女士们，先生们!
Ladies and Gentlemen,
当前，中国经济尽管面临下行压力，但运行总体平稳，主要指标企稳向好，结构调整出现积极变化。中国市场广阔，具有巨大的韧性、潜力和回旋余地，我们有信心完成今年经济社会发展主要目标任务，并长期保持经济中高速增长，迈向中高端水平。中国将继续全面深化改革，对外开放的大门将越开越大，不仅为世界经济稳定复苏增添动力，也将为各国发展带来新的机遇。
At present, despite downward pressure, the Chinese economy is running stable in general. Main indicators are stabilizing and improving. Structural readjustment has seen positive changes. China has a huge market, tremendous resilience, and great potential to leverage. We have the confidence to meet the main targets of economic and social development set for this year. China will maintain a mid-to-high speed of growth and move towards the mid-to-high end of development in the long run. China will continue to comprehensively deepen reform and open wider to the outside. This will not only add to the momentum of world economic recovery, but also bring new opportunity to help the development of other countries.
近代欧洲著名哲学家莱布尼茨在《中国近事》一书中写道：“中国人以观察见长，而我们以思考领先，正宜两好合一，互相取长补短，用一盏灯点燃另一盏灯。”中国古代先贤曾经说过，坐而言不如起而行，言必信、行必果。在座许多人都见证了中欧关系过去40年发展的辉煌历程。我们不仅要做观察者和思考者，更要做行动者和创造者。让我们携起手来，共同为中欧合作的美好未来添砖加瓦，相信中欧会有更加辉煌的未来40年!
Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the great philosopher of Europe, wrote in Novissima Sinica that the Chinese are good at observation, while we lead in thinking. It is good if those two strengths can combine and draw upon each other, and enlighten each other. While an ancient Chinese sage said that “it is better to rise and take action than to sit and talk” and that “one should honor his words with deeds”. Many of you present have witnessed the extraordinary journey of growth in China-EU relations over the past four decades. Not only should we observe and think, but we should also act and create. Let us join hands to foster an even better future of China-EU cooperation. I am confident that together China and Europe will witness an even more brilliant 40 years ahead.
谢谢大家!
Thank you very much.
