Set a New Example of Mutual Benefit and Win-Win Cooperation
Remarks by H.E. Li Keqiang
Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China
At the Sixth “Hamburg Summit: China Meets Europe”
Hamburg, 11 October 2014
尊敬的施泰因迈尔外长，
尊敬的贝特尔首相，
尊敬的舒尔茨议长，
女士们，先生们：
Your Excellency Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier,
Your Excellency Prime Minister Xavier Bettel,
Your Excellency President Martin Schulz,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
很高兴出席中欧论坛汉堡峰会。汉堡素有“世界桥城”的美誉，2000多座桥构成这座城市独特的风景线。在我看来，汉堡还有更多无形的桥通向世界。汉堡自古就有自由贸易传统，13世纪就建立了汉萨同盟。现在，汉堡以欧洲最快转运港闻名于世，汉堡港装卸的集装箱每三个就有一个往来于中欧之间。从这里，我们看到的是中欧交流的悠久历史和繁华现实。
It is my great pleasure to attend the “Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe”. Known as the “City of Bridges”, Hamburg boasts a unique view with over 2,000 bridges. As I see it, Hamburg has even more intangible bridges that extend to the rest of the world. Hamburg has a time-honored tradition of free trade and had established the Hanseatic League back in the 13th century. Today, Hamburg is known to be the fastest transshipment port in Europe. In fact, one out of every three containers handled in the Port of Hamburg travels between China and Europe. this illustrates the long history and current dynamism of China-Europe exchanges.
本届中欧论坛汉堡峰会议题丰富，包括中欧相互认知、贸易和投资体制、中国的城镇化、绿色增长等等，从中能感受大家对中欧合作充满期待。合作需要加深了解，借此机会，我介绍一下中国经济当前形势和发展前景。
The “Hamburg Summit: China meets Europe” 2014 has a rich program, including topics such as how China and Europe perceive each other, trade and investment order, urbanization in China, green growth, etc. I can see from the program that there is a great deal of anticipation for China-Europe cooperation. Cooperation requires more understanding of each other, so I wish to take this opportunity to brief you on the current state and future prospects of the Chinese economy.
今年以来，面对错综复杂的国际国内环境，中国经济面临下行压力，但运行总体平稳。上半年GDP增长7.4%，第三季度基本延续这种态势。这一增速相对于中国过去10%左右的高速度，虽有所下降，但还属于中高水平。从世界范围看，我们的增长速度是高的。中国的经济总量已经相当大，现在7%的增量相当于、甚至高于过去10%的增量，也相当于一个中等经济体的规模。
Since the start of this year, in the face of a complex environment at home and abroad, the Chinese economy, under heavy downward pressure, has managed to maintain a stable performance on the whole. Its GDP grew by 7.4% in the first half of this year, a momentum that has basically continued into the third quarter. Although this figure is somewhat lower than China’s high-speed growth of about 10% in the past, it remains a medium-to-high growth rate. Worldwide, our growth rate is still high. Given China’s large economic size, the 7% increase in its economy today equals, if not exceeds, a 10% increase in its economy in the past. The increase is also equivalent to the size of a medium-sized economy.
今年年初和近几个月，中国经济一些指标出现小幅波动，但经济运行仍处于合理区间。有波动是难免的，类似波动在去年也发生过，其他国家的增长也不是一条直线。我们提出中国经济运行要保持在合理区间，今年增长的预期目标是7.5%左右。请朋友们注意，这里有个“左右”。也就是说，只要就业比较充分、物价比较稳定、居民收入同步增长、生态环保取得积极成果，经济增速比7.5%高一点、低一点，都是可以接受的。对于中国政府来说，最关注的还是就业。今年以来，虽然经济增速有所放缓，但就业不降反增。1-9月，城镇新增就业超过1000万人、与去年同期相比多增了十几万人，31个大城市调查失业率保持在5%左右。
In the beginning of this year and in recent months, there have been some small fluctuations in some of China’s economic indicators, yet the economy is still running within a reasonable range. It is inevitable to have some fluctuations, which also occurred last year. And the growth of other countries is not a perfect straight line either. We maintain that the Chinese economy needs to perform within a reasonable range. The growth target for this year is set at around 7.5%. I would like to draw your attention to the word “around”. This means that with adequate employment and relatively stable price levels, and as long as we could ensure parallel growth of household income and positive progress in protecting the environment, a growth rate slightly higher or lower than 7.5% would be considered acceptable. For the Chinese government, its focus is still on employment. Since the start of this year, although economic growth has somewhat slowed, employment has increased. From January to September, more than 10 million urban jobs were created, over 100,000 more than that of the same period of last year. Surveyed unemployment rate has stayed at around 5% in 31 big cities.
