尊敬的各位国家元首、国际组织负责人，

各位来宾，

女士们，先生们，朋友们：

Your Excellencies Heads of State and International Organizations,

Distinguished Guests,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

大家好！很高兴同各位朋友“云端”相聚。首先，我谨对中国国际贸易促进委员会建会70周年，表示热烈的祝贺！对出席全球贸易投资促进峰会的各方嘉宾，表示诚挚的欢迎！对长期以来关心支持中国改革开放和现代化建设的海内外各界人士，表示衷心的感谢和美好的祝愿！

Good evening. It is a great pleasure to meet you all online. To begin with, I wish to offer my warmest congratulations on the 70th anniversary of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and a sincere welcome to all guests attending the Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit. I also wish to express our heartfelt appreciation and best regards to friends from all walks of life at home and overseas for your longstanding care and support to China’s reform, opening-up and modernization efforts.

中国贸促会1952年成立以来，立足中国、面向世界，为拉紧中外企业利益纽带、推动国际经贸往来、促进国家关系发展，发挥了重要作用。中国贸促会始终把服务中外企业作为立身之本，促进贸易和投资，推动制度型开放，在国际经贸仲裁、知识产权服务、商事调解等领域积极探索创新，同各国工商界加强沟通联系，为中外经贸合作牵线搭桥，积极推动经济全球化朝着更加开放、包容、普惠、平衡、共赢方向发展。中国贸促会70年的历程，是中国不断扩大对外开放的重要体现，也是各国企业共享发展机遇、实现互利共赢的重要见证。

Founded in 1952 as a China-based institution with a global outlook, the CCPIT has been playing an important role in strengthening the bond of interest between Chinese and foreign businesses, promoting international economic and trade exchanges, and facilitating state-to-state relations. True to its founding mission of serving Chinese and foreign businesses, the Council has worked to promote trade and investment and advance China’s institutional opening-up. It has explored innovations in international economic and trade arbitration, intellectual property right services, and commercial mediation, among others. It has kept up close ties with business communities across countries, provided platforms and opportunities for trade and economic cooperation between China and the rest of the world, and contributed to an economic globalization that is more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial for all. The 70-year journey of the CCPIT has been an epitome of China’s ever-expanding opening-up endeavor, and an important witness of how businesses from different countries could share in development opportunities and benefit from win-win cooperation.

希望中国贸促会继续开拓奋进、追求卓越，织密服务企业网，扩大国际朋友圈，在推动高质量发展、构建新发展格局、推动建设开放型世界经济中再接再厉，争取更大成绩。

It is my hope that the Council will continue to break new ground with its tradition of excellence, strengthen its service network for businesses, expand its international circle of friends, and score still greater achievements in contributing to high-quality development and a new development paradigm in China and to an open world economy.

女士们、先生们、朋友们！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

当前，百年变局和世纪疫情交织，经济全球化遭遇逆流，世界进入新的动荡变革期。各国工商界对和平发展的期盼更加殷切，对公平正义的呼声更加强烈，对合作共赢的追求更加迫切。我愿提出4点建议。

Our world is facing a pandemic and drastic changes both unseen in a century. Economic globalization is experiencing headwinds, and the world is entering a new period of volatility and transformation. Now more than ever, business communities across the world yearn for peace and development, call for fairness and justice, and aspire for win-win cooperation. For this to happen, I would advise efforts on the following four fronts.

第一，聚力战胜疫情。当前，新冠肺炎疫情反复延宕，传播速度加快，给人民生命安全和身体健康带来严重威胁，给世界经济发展带来严重影响。要坚持人民至上、生命至上，积极开展疫苗研发、生产、分配国际合作，加强全球公共卫生治理，共筑多重抗疫防线，推动建设人类卫生健康共同体。

First, we need to pull together to defeat COVID-19. The pandemic has been going on unabated. Resurging with ever faster transmission, it is posing a serious threat to the life and health of the people, and taking a heavy toll on the world economy. We must put people and their lives first, actively engage in international cooperation on vaccine R&D, production and distribution, bolster global public health governance, jointly build multiple lines of defense against the virus, and work for a global community of health for all.

