At the Opening Ceremony of the Third Ministerial Conference of
the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation
Between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries
Macao, 13 November 2010
尊敬的各位嘉宾,
女士们,先生们:
Distinguished Guests,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
很高兴和各位朋友相聚在美丽的澳门,共同出席中国-葡语国家经贸合作论坛第三届部长级会议。我谨代表中国政府,对会议的召开表示热烈祝贺,对长期以来致力于中国与葡语国家经贸合作的各界人士表示崇高敬意!
I am delighted to gather with all the friends here in the beautiful Macao and attend the Third Ministerial Conference of the Forum for Economic and Trade Cooperation Between China and Portuguese-speaking Countries. I would like to express, on behalf of the Chinese government, warm congratulations on the convocation of the meeting and pay high tribute to all the people who have long been committed to advancing the economic cooperation and trade between the two sides.
中葡论坛是中国和葡语国家开展互利友好合作的重要平台和纽带。它充分利用澳门联系中国和葡语国家的独特优势,以经贸合作为重点,有效地推动了中国与葡语国家之间的交流与合作。
This Forum has served as an important platform and bond for mutually beneficial and friendly cooperation between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries. It has given full play to Macao's unique advantage as a bridge between the two sides and boosted our exchanges and cooperation with a focus on economy and trade.
2003年论坛成立时,中国和葡语国家的贸易额刚过100亿美元,2008年已达770亿美元,提前1年实现贸易额突破500亿美元的目标。今年前三季度,双方的贸易额达682亿美元,同比增长57%,反映出双方贸易的巨大活力。目前,葡语国家的咖啡、腰果、葡萄酒等著名产品,已经摆上了越来越多中国百姓的餐桌;中国物美价廉的日用消费品也丰富了葡语国家的市场,广受消费者的欢迎。
In 2003 when the Forum was founded, trade between the two sides was just a bit over US$10 billion. It surged to US$77 billion in 2008 and hit the target of US$50 billion one year ahead of schedule. In the first three quarters of this year, two-way trade reached US$68.2 billion, up 57% year-on-year, showing strong vitality. Today, coffee, cashews, wine and other famous products from the Portuguese-speaking countries are becoming more and more popular in China. And quality yet inexpensive consumer goods from China have enriched the markets of the Portuguese-speaking countries and have been well received by their people.
论坛成立以来,中国与葡语国家双向投资快速增长。截至2009年底,葡语国家已在华设立700多家企业,对华投资累计金额超过5亿美元。中国对葡语国家投资方兴未艾,累计金额超过10亿美元。双方投资的增加,带来了各自需要的适用技术,支持了对方的经济建设,改善了当地居民的生活。
Since the inception of the Forum, two-way investment between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries has rapidly expanded. By the end of 2009, Portuguese-speaking countries had set up over 700 companies in China with a total investment of more than US$500 million. China's investment in these countries is also burgeoning, and the total volume has exceeded US$1 billion. The ever-growing investment between the two sides has brought us the applicable technologies that we each need, supported our economic development and improved the lives of the people.
中国对部分发展中葡语国家的援助造福于当地人民。论坛成立以来,中国共向安哥拉、佛得角、几内亚比绍、莫桑比克、东帝汶五国提供各类援款 35.6亿元人民币,免除到期政府无息贷款债务2.3亿元人民币。中国援建的佛得角泡衣崂水坝、莫桑比克国家体育场、中几比友谊医院、东帝汶政府办公大楼等一批标志性工程,已经成为中国与葡语国家友好的象征,产生了良好的经济效益或社会效益。
China's assistance to some of the developing Portuguese-speaking countries has benefited the local people. Since the founding of the Forum, China has provided a total of 3.56 billion RMB yuan of assistance to Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and Timor Leste, and cancelled 230 million yuan of debts associated with interest-free government loans. A number of signature projects that China built, such as the Poilao Dam in Cape Verde, the national stadium in Mozambique, the friendship hospital in Guinea-Bissau and the government office buildings in Timor Leste, have become symbols of friendship between China and the Portuguese-speaking countries and produced good economic and social returns.
中国与葡语国家的合作逐步从经贸领域向教育、文化等多个领域延伸。特别是在人力资源开发领域的合作得到极大加强。截至目前,中国为葡语国家举办了200多期各类研修班,培训了2100多名官员和技术人员,其中近三年培训1400多人,超额完成中葡论坛第二届部长级会议确定的目标。
Cooperation between the two sides has gradually extended from economy and trade to education, culture and other fields. Our cooperation in human resources development, in particular, has been greatly enhanced. Up to now, China has held over 200 workshops of various kinds and trained over 2,100 officials and technicians for the Portuguese-speaking countries, including the over 1,400 people trained in the recent three years, overfulfilling the target set at the second ministerial conference of the Forum.