经济发展不是短跑，而是没有终点的长跑，要有一定的速度，但更重要的是看耐力和后劲。中国经济增长的质量效益在提升，这是我们希望看到的。服务业比重继续上升，电子商务、物流快递等新兴业态快速发展，高技术产业和装备制造业增长快于整个工业，产业结构调整优化“跨了栏”。节能减排也交出一份好的成绩单，上半年单位GDP能耗同比下降4.2%、碳排放强度下降5%左右，是多年来最大的降幅。我们的居民收入持续增加，消费需求平稳增长，特别是大众消费快速上升，人民群众得到了实实在在的好处。
Economic growth is not a sprint but rather long-distance running that will never end. It demands certain speed. More importantly, it demands perseverance and staying power. The quality and efficiency of China’s economic growth is improving, something that we hope to see. With the continued rise of the proportion of the service industry, the rapid development of emerging industries such as e-commerce, logistics and express delivery, and the growth of high-tech industries and equipment manufacturing faster than the entire secondary industry, the adjustment and improvement of industrial structure has progressed by leaps and bounds. We have also seen encouraging results in energy conservation and emissions reduction. Energy consumption per unit of GDP was down by 4.2%, and carbon intensity down by about 5% in the first half of this year, the biggest cuts in years. With growing household income, consumer demand is also rising steadily. In particular, consumption by the general public is increasing rapidly. People have enjoyed tangible benefits in the course of economic development.
中国经济能有这样的表现，主要靠的是改革创新。面对经济下行压力，我们没有实行“大水漫灌”式的强刺激，没有放松银根和扩大赤字，而是强力推改革，在加快行政、财税、金融、投资等重点领域改革的同时，改革和创新宏观调控方式，实施结构性调控，也就是在区间调控的基础上进行定向调控。改革对经济也是一种刺激，能够再造微观基础，优化宏观环境，激发巨大市场活力和社会创造力。我们推出一系列激活力、补短板、强实体的改革措施，就是要释放改革这一发展的巨大红利。
The Chinese economy has made these achievements thanks mainly to reform and innovation. Despite downward pressure on the economy, we have not adopted indiscriminate strong economic stimulus; nor have we ever eased monetary policy or expanded deficit. Instead, we have vigorously promoted reform in administrative, fiscal, financial, investment and other key areas and, at the same time, reformed and innovated the approaches of macro-control by promoting structural adjustment, namely targeted macro-control on the basis of range-based macro-control. Reform is also a stimulus on the economy, as it helps to improve both the micro-foundations and the macro-environment for economic growth, and could generate huge market vitality and social creativity. We have put in place a number of reform measures to incentivize market entities, strengthen weak links and boost the real economy, with an aim to release the massive dividend of reform for development.
今年以来，中国政府继续带头自我革命，大幅度简政放权，推进市场化改革，让更多的人、更多的企业展现创造创新的活力。今年3月，全面推行了工商登记制度改革，半年多来新设立的市场主体“井喷式”增长，同比增幅超过60%。这些新设立的企业大多属于小微企业和服务业，带动了上千万人就业，而且成长性强，是中国经济增长新的支撑力量。我们不仅降低市场准入门槛，采取“雪中送炭”的政策支持这些新设企业，还加强事中事后监管、创造公平竞争的市场环境，织密社会保障安全网、让创业创新者无后顾之忧，培植企业健康成长的沃土。
Since the beginning of this year, the Chinese government has continued to spearhead a “self-targeted revolution” by substantially streamlining administration and delegating powers and promoting market-based reforms so as to boost the vigor of creation and innovation for more individuals and businesses. Since the adoption of reform on the business registration system last March, we have seen an over 60% year- on-year growth, a massive upsurge, in other words, on the number of newly registered market entities over the past six months and more. These new businesses, mostly small and micro-enterprises or players in the service sector, have generated more than 10 million jobs, and have become a new pillar of China’s economic growth thanks to their strong growth prospect. We have not only lowered the threshold of market access by offering much-needed policy support to these newly-established businesses, but also enhanced on-going and ex-post oversight, created a market environment featuring fair competition, and improved the social security network, so that those involved in entrepreneurship and innovation will have no additional worries and will grow healthily on the land we have fostered for them.