第二，重振贸易投资。要统筹疫情防控和经济发展，加强各国宏观经济政策协调，推动世界经济早日走出危机阴影。中方提出全球发展倡议，呼吁各方共同努力，全面推进联合国2030年可持续发展议程。要推动世界经济动力转换、方式转变、结构调整，使世界经济走上长期健康稳定发展轨道。要支持以世界贸易组织为核心的多边贸易体制，维护全球产业链供应链安全稳定，做大合作蛋糕，让发展成果更好惠及各国人民。

Second, we need to reinvigorate trade and investment. We need to balance pandemic response and economic development, strengthen macroeconomic policy coordination across countries, and get the global economy out of the woods at an early date. China has put forward a Global Development Initiative, which calls for concerted efforts to advance the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in all respects. We need to help the global economy upgrade its growth drivers, shift its growth model and adjust its structure so as to steer it onto a track of long-term, healthy and stable growth. We should support the WTO-centered multilateral trading regime, ensure security and stability of the global industrial and supply chains, and make the “pie” of cooperation bigger to allow development gains to better trickle down to people of all countries.

第三，坚持创新驱动。要挖掘创新增长潜力，共同加强知识产权保护，在充分参与、凝聚共识的基础上制定规则，为科技发展打造开放、公平、公正、非歧视的环境。要深化创新交流合作，推动科技同经济深度融合，加强创新成果共享，努力打破制约知识、技术、人才等创新要素流动的壁垒，让创新源泉充分涌流。

Third, we need to unleash the power of innovation in driving development. We should tap into the potential of innovation in spurring growth, jointly step up intellectual property protection, make rules on the basis of extensive participation and consensus building, and foster an open, fair, equitable and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological development. We should intensify exchanges and cooperation on innovation, facilitate integration of science and technology with economic growth, increase the sharing of innovation results, and remove all barriers that hamper the flow of knowledge, technology, talent and other factors of innovation. By doing so, we will better unleash the gushing vitality of innovation.

第四，完善全球治理。当今世界，各国前途命运紧密相连，在国际上搞“小圈子”只会把世界推向分裂和对抗。要坚持真正的多边主义，践行共商共建共享的全球治理观，动员全球资源，应对全球挑战，促进全球发展。要坚持对话而不对抗、拆墙而不筑墙、融合而不脱钩、包容而不排他，以公平正义为理念引领全球治理体系变革。

Fourth, we need to improve on global governance. In today’s world, the future of all countries is closely linked. Seeking exclusive blocs will only lead the world to division and confrontation. We should uphold true multilateralism, embrace a global governance vision featuring extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and mobilize resources from across the world to meet global challenges and advance global development. We should choose dialogue over confrontation, tear down walls rather than erect walls, pursue integration instead of decoupling, opt for inclusiveness, not exclusion, and guide reforms of the global governance system with the principle of fairness and justice.

我愿重申，中国扩大高水平开放的决心不会变，中国开放的大门只会越开越大。中国将持续打造市场化法治化国际化营商环境，高水平实施《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》，推动高质量共建“一带一路”，为全球工商界提供更多市场机遇、投资机遇、增长机遇。

I wish to reiterate that China’s resolve to open up at a high standard will not change, and that the door of China will open still wider to the world. China will continue to foster an enabling business environment that is based on market principles, governed by law and up to international standards. We will pursue high-standard implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement and high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, and offer more market, investment and growth opportunities to the global business community.

女士们、先生们、朋友们！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

让我们携起手来，坚持和平、发展、合作、共赢，共同解决当前世界经济以及国际贸易和投资面临的问题，一起走向更加美好的未来！

Let us join hands to uphold peace, development, cooperation and win-win partnership, work together to meet the problems facing the global economy, trade and investment, and jointly usher in an even brighter future.

预祝大会取得圆满成功！

To conclude, I wish the Conference a full success.
