希望对话成为中美经贸关系的推进器。两国地方省州是中美经贸合作的主力军。过去10年,美国有47个州对华出口增幅达到3位数甚至4位数。近年来,中国各省企业对美投资快速增长,为美国经济和就业做出贡献。清洁能源、节能环保、生物医药、基础设施等领域是中美经贸合作新的重要增长点。希望两国地方把握机遇,积极开拓,把互利共赢的中美经贸合作提升到更高水平。
I hope that the dialogue will become a propeller of China-US business ties. Subnational efforts represent a large part of our overall trade and economic cooperation. Forty-seven US states have seen three- and even four-digit growth in their exports to China in the past decade and investment by local Chinese businesses in the United States has grown rapidly and contributed to the US economy and job creation in recent years. Clean energy, energy conservation, environmental protection, biomedicine and infrastructure are the new important growth areas in China-US economic cooperation. I hope that the provinces and states will make the most of these opportunities and take the mutually beneficial economic cooperation between our two countries to an even higher level.
希望对话成为中美人民间的友谊桥梁。中美关系的根基在人民,动力源泉也在人民。中美人民友好交往日益密切,每年人员往来超过300万人次,平均每天8000多人往返于太平洋两岸。两国地方高校、媒体、智库、青年、民间团体之间加强文化、教育、艺术、体育等形式多样的交流与合作,将在中美间架起更多友谊与合作的桥梁。希望中美两国地方政府携手合作,为此发挥引领作用。
I hope that the dialogue will become a bridge of friendship between the people of our countries. People represent both the foundation and source of strength for China-US relations. The friendly exchanges between the Chinese and American people have increasingly intensified. Each year, over three million visits are made between China and the United States. Everyday, more than 8,000 people on average travel across the Pacific. Enhanced and diverse exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and American universities, media, think tanks, youths and civil societies in culture, education, art and sports will forge more friendships and partnerships between China and the United States. I hope that the provincial, state and local governments of China and the United States will join hands and lead such exchanges.
金秋十月是收获的季节。我谨预祝本次对话圆满成功,取得丰硕成果,为中美关系发展添上浓墨重彩的一笔。
Fall is the season of harvest. I wish the dialogue full success, leaving an indelible imprint on China-US relations.
谢谢大家。
Thank you.