谈到这个话题，我想起歌德曾经说过，“你若喜爱你自己的价值，你就得给世界创造价值”。创新创造是人类共同的理念和追求。我们采取这些改革创新举措，就是要让市场新生力量站稳脚跟、发展起来，也让更多的人看到希望、敢于跟进，在中国大地形成大众创业、万众创新的热潮。掀起这股热潮，让每个人都有机会实现成就事业、精彩人生的梦想，这可以把我们的“人口红利”转为“人才红利”，也可以完善收入分配、促进社会公平，更好实现经济可持续增长、人的全面发展。
Speaking as I am, I think of a line from Goethe, which reads “If you want to love your own value, you must create value for the world.” Innovation and creation is the common ideal and pursuit of mankind. We have adopted these measures of reform and innovation so that the newly-born market forces will grow steadily, and that more people will see the hope and follow suit. In this way, we will see a massive wave of entrepreneurship and innovation by the people on the Chinese land. This wave will help everyone to grasp the opportunity of realizing the dream of greater accomplishments and a colorful life. It will enable us to turn our “demographic dividend” into “talent dividend” and improve income distribution and promote social equity, so that we could achieve sustained economic growth and all-round development of the people.
为促进经济平稳运行，我们将在保持政策总体稳定的基础上，更加积极地作为。下一步，我们还会加大改革创新力度，不仅对体制性障碍“拆藩篱”，还对结构性矛盾“动手术”，弥补发展中的“短板”，做强实体经济的“筋骨”。比如，在财政资金、金融信贷上，盘活存量、用好增量，支持“三农”、小微企业、新兴业态等实体经济发展，继续推进中西部铁路、城镇棚户区改造、水利、污染防治等重大民生和发展工程，增加公共产品供给。有改革创新形成的强劲动能，我们对实现今年经济社会发展主要预期目标充满信心。
To ensure stable economic performance, we will be more proactive on the basis of maintaining overall policy stability. As a next step, we will further enhance reform and innovation. In addition to removing systemic obstacles, we will also address structural problems by strengthening weak links in development and in the real economy. For example, on finance and credit, we will make good use of both existing and additional resources to support the development of agriculture, rural areas, farmers, small and micro-enterprises, emerging industries and other forms of the real economy. We will continue to advance major livelihood and development projects such as railways in Central and Western China, renovation of urban run-down areas, water conservancy and pollution prevention and treatment, and make efforts to increase the supply of public goods. With the strong driving force of reform and innovation, we have every confidence that we could achieve the main targets for this year’s economic and social development.
中国经济已经持续快速发展了30多年，未来发展依然有充沛的动力源，前景是光明的，因为我们的经济有巨大的增长韧性、市场空间和回旋余地。在座的不少是中国工商界的老朋友，如大家所感受到的，中国的人力资源素质在提高，基础设施完备，产业配套性好，资金与技术有一定积累，经济抗风险能力强，这些都是我们的综合优势。认识中国，需要立体地透视。中国是一个13亿多人口的大国，城乡之间、区域之间发展不平衡，工业化、城镇化还有很长的路要走。广阔的农村和内陆腹地，可以使经济梯度发展、渐次开花，蕴藏着巨大的发展潜能。改革创新是潜能最好的“挖掘机”。中国人民吃苦耐劳，正在用自己的智慧创新体制、创新科技，推动中国经济保持中高速增长、迈向中高端水平。
The Chinese economy has been growing in a sustained and rapid manner for over 30 years, and it still has ample source of energy for future development. It has a bright prospect, thanks to its strong resilience of growth, as well as the huge market space and ample room for leverage. many of you are old friends of the Chinese business community. As you may have noticed, China does have a number of advantages such as improved human resources, well-developed infrastructure, industries, capitals and technologies, and strong risk-resistance capability. Yet to know a country like China well, one also needs to see more than that, as China is a big country with over 1.3 billion people and there is uneven development between the urban and rural areas and among different regions. Much remains to be done before we could realize industrialization and urbanization. The broad space in China’s rural areas and inland provinces allows the economy to grow in an incremental and gradual manner, and these are where we find still a huge potential for development. As I see it, reform and innovation is the best “excavator” to bring out the potential. The diligent and hardworking Chinese people are making innovations on the system and science and technology development through their own wisdom, thus ensuring that the Chinese economy will maintain medium to high growth rate and move to the medium-and-higher end of growth.
