当前，世界进入新的动荡变革期，面临关键抉择。是任由世界动荡不安，还是推动其重回和平发展的正道？我想到俄罗斯作家车尔尼雪夫斯基的著作《怎么办？》，书中主人公的坚强意志和奋斗激情，正是当前我们所需要的精神力量。时代的风浪越大，我们越要勇立潮头，以坚韧不拔之志、敢为人先之勇、识变应变之谋，把金砖打造成促进“全球南方”团结合作的主要渠道、推动全球治理变革的先锋力量。

As the world enters a new period defined by turbulence and transformation, we are confronted with pivotal choices that will shape our future. Should we allow the world to descend into the abyss of disorder and chaos, or should we strive to steer it back on the path of peace and development? This reminds me of a novel by Nikolay Chernyshevsky entitled What Is to Be Done? The protagonist’s unwavering determination and passionate drive are exactly the kind of willpower we need today. The more tumultuous our times become, the more we must stand firm at the forefront, exhibiting tenacity, demonstrating the audacity to pioneer and displaying the wisdom to adapt. We must work together to build BRICS into a primary channel for strengthening solidarity and cooperation among Global South nations and a vanguard for advancing global governance reform.

今年是世界反法西斯战争胜利和联合国成立80周年，是铭记历史、共创未来的重要时刻。80年前，两次世界大战的浩劫让国际社会痛定思痛，联合国应运而生，全球治理掀开新的一页。80年后，和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流没有变，但冷战思维、霸权主义、保护主义阴霾不散，新威胁新挑战有增无减，世界进入新的动荡变革期，全球治理走到新的十字路口。

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. It is a milestone prompting us to remember the past and create a better future together. Eighty years ago, the international community learned profound lessons from the scourge of two world wars and founded the United Nations, thus writing a new page in global governance. Eighty years later, while the historical trends of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit remain unchanged, the Cold War mentality, hegemonism and protectionism continue to haunt the world. New threats and challenges have been only increasing. The world has found itself in a new period of turbulence and transformation. Global governance has come to a new crossroads.

当前，世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开，世界进入新的动荡变革期。面对单边主义、保护主义抬头，中国经济迎难而上，2024年实现5%的增长，对世界经济增长贡献率保持在30%左右，继续成为世界经济重要引擎。中国新能源产业、人工智能和动画影视全球瞩目。中国将坚持以高水平对外开放为世界提供更多机遇，以自身高质量发展助推各国共同发展。

Today, global, epoch-making and historical changes are unfolding like never before, and the world has entered a new period of turbulent transformation. Despite the headwinds of mounting unilateralism and protectionism, the Chinese economy expanded by five percent in 2024, contributing around 30 percent to the global economy. It remains a key engine of the world economy. China’s new energy sector, artificial intelligence and animated films have come into global spotlight. China will continue to provide more opportunities to the world with its high-standard opening up and contribute to the development of all countries with its high-quality development.

在钱凯港岸桥上有一句标语，“大家的港口，为了所有人的港口”。同样的道理，中拉合作源自中拉双方，也惠及双方全体人民。正如王毅外长日前在2024年国际形势与中国外交研讨会上指出的，中国始终致力于推动全球南方团结振兴，助力发展中国家加快实现振兴梦想。面对世界进入新的动荡变革期，我们愿同拉美和加勒比国家一道，继续守望相助、团结合作，让“中国梦”和“拉美梦”相融相通、互促互鉴，也希望未来看到更多“钱凯港”拔地而起，更多基础设施投入使用，更好惠及拉美各国人民。

“A port of all, a port for all” is a slogan on quay cranes at Chancay Port in Peru. Likewise, China-Latin America cooperation is a voluntary choice of both sides as it serves the interest of the two peoples. As Foreign Minister Wang Yi noted at the Symposium on the International Situation and China’s Foreign Relations recently, China will always be committed to unity and invigoration of the Global South and help fellow developing countries move faster in rejuvenation. As the world enters a new period of turbulence and transformation, China stands ready to work with countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) to continue to support each other through solidarity and cooperation and boost the connection and mutual learning between the Chinese dream and the LAC dream. We hope to see more infrastructure projects like Chancay Port whose running will deliver more benefits to the people in Latin America and the Caribbean in the future.
