主义等全球性挑战展开的双多边合作，已经并将进一步成为国际合作新的增长点和最具发展潜力的领域。我们要共同推动坎昆气候变化大会取得进展，继续坚持“共同但有区别的责任”原则，携手应对气候变化挑战。统筹兼顾经济发展和环境保护，积极开展清洁能源和节能环保合作，推动发展绿色经济。树立和落实互利合作、多元发展、协同保障的新能源安全观，保障各国特别是发展中国家的能源需求。携手打击恐怖主义和海盗袭击活动，维护海上安全和正常贸易往来。加强防灾减灾合作，相互学习借鉴，降低自然灾害对人民生命财产的影响。
Second, we should meet global challenges together. Our existing bilateral and multilateral cooperation on global challenges such as climate change, disaster prevention and relief and combating terrorism has become and will continue to be the new and most promising growth areas for international cooperation. We need to work together to ensure progress in the Cancun Conference, and remain committed to the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities" in a joint effort to meet the climate challenge. We should strike a balance between economic development and environmental protection, actively cooperate in clean energy, energy conservation and environmental protection and facilitate the growth of the green economy. We should establish and follow a new energy security concept featuring mutually beneficial cooperation, diverse development and common energy security through coordination. We should ensure the energy needs of all countries, developing countries in particular. We should join hands to fight terrorism and piracy to safeguard maritime security and normal trade flows. We should scale up cooperation in disaster prevention and reduction, draw on each other's strengths and minimize the impact of natural disasters on the lives and property of our people.

三是不断深化国际体系改革。国际金融危机的影响仍未消除，全球性风险增多与全球治理能力薄弱之间的矛盾依然存在，国际体系改革任务依然艰巨。二十国集团领导人峰会迄今已举行五次，在协调应对危机、促进世界经济复苏、开启国际经济金融体系改革进程等方面发挥了重要作用，我们应继续发挥好二十国集团作为全球经济治理主要平台的作用。推动落实国际货币基金组织、世界银行等国际金融机构改革的共识。要继续维护并加强联合国在现行国际体系中的核心地位，切实提高发展中国家在国际体系中的发言权和代表性。
Third, we should further deepen the reform of the international system. The impact of the global financial crisis can still be felt. While global risks have risen, global governance capabilities remain weak. It is an arduous task to reform the international system. The G20 has held five summits, which have played an important role in coordinating efforts against the crisis, promoting world economic recovery and launching the reform process of the international economic and financial architecture. We should continue to make good use of the G20 as the premier platform of global economic governance, and facilitate the implementation of the consensus on the reform of international financial institutions such as the IMF and the World Bank. We should continue to uphold and strengthen the central role of the United Nations in the existing international system and increase the voice and representation of developing countries in the system.

四是努力维护国际和地区的和平与稳定。朝核、伊朗核、阿富汗、苏丹等热点问题错综复杂，国际社会应在维护和平稳定环境的大前提下，积极稳妥地推动有关问题的降温和解决。在伊朗核问题上，有关各方应从大局和长远出发，加大外交努力，保持耐心，采取更加灵活、务实和主动的政策，通过对话与谈判寻求全面、长期、妥善解决，维护国际核不扩散体系和中东地区的和平与稳定。要充分尊重阿富汗的独立、主权和领土完整，积极支持阿富汗重建，共同促进阿富汗及本地区的和平稳定。应充分尊重苏丹主权，尊重苏丹人民的意愿和选择，在确保苏丹及地区和平与稳定大局的前提下，稳步推动《全面和平协议》的落实，共同维护好这一地区的和平稳定与发展。
Fourth, we should uphold international and regional peace and stability. The hotspot issues such as the Korean nuclear issue, the Iranian nuclear issue, Afghanistan and Sudan are highly complex. The international community should work actively and appropriately to ease tensions and resolve these issues in the larger context of upholding peace and stability. On the Iranian nuclear issue, the parties concerned should bear in mind the larger picture and long-term interests, step up diplomatic efforts, remain patient, adopt a more flexible, pragmatic and proactive policy, and seek a comprehensive, long-term and appropriate solution through dialogue and negotiations in order to uphold the international nuclear non-proliferation regime and peace and stability in the Middle East. On Afghanistan, we should fully respect its independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, actively support its reconstruction, and work in concert to promote peace and stability in the country and the region as a whole. On Sudan, we should fully respect its sovereignty and the will and choice of the Sudanese people. Under the precondition of ensuring peace and stability in Sudan and in the region, we should steadily promote the implementation of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and work together to uphold peace, stability and development in the region.

五是加强文明互鉴，促进人文交流。我们应充分尊重各国自主选择的发展道路，加强交流互鉴，分享有益成果。应进一步拓展文化、教育、卫生、旅游等各领域人文合作，促进民间交往，为深化全方位合作打下坚实的人文基础。中国将积极办好促进不同文明之间对话交流的论坛、研讨会等活动，为保护文化多元发展、促进人文交流做出更大贡献。
Fifth, we should enhance mutual learning among civilizations and promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges. We should fully respect the independent choice of countries on their development path, draw on each other's expertise and share the benefits of our achievements. We should further expand cooperation in the fields of culture, education, health and tourism, and promote people-to-people exchanges so as to enhance public support for the growth of all-round cooperation. China will work actively to ensure the success of various fora, seminars and other events aimed at increasing dialogue and exchanges among different civilizations and make even greater contribution to protecting the development of diverse cultures and promoting people-to-people and cultural exchanges.

女士们，先生们，
Ladies and Gentlemen,

风雨同舟者兴。展望未来，世界和亚太和平与发展面临着前所未有的机遇，也面临着各种复杂挑战。只要我们坚定信心，携手合作，就一定能够抓住机遇，化解挑战，走出一条不同文明和发展模式的国家和谐共存、合作共赢的创新之路，共同创造更加美好的明天！
As a saying goes, "Those working in unity will prevail in a storm." Looking ahead, we see unprecedented opportunities as well as complex challenges in the pursuit of peace and development in the Asia Pacific and the world at large. As long as we are resolved to work hand in hand, we will seize the opportunities and meet the challenges, and open up a new avenue for countries with different cultures and growth models to live in harmony and achieve win-win progress. Together we will create an even brighter future.

谢谢大家！
Thank you.