中国的发展是开放的发展。中国经济发展离不开世界，世界经济的繁荣也需要中国。中国经济不会出现有人担心的“硬着陆”，而是会给国际经济带来正面影响，是世界经济复苏的重要推动力量。这有利于中欧经贸合作和互利共赢。
China’s development is open development. The Chinese economy cannot develop without the world, and prosperity of the global economy also needs China. The Chinese economy will not head for a “hard-landing” as some have worried about. On the contrary, it will bear positively on the global economy, and serve as a significant force propelling world economic recovery. That, I believe, is conducive to China-Europe business cooperation and ensures mutual benefit and win-win outcomes in our cooperation.
中国的发展需要和平的国际环境和稳定的周边环境。在世界政治经济形势错综复杂的情况下，中国是维护世界和平的重要力量，也致力于维护地区稳定与安全。希望各国携手共进，相互尊重，和平相处，共同发展。
China’s development requires a peaceful international environment and a stable neighboring environment. As the global political and economic environment remains complex, China makes a major force for upholding world peace, and China is committed to upholding stability and security at the regional level. China hopes that countries may join hands, respect and live in peace with each other and seek to achieve common development.
女士们，先生们！
Ladies and Gentlemen,
我多次来过欧洲。欧洲有着悠久的历史、璀璨的文化，经济与科技发达，作为世界上十分重要的战略一极，对维护世界和平有着特殊的贡献。欧洲关注中国，中国也关注欧洲。我们看到，欧洲在稳定经济、重振竞争力中采取的努力已见成效，银行业联盟建设迈出重要步伐，重债国结构性改革取得进展，国债收益率明显下降，相信经受危机考验的欧洲会变得更加强大和昌盛。
I have visited Europe a number of times. Europe boasts a long history and splendid cultures and is advanced in economy, science and technology. As a major pillar of the world that carries strategic significance, Europe contributes in its own way to safeguarding world peace. Europe cares about China and has an interest in China, and I believe the same is true with China about Europe. We are heartened to see the positive results in Europe’s efforts to stabilize economy and regain its competitiveness. important steps have been made towards the building of a banking union , and progress has been achieved in the structural reforms of the deeply indebted countries, with a notable drop of the treasury bond yields. We believe that Europe will emerge even stronger and more prosperous from the crisis.
近40年的中欧关系，已由一棵小苗长成枝繁叶茂的大树，这棵树上挂满了累累果实。无论是政治互信、经贸合作还是人文交流，都达到了前所未有的高度。中欧建交以来，双方贸易增长了230多倍，现在平均每天就有15亿美元的贸易往来。也就是说，在我演讲的这20分钟里，中欧之间达成了几千万美元的合作。共同利益的纽带使双边关系充满吸引力和扩展力，这让我们对中欧未来充满信心。
Over the past four decades, the China-Europe relationship has grown from a seedling into a luxuriant tree that has borne rich fruits. Our political trust, economic cooperation and people-to-people exchanges have all scaled unprecedented heights. Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, trade between China and Europe has increased by over 230 folds. Every day, some US$1.5 billion worth of trade is being conducted between the two sides, which means that during the twenty minutes of my speech today, the two sides have already concluded trade deals worth tens of millions of US dollars. The bond of common interests between us makes China-Europe relations even more appealing and expansible, which gives us every reason to be confident in the future of China and Europe.
