中英对照:李强在2026世界传统医药大会开幕式上的致辞 [2]

Remarks by H.E. Li Qiang Premier of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China At the Opening Ceremony of The World Conference on Traditional Medicine 2026 [2]

其三,传统医药是增进各国友谊的重要纽带。传统医药领域交流合作既是技艺的切磋,更是理念的交融。从古丝绸之路上的药材互市,到阿拉伯翻译运动对古代医药的保存整合,再到近些年各国传统医药界的联合科研,这些交流合作既提升了医学水平,也深化了彼此了解、促进了民心相通。
Third, traditional medicine is an important bond of friendship between nations. Exchanges and cooperation in the field of traditional medicine are not only a sharing of skills and techniques, but also a convergence of ideas and philosophies. From the trade of one medicinal material for another along the ancient Silk Road, to the preservation and integration of ancient medical knowledge during the Greco-Arabic Translation Movement, and to joint research by the traditional medicine communities of different countries in recent years, such exchanges and cooperation have helped raise medical standards, deepen mutual understanding between nations, and promote people-to-people bonds.
二、中国的传统医药在长期实践中走出一条独具特色的发展之路
II. Through time-honored practice, China’s traditional medicine has forged a distinctive development path.
中国的传统医药,我们习惯称之为中医药。中医药是中华文明的瑰宝,也是世界传统医药的杰出代表。中国政府历来高度重视中医药发展,坚持中西医并重、促进中西医结合,已建成全球规模最大的传统医药体系,构建了传承、科研、产业、人才协同发展完整体系。中医药发展积累的宝贵经验,为世界传统医药发展提供了有益借鉴。
Traditional medicine in China is customarily known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM is a treasure of Chinese civilization and an outstanding representative of traditional medicine worldwide. The Chinese government has consistently attached great importance to the development of TCM, placing equal emphasis on TCM and Western medicine and promoting their integration. China has built the world’s largest traditional medicine system, and established a comprehensive framework for coordinated development across TCM inheritance, research, industry, and talent cultivation. We have accumulated valuable experience, which is widely seen as useful reference for the development of traditional medicine around the world.
一是坚持守正创新,发掘用好中医药宝库。中医药在漫长发展历程中,形成了《本草纲目》等一大批医学经典,蕴含的理论、思想博大精深。我们既传承经典医理、方剂技艺,坚守中医药的“根”和“魂”,又运用现代科技推进中医药创造性转化、创新性应用。中国已经建立了多层次中医药科技创新体系框架,不断产出高质量研究成果,在疑难病症救治、重大疫情应对等方面都取得了显著成效。古老的中医药正在焕发新的生机活力。
First, we must uphold our fine tradition while breaking new ground and unlock and harness the full potential of TCM. Over the long course of its development, TCM has produced a wealth of classics, including the Compendium of Materia Medica. These classics embody profound theories and philosophies. We are both carrying forward classical medical theories, formulas, and techniques, staying true to the “roots” and “soul” of TCM, and applying modern science and technology to bring about creative transformation and innovative application of TCM. China has established a multi-tiered framework for TCM innovation, continuously producing high-quality research and remarkable results in treating difficult and complicated cases and responding to major public health emergencies. TCM, with its ancient roots, is gaining renewed vitality.
二是强化政策支持,厚植彰显中医药独特优势。我们充分发挥中医药在维护健康特别是治未病、辨证施治、整体调节等方面的综合优势,注重用好中医药“简便验廉”的鲜明特色,在法律和行政方面作出制度安排,加大资源保障和政策支持,积极推动中医药在各级医疗机构、各类诊疗场景中广泛应用。目前中医药医疗机构约占我国医疗机构总数的1/10,几乎所有的医疗机构都能提供中医药服务,中医药在维护人民健康方面发挥了独特作用。
Second, we must strengthen policy support to cultivate and showcase the distinct strengths of TCM. We fully leverage TCM’s composite strengths in safeguarding people’s health, particularly preventive care and treatment, syndrome differentiation and treatment, and holistic regulation, and make effective use of its distinctive features of being simple, convenient, effective, and affordable. We have put in place legal and administrative arrangements and stepped up input of resources and policy backing, and actively promoted the extensive application of TCM in various medical institutions and clinical settings. At present, TCM institutions account for about one tenth of all medical institutions in China, and nearly all of our medical institutions provide TCM services. TCM is playing a unique role in protecting people’s health. 
