（2014年10月27日）

尊敬的张志贤副总理阁下，

尊敬的张高丽副总理阁下，

各位理事、各位代表：

Your Excellency Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean,

Your Excellency Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli,

Members and Delegates:

首先，我谨代表中华人民共和国商务部，同意双边工作委员会提呈理事会审议的工作报告，赞同双边工作委员会主席就工作报告所作的说明。同时，对苏州工业园区成立20年所取得的成绩感到由衷的欣喜，对新加坡有关方面一直以来给予园区的支持表示真诚的感谢。

First of all, on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce of China, I would like to express my agreement with the work report of the bilateral working committee presented to the council, and the interpretation made by the president of the bilateral working committee. At the same time, I am glad with the achievements gained by the Suzhou Industrial Park during the 20 years since its foundation, and sincerely thankful to Singapore’s support to the park.

苏州工业园区的发展历程，是中国改革开放和社会主义现代化建设的成功缩影，也是中新两国平等互利、精诚合作的真实写照。20年来，苏州工业园区在规划建设、招商引资、科技发展、社会治理、体制机制创新等方面取得了显著成效，成为新时期中国对外开放和开发区建设的成功典范。尽管苏州工业园区在开发建设过程中也不可避免地遇到过困难和挑战，但是，双方始终坚持苏州工业园区发展目标不动摇，真诚以待、和衷共济，依靠双方的智慧和力量解决各种难题，创造了令合作双方自豪的成绩。这些成绩的取得，得益于两国领导人的亲切关怀，得益于双方各理事单位的大力支持，也得益于江苏省、苏州市和园区建设者们的不懈努力。

The development history of the Suzhou Industrial Park is a successful epitome of China’s reform and opening up, as well as the socialist modernization, and also a mirror of the equality, reciprocity and sincere cooperation between China and Singapore. During the 20 years, the Suzhou Industrial Park has gained remarkable achievements on planning and construction, business and investment inviting, scientific and technological development, social governance and system and mechanism innovation, becoming a successful model of China’s opening up and development area construction in the new era. There were inevitable difficulties and challenges during the construction of the Suzhou Industrial Park, but the two parties always adhere to the development goal of the park, working together with one heart and sincerity, and solve all kinds of difficulties with the wisdom and strength of the two parties, creating splendid achievements. These achievements are attributable to the kind concern of the leaders of the two countries, the support from the members of the council, and the unremitting efforts of Jiangsu province, Suzhou city and the builders of the park.

商务部作为中方理事会牵头单位，对园区发展一直予以高度重视，会同各理事单位一起加大对园区在科技创新、金融服务以及服务业开放等方面的支持力度。今年是园区开发建设20周年，园区又将迎来一个新的发展阶段。

As a leading member of the council of the Chinese side, the Ministry of Commerce has always paid high attention to the development of the park, and together with other council members, strengthened support to the park in scientific and technological innovation, financial services and opening up of the service industry. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the park, representing the start of a new development stage.

希望园区全面总结开发建设成果和中新合作经验，充分发挥双边合作优势，不断深化合作内涵，扩大合作领域，更加突出以市场为主的开发建设模式，推动园区社会管理创新，加快转型升级、创新发展，为推进中国产业优化升级和新型城镇化建设提供有益借鉴。商务部与各中方理事单位将一如既往地支持园区发展，解决园区建设中遇到的实际困难和问题，为中新友好合作和苏州工业园区进一步发展作出积极的贡献。

I hope that the park would comprehensively summarize its development achievements and the experience of China-Singapore cooperation, give full play of the advantages of bilateral cooperation, continuously deepen cooperation connotation, expanding cooperation fields, highlight the development mode centered on market, promote the innovation of social management, speed up transformation and upgrading, and accelerate innovative development, in order to provide experience to China’s industrial upgrading and optimization and new-type urbanization. The Ministry of Commerce and other council members will support the development of the park as always, solve the difficulties and problems during the construction, and make positive contributions to China-Singapore friendly cooperation and the further development of the park.

谢谢两位副总理，谢谢大家。

My thanks to the two vice premiers, and thank you all.