中国和欧洲是两大战略力量，肩负推动全球经济发展、促进人类文明进步、维护世界和平的崇高使命，双方正在形成不断放大的战略交集。今年春天，习近平主席访问欧洲，倡导中欧共同努力建造和平、增长、改革、文明四座桥梁，建设更具全球影响力的中欧全面战略伙伴关系，把中欧关系推向了新的高度。我们愿与欧方一道，把握好双方关系的发展航向，在国际上树立起互利共赢的新标杆。中国是最大的新兴市场国家，欧盟是最大的发达经济体，“最大”与“最大”交融、一切都有可能，“新兴”与“发达”携手、优势就会倍增，中欧在新兴和发达经济体合作中可以成为典范。中国和欧洲分处欧亚大陆的两端，这块大陆是世界上面积最大的大陆，也是人口最多的大陆，市场空间广阔，发展机遇巨大，中欧可以在促进亚欧地区繁荣发展、实现共赢多赢中作出更大贡献。中欧都主张国际关系民主化，在许多国际重大事务上有共同利益，双方关系具有越来越重要的全球影响，在世界和平与全球善治中可以紧握双手。中欧都有伟大的文明，都有理性考量和哲学思辨的传统，中国推崇“和而不同”，欧盟倡导“多元一体”， 13亿多中国人与7亿多欧洲人命运相连、前途相关，中欧在不同文明包容互鉴中可以成为引领。
China and Europe are two major strategic forces. We both undertake the lofty mission of promoting global economy, advancing human civilization and progress and safeguarding world peace. The two sides are expanding their converging strategic interests. During his visit to Europe last spring, President Xi Jinping called on China and Europe to work jointly to build the four bridges for peace, growth, reform and civilization between the two sides and a China-EU comprehensive strategic partnership of greater global influence, which brought our relationship to a new height. We are ready to work with the European side to keep the development of our relationship on the right track and jointly set up a new model of mutual benefit and win-win cooperation in the world. China is the largest emerging market and the EU the largest developed economy. Nothing is impossible when the two “largests” converge. And strength will be multiplied if the “emerging” meets the “developed”. China-EU cooperation may serve as a fine example of that between the emerging and developed economies. China and Europe are located at the two ends of the Eurasian continent, the biggest landmass on earth and the most populous continent in the world with huge market and great development opportunities. Together China and Europe may contribute even more to promoting prosperity and development and achieving win-win and all-win development in Asia and Europe. Both sides call for greater democracy in international relations and we share common interests on many major international issues. Our relationship is acquiring more and more important global significance. The two sides may join hands in the course of promoting world peace and global governance. Both China and Europe enjoy splendid culture and the tradition of objective reasoning and speculative philosophy. While China advocates “harmony without uniformity”, the EU stands for “unity in diversity”. The 1.3 billion Chinese people and the 700 million European people have a common destiny and a common future. China and Europe may well take the lead in promoting mutual learning and inclusiveness between different civilizations.
欧洲正致力于一体化进程，无论全球风云如何变幻，中国对欧盟的支持始终如一，支持欧洲联合自强，支持欧盟在国际事务中发挥更大作用。我们也希望欧盟继续理解和支持中国选择的符合自身国情的发展道路，尊重和照顾中国的核心利益。
Europe is committed to its integration process. No matter what may change in the international arena, China’s support to the EU will remain unchanged. We support Europe in seeking greater strength through unity and a bigger role played by the EU in international affairs. We also hope the EU will continue to understand and support the development path chosen by China that suits its own national conditions and continue to respect and accommodate China’s core interests.
