中英对照:丁薛祥在第23届中国—东盟博览会暨中国—东盟商务与投资峰会开幕式上的致辞 [2]

Address by Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang at opening ceremony of 23rd China-ASEAN Expo, China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit [2]

回首过去,已是硕果累累;展望未来,还需携手共进。中国—东盟自贸区3.0版升级议定书生效实施后,将同《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)形成更为强劲的“双轮驱动”,为区域经济发展注入源源不断的新动能。下面,围绕建设好更高水平的中国—东盟自贸区,我愿提出4点建议。
Looking back, we have gained fruitful results; looking ahead, we need to move forward hand in hand. After coming into effect, the CAFTA 3.0 Upgrade Protocol will forge greater synergy with the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), and inject enduring impetus into economic development in the region. Now, I wish to make four proposals on how to build a higher-level CAFTA.
第一,推动区域开放水平全面提升。3.0版升级议定书立足地区特点和需要,借鉴国际高标准经贸规则,探索建立更为完善的合作框架和机制化安排,将为区域合作发展提供良好制度保障。我们要深化标准、技术法规、合格评定等领域合作,健全竞争和消费者保护、中小微企业等领域制度,加快建设开放、包容、以规则为基础的区域一体化大市场。中国将扩大高水平对外开放,以服务业为重点扩大市场准入和开放领域,同东盟共享发展机遇,促进区域经济深层次一体化和长期稳定增长。
First, we should advance a comprehensive improvement of opening up in the region. Tailored to the characteristics and needs of this region, the 3.0 Upgrade Protocol has incorporated high-standard trade and economic rules, explored ways to build more robust cooperation frameworks and institutionalized arrangements, and will provide stronger institutional support for regional cooperation and development. We should deepen cooperation in standards, technical regulations, and conformity assessment, strengthen institution building in competition, consumer protection, and micro, small, and medium enterprises, and move faster toward an integrated regional market that is open, inclusive, and rules-based. China will expand high-standard opening up, expand market access, and open up more areas, particularly in the service sector. We will share development opportunities with ASEAN and promote deep regional economic integration and long-term and stable development.
第二,推动贸易投资合作提质升级。中国和东盟人口占全球四分之一、经济总量超过23万亿美元,资源禀赋各异,产业互补性很强。双方对贸易投资自由化便利化作出更高水平的承诺和安排,体现了携手应对国际经贸挑战的信心和决心。我们要践行真正的多边主义,进一步拓展经贸合作深度和广度,共同维护地区和全球产业链供应链稳定畅通。中国愿发挥完整产业体系、超大规模市场等优势,加强双向投资合作,进口更多东盟优质产品,让合作成果更好造福地区人民。
Second, we should upgrade cooperation in trade and investment. Together, China and ASEAN member states have a quarter of the world's population, and a combined economic output of US$23 trillion. We have diverse resources and our industries are highly complementary. The two sides have set higher-standard commitments and arrangements for trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, demonstrating our confidence and determination for jointly tackling challenges in international trade and economy. We should practice true multilateralism, further expand and deepen economic and trade cooperation, and work together to safeguard stable and smooth industrial and supply chains in this region and beyond. China has a complete industrial system and a vast market. We are ready to leverage these advantages, increase two-way investment cooperation with ASEAN, import more fine products from ASEAN countries, and make our cooperation outcomes better benefit people in the region.
第三,推动新兴领域合作走深走实。将高水平开放合作拓展到数字经济、绿色经济等新兴领域,是中国和东盟自贸合作实践的新突破。我们要抓住新一轮科技革命和产业变革机遇,共同推进区域数字经济发展,深化人工智能等领域技术研发与场景应用合作,充分释放创新驱动效能。努力消除环境产品和服务贸易壁垒,推动绿色发展与经贸合作相互促进。中国愿同东盟加强经验交流,提供先进技术和产品,打造区域经济高质量发展新引擎。
Third, we should deepen and cement cooperation in emerging areas. Extending high-standard opening up and cooperation to emerging areas such as digital economy and green economy marks a new breakthrough in free trade cooperation between China and ASEAN countries. We should seize opportunities of the ongoing technological revolution and industrial transformation, work together to advance the development of digital economy in the region, deepen cooperation in technology R&D and scenario-based applications in areas including AI, and fully unleash innovation-driven efficiency. We should work to remove trade barriers to environmental goods and services, and promote mutual reinforcement of green development and economic and trade cooperation. China stands ready to enhance experience sharing with ASEAN member states and provide advanced technologies and products, with a view to creating a new engine for high-quality development in the region.
第四,推动互联互通更加便捷高效。中国和东盟山水相连,互联互通具有独特优势,也是经贸往来的重要支撑。我们要统筹推进铁路、公路、港口、机场等基础设施建设,协同推动“硬联通”和“软联通”,为区域经济一体化提供有力支撑。东南亚地区拥有众多优良深水港,中国与东盟货物贸易中六成以上通过海运实现。就在昨天,连接广西南宁和北部湾的平陆运河正式通航,将中国西南腹地和东盟之间运输距离缩短560公里,明显降低物流成本。中国愿同东盟全面加强互联互通,积极发展多式联运,打通跨境物流堵点,高水平共建国际陆海贸易新通道。
Fourth, we should make connectivity more convenient and efficient. Linked by mountains and rivers, China and ASEAN countries have unique advantages in connectivity, which is an important underpinning of economic and trade exchanges. We should promote the construction of infrastructure such as railways, highways, ports, and airports, and advance physical connectivity and institutional connectivity in a coordinated way, so as to provide strong support for regional economic integration. Southeast Asia is home to many natural deep-water ports and over 60 percent of trade in goods between China and ASEAN member states are transported by sea. Yesterday, the Pinglu Canal connecting Nanning and the Beibu Bay officially opened. It shortens the transport distance between the hinterlands of Southwest China and ASEAN by 560 kilometers, and greatly reduces the logistics costs. China is ready to work with ASEAN to comprehensively enhance connectivity, actively develop multi-modal logistics, remove choke points of cross-border logistics, and pursue high-level development of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor.
女士们、先生们、朋友们!
Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends,
中国—东盟博览会、中国—东盟商务与投资峰会作为推进区域经济一体化的务实平台,是中国—东盟自贸区建设发展历程的见证者、参与者、推动者。希望与会各方深入交流对接,广泛凝聚共识,形成更多成果。中方愿同东盟各国一道,继续建好、用好这一重要平台,携手共建更为紧密的中国—东盟命运共同体,为地区和世界繁荣稳定作出更大贡献。
As results-oriented platforms for advancing regional economic integration, CAEXPO and CABIS have witnessed, participated in, and contributed to the development of the CAFTA. I hope all participants will engage in in-depth discussions and exchanges, pool broad consensus, and work for more outcomes. China is ready to work with ASEAN countries to continue developing and making full use of the platforms, build a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future, and make greater contributions to prosperity and stability in the region and beyond.