三是注重兼收并蓄,促进中医药互学互鉴。我们秉持开放胸怀和视野发展中医药,更加重视博采众长,学习借鉴各国优秀传统医药的先进理念和诊疗技艺,实施“新时代神农尝百草”行动,不断丰富自身理论与实践体系。同时加大中医药市场开放力度,欢迎外国企业来华投资合作,带动中医药技术创新、产业升级。现在的中医药已是一个更加开放实用的诊疗体系,传播至196个国家和地区,持续造福各国人民。
Third, we must emphasize inclusivity, and promote mutual learning between TCM and other traditional medicine systems. We develop TCM with an open mind and a global vision, placing greater emphasis on drawing on the strengths of others, learning from the advanced concepts and theories, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques of outstanding traditional medicine systems around the world. We have launched the New Shennong Initiative named after a mythological Chinese figure who is said to have tasted hundreds of herbs to test their medical value, which aims to enrich TCM’s theoretical and practical systems. At the same time, we have further opened up the TCM market and welcome international investment and cooperation, thereby driving innovation and upgrading in the TCM sector. Thanks to these efforts, TCM has become a more open and practical system of diagnosis and treatment. It has spread to 196 countries and regions, bringing benefits to their people. 
三、着眼时代挑战共促传统医药焕新发展
III. The international community should work together to meet the challenges of our time and promote the renewed development of  traditional medicine. 
当前,全球人口老龄化趋势加剧,慢性病防控压力不断上升,新发突发传染病风险持续存在,传统医药的独特价值愈发凸显。国际社会应当加强协作,进一步整合用好世界传统医药资源,共同应对人类健康面临的挑战。
Population aging is accelerating worldwide. The prevention and control of chronic diseases is a growing challenge. The risks of emerging and sudden-onset infectious diseases persist. Against this backdrop, the unique value of traditional medicine has become ever more evident. The international community should strengthen coordination and collaboration, better integrate and leverage traditional medicine resources, and jointly address various challenges to human health. 
一是要强化科技赋能,加快传统医药创新发展。科技进步为传统医药发展打开了新的空间。我们要推动人工智能、现代生物医学等与传统医药深度融合,用新技术挖掘古方价值、优化诊疗方案,让传统医药从“经验之学”走向“科学之学”,从“古老遗产”变成“现代良方”。前不久,中国出台了《中医药振兴发展“十五五”规划》,把中医药数智化转型作为一项重要任务。我们鼓励支持中外科研机构、企业积极参与,共同建设开放协同的中医药国际科技创新体系。
First, we must harness science and technology to speed up innovation-driven development of traditional medicine. Advances in science and technology have opened up new horizons for traditional medicine. We should promote the deep integration of artificial intelligence and modern biomedicine with traditional medicine, use new technologies to rediscover the value of ancient formulas and improve diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, and drive the transformation of traditional medicine from an art of experience into a science-based discipline and from an ancient legacy into modern remedies. Recently, China has published its 15th Five-Year Plan for the Revitalization and Development of TCM, which prioritizes the digital and intelligent transformation of TCM. We encourage and support Chinese and foreign research institutions and enterprises to take an active part in building an open and collaborative international framework for TCM innovation. 
二是要深入交流合作,凝聚传统医药发展合力。只有让各种传统医药体系从本土走向世界,在交流互鉴中共同进步,才能汇聚更大效用、创造更大价值。我们应当搭建更加开放的传统医药对话合作平台,促进各国政策互通、市场互联、资质互认,健全国际产业链条,为全球传统医药发展提供良好环境。中方将持续扩大医疗服务开放试点,愿同各方一道推进“一带一路”药用资源保育中心建设,在加强产权保护的基础上,深化传统医药知识、经验等互学互鉴,不断壮大应对共同挑战的力量。
Second, we must deepen exchanges and cooperation to forge synergy for the development of traditional medicine. Only by enabling traditional medicine systems to move from their local roots onto the global stage and advancing together through mutual learning, can they form greater synergy and create greater values. We should build more open platforms for dialogue and cooperation, and promote policy connectivity, market connectivity, and mutual recognition of qualifications among countries. We should strengthen international industrial chains and provide a favorable environment for the global development of traditional medicine. China will continue to expand pilot programs for opening up its medical service sector and work with all parties to advance the establishment of a medicinal resources conservation center under the Belt and Road Initiative. On the basis of stronger protection of intellectual property rights, we will deepen mutual learning and the sharing of traditional medicine knowledge and experience with other countries, so as to steadily strengthen our collective capacity to meet common challenges.