女士们，先生们！
Ladies and Gentlemen,
我们身处一个新技术革命和产业变革的时代，当前中欧都处于发展的关键时期，都面临稳定增长、调整结构、促进就业的共同任务，双方深化务实合作既有客观要求，又有难得机遇。中国有句古话，“掘井九轫，必得其水”，我们应当像挖井一样深挖合作潜力。在此，我提出几点建议：
We live in the age of new technology revolution and industrial transformation. Both China and Europe are at a critical development stage and are faced with the common task of maintaining growth, readjusting structure and creating more jobs. To deepen the results-oriented cooperation is an objective need for both sides and both face rare opportunities in doing so. There is an old saying in China which goes, “You will surely see water coming out if you really dig deep enough”. We should indeed tap deeper into our cooperation potential the way we dig a well. Along that line, let me make the following proposals:
一是共谋贸易发展“大棋局”。中欧经济总量占世界经济的1/3，双方贸易总量占全球贸易的比重只有1.5%。这两个数据虽然不能简单相比，但也说明双边经贸还有很大的成长空间。这种空间既表现在扩大规模上，也表现在优化结构上，这就需要精心布局、做大做优。我这次访德期间，中德两国商务界达成了100多亿美元的协议，不仅有商品贸易，而且有技术合作，你来我往。我们注意到，欧洲计划投资500亿欧元用于交通、能源和数字网络建设，希望欧方积极采用中国有性价比优势的高铁、核电等装备。对华高技术产品出口问题，中方一直关注，希望欧方在即将推行的出口管制改革中，公平对待中方。中欧应共同反对各种形式的贸易保护主义，我们愿与欧方就无线通信反补贴案积极磋商，尽快达成共识。中欧建立自贸区，对于提升贸易水平很有意义，双方可以尽早启动可行性研究。
First, we should make a “grand strategy” to promote growth in trade. China and Europe together account for one third of the world economy, but our trade makes a mere 1.5% of global trade. Although we cannot simply draw a comparison between these two figures, this does speak to the huge potential of growth of bilateral trade. Such a potential is not just about larger scale but also about improved structure. Therefore, we need to make good planning in order to increase both the scale and quality of trade. During my current visit, our two business communities have concluded some US$10 billion of agreements, which include both trade of products and technical cooperation between the two sides. We have taken note of Europe’s plan to invest 50 billion euros in the building of transport, energy and digital networks. We hope that the European side will favorably consider using Chinese equipment in high-speed railway, nuclear power and other projects, as our equipment is low in cost but high in quality. We have long expressed concern over the issue of European high-tech exports to China, and we hope that the European side will give China fair treatment in effecting the upcoming reform of its export control regime. China and Europe should jointly oppose trade protectionism of all forms. We are ready to conduct consultations with the EU in search of an early consensus on the case of wireless communications equipment. The establishment of a China-EU free trade area will be a significant step for upgrading two-way trade, and the two sides may launch feasibility studies on it at an earlier date.
二是推动投资进入“快车道”。投资合作是中欧关系战略性的体现。现在双方投资发展机会多、态势好，应顺势而为，在产业发展、园区建设等领域支持企业扩大投资。中欧早日达成投资协定，能够为相互投资保驾护航，应加快谈判进程，尽快取得成果。希望欧方对中国企业赴欧投资提供更加公正透明的营商环境，在市场准入、入境签证、工作许可等方面提供更多便利。中欧之间还可以采取联合投资等方式，开发第三方市场，实现多赢发展。
Second, we should take bilateral investment onto the “fast track”. Investment cooperation is the manifestation of the strategic nature of China-EU relations. China and Europe should seize the favorable opportunities, build on the strong momentum of investment growth, and support their companies in expanding investment in such areas as industrial development and industrial parks. The early conclusion of a China-Europe investment agreement will provide strong guarantee for mutual investment. The two sides need to speed up the negotiation process and work for early outcomes. We hope that the European side will create a more equitable and transparent business environment for Chinese companies investing in Europe, and provide China with more facilitations on market access, entry visa, work permit and other issues. China and Europe may also work together to explore market opportunities in third countries through joint investment and other means in order to deliver benefits to all sides.
三是开辟创新合作“深海域”。中欧都致力于结构性改革和经济升级，这为拓展新技术、新产业、新领域合作提供了新机遇。前年我访问欧洲，中欧建立了城镇化合作机制，这方面无论是“硬件”还是“软件”合作都大有可为。在绿色经济领域，欧洲有优势，中国有市场，我们希望双方合作建设一批循环经济、节能环保示范区，以增强聚集和放大效应。推进航空航天中长期合作，加强轨道交通运营、维护和管理合作，也是双方努力的方向。
Third, we should explore the “deep ocean” of cooperation on innovation. China and Europe are both committed to conducting structural reform and upgrading economic structure. This has provided new opportunities for us to expand cooperation in new technologies, new industries and new sectors. When I visited Europe in 2012, the two sides launched the mechanism of urbanization cooperation. This is an area where a lot could be achieved through cooperation on both the “hardware” and the “software” aspects. In the area of green economy, Europe has advantages while China has the market. We believe the two sides may jointly develop a group of demonstration zones on circular economy, energy conservation and environmental protection in order to maximize the catalytic and multiplying effect of our cooperation. The two sides may also make a joint effort to advance medium- to long-term cooperation in aviation and space, and strengthen cooperation in the operation, maintenance and management of rail transport systems.
人文交流就像一个解码器，能够解开彼此的隔阂，织密心灵和情感的纽带。在徳国莱法州有一位食品加工师，30多年来往返中德250多次，不仅把自己的生产技术带到中国，还为中国地震灾区捐款，资助失学儿童。这位友好人士称自己是“一个85%的中国人”。这是中德、中欧友好的一个生动写照，也是一种“全息”缩影。现在，中欧每年有500多万人员往来，到对方国家留学的学生总数近30万人。双方应进一步加强教育、科技、文化、体育等领域交流，鼓励文化产业和产品服务领域的合作，扩大人员特别是青年人往来，使中欧关系扎根深处、更加稳固。
People-to-people exchanges, like a decoder, serves to dispel misgivings and forge closer bonds between people’s hearts. I know that there is a food process engineer in the Rheinland-Pfalz State of Germany, who has visited China more than 250 times in the past thirty years and more. He has brought to China the technologies he knows, offered donations to areas hit by earthquakes, and provided funding support for school drop-outs. This friend of China called himself an “85% Chinese”. His story is a perfect showcase and epitome of China-Germany and China-Europe friendship. Now, more than five million people travel between China and Europe each year, and nearly 300,000 students are studying in each other’s countries. We need to further strengthen exchanges in education, science and technology, culture, sports and other fields, encourage cooperation between our cultural industries and in areas of products and services, and expand personnel exchanges, especially the interactions between our young people, so as to lay a deeper and stronger foundation for China-EU relations.
女士们，先生们！
Ladies and Gentlemen,
中德关系已经走在中欧关系的前列。42年前的今天，中国同联邦德国建交。现在的中德关系日趋成熟。这次我访问德国，双方发表了《中德合作行动纲要》，为两国各领域中长期合作制定了具体方案和措施。我们愿与德方一道，继续携手共进，使中德关系更上层楼。
China-Germany relations have always been at the forefront of China-EU relations. On this very day 42 years ago, China established diplomatic relations with the Federal Republic of Germany. Today, this relationship has become much more mature. During my visit this time, the two sides have issued the Program of Action for China-Germany Cooperation, which includes specific plans and measures for advancing bilateral cooperation in various areas over the medium and longer terms. We are ready to continue to work with the German side to take this relationship to a new height.
中欧论坛汉堡峰会走过了10年历程。10年来峰会为中德关系、中欧关系发展作出了贡献，在座的朋友们长期以来为双方的务实合作添砖加瓦，我要向你们表示感谢！峰会是智慧相激之地，灵感纵横之所。德国人常说，“信念能移山”。中国也有一个“愚公移山”的寓言。在这个机遇与挑战并存的世界，有开放的信念、合作的信念，就能跨越山川海洋的重重阻隔，走出一条互利共赢的宽广道路。
The Hamburg Summit has entered its tenth year. Over the past decade, the summit has made contribution to the growth of China’s relations with Germany and with Europe as a whole, and our friends present have also provided valuable insights for enhancing practical cooperation between the two sides. I wish to take this opportunity to express my thanks to you all. The summit is a place where we can gain new inspirations through the exchange of ideas. The Germans often say, “Faith can move mountains.” And back in China, we have a similar story about a “foolish old man” who is determined to remove mountains that block his way. In a world of both opportunities and challenges, faith in openness and in cooperation could help us overcome the distance of mountains and oceans and embark on a journey toward mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.
最后，祝贺本届峰会圆满成功。谢谢大家！
To conclude, I wish the summit a full success. Thank you.
