San Francisco, November 17, 2023
尊敬的拜登总统，各位同事：
The Honorable President Joe Biden,Colleagues,
很高兴同大家相聚在美丽的旧金山。这是亚太经合组织领导人第三十次聚首，具有特殊重要意义。感谢拜登总统和美国政府为这次会议作出的周到安排。
It is my great pleasure to meet you all in beautiful San Francisco. This APEC economic leaders’ meeting, the 30th of its kind, holds special significance. I wish to thank President Biden and the U.S. government for the thoughtful arrangements for this meeting.
亚太经合组织建立领导人定期会议机制以来，始终走在全球开放发展的前沿，有力促进了区域贸易和投资自由化便利化、经济技术发展、物资人员流动，创造了举世瞩目的“亚太奇迹”。
Since the establishment of the economic leaders’ regular meeting mechanism, APEC has always stood at the global forefront of openness and development. It has played a robust role in promoting Asia-Pacific trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, economic growth and technological progress, and the flow of goods and people. It has helped create the “Asia-Pacific miracle” that has staggered the world.
当前，世界百年变局加速演进，世界经济面临多种风险挑战，作为全球增长引擎，亚太肩负更大的时代责任。作为亚太地区领导人，我们都要深入思考，要把一个什么样的亚太带到本世纪中叶？如何打造亚太发展的下一个“黄金三十年”？在这一进程中如何更好发挥亚太经合组织作用？
In the world today, changes on a scale unseen in a century are unfolding at an accelerating pace. The world economy faces multiple risks and challenges. The Asia-Pacific region, which is an engine of global growth, thus has greater responsibility in these times. We, the leaders of Asia-Pacific economies, must think very hard as to what kind of Asia-Pacific region we should have by the middle of this century, what we should do to usher in another “golden 30 years” for the region, and how we can bring out the best of APEC in this process.
中国古人说：“道之所在，虽千万人吾往矣。”我们应该秉持亚太合作初心，负责任地回应时代呼唤，携手应对全球性挑战，全面落实布特拉加亚愿景，建设开放、活力、强韧、和平的亚太共同体，实现亚太人民和子孙后代的共同繁荣。在此，我愿提出几点建议。
An ancient Chinese sage said, “For a righteous cause, I shall press forward, undaunted by thousands standing in my way.” In the same spirit, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to APEC’s founding mission. We must respond to the calls of our times responsibly and meet global challenges together. We must fully deliver on the Putrajaya Vision of building an open, dynamic, resilient and peaceful Asia-Pacific community for the prosperity of all our people and future generations. To this end, I wish to propose the following.
第一，坚持创新驱动。创新是发展的强大动力。我们要顺应科技发展趋势，以更加积极姿态推动科技交流合作，携手打造开放、公平、公正、非歧视的科技发展环境。要加速数字化转型，缩小数字鸿沟，加快落实《亚太经合组织互联网和数字经济路线图》，支持大数据、云计算、人工智能、量子计算等新技术应用，不断塑造亚太发展新动能新优势。
First, staying committed to innovation-driven development. Innovation is a strong driver of development. We should follow the trends of scientific and technological advancement, more proactively promote exchanges and cooperation in science and technology, and work together for an open, fair, equitable and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological progress. We should accelerate digital transformation, narrow the digital divide, redouble our efforts to implement the APEC Internet and Digital Economy Roadmap, support the application of big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, quantum computing and other new technologies, and create new momentum and new drivers of growth in the Asia-Pacific region.
中国坚持创新驱动发展战略，协同推进数字产业化、产业数字化，提出了亚太经合组织数字乡村建设、企业数字身份、利用数字技术促进绿色低碳转型等倡议，更好为亚太发展赋能。
China remains committed to its strategy for driving growth and development through innovation. China is advancing both its digital industry and the digital transformation of traditional industries. China has put forward a number of initiatives for promoting growth and development in the region through digital empowerment, such as digital technology-driven rural development, corporate digital identity, and transition to a green and low-carbon economy through the application of digital technologies.
第二，坚持开放导向。亚太发展的经验告诉我们，开放则兴，封闭则衰。我们要维护自由开放的贸易投资，支持并加强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稳定畅通，反对将经贸问题政治化、武器化、泛安全化。要坚定不移推进区域经济一体化，加快推进亚太自由贸易区进程，全面落实《亚太经合组织互联互通蓝图》，共享区域开放发展机遇。
Second, staying committed to openness in development. As manifested by the Asia-Pacific experience, an economy thrives in openness and withers in seclusion. We must promote free and open trade and investment, support and strengthen the WTO-centered multilateral trading regime, and keep global industrial and supply chains open and stable. We must say no to any attempt to politicize, weaponize, or impose security implications on economic and trade issues. We must remain unwavering to promote regional economic integration, accelerate the building of a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, fully implement the APEC Connectivity Blueprint, and share in the opportunities of open regional development.
近期，中国成功举办第三届“一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛，为促进全球互联互通、构建开放型世界经济注入新动力。中国坚持高水平实施《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》，主动对接《全面与进步跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》和《数字经济伙伴关系协定》高标准经贸规则，积极推动加入两个协定进程，同各方共绘开放发展新图景。
The recent third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation that China hosted was a success, injecting fresh impetus into global connectivity and the building of an open world economy. China applies the highest standards in implementing the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, and has taken proactive steps to align its economic and trade rules with the high standards of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and the Digital Economic Partnership Agreement (DEPA), to accelerate the process of its accession to the CPTPP and DEPA. China will work with all relevant parties to write a new chapter in open development.
第三，坚持绿色发展。面对气候变化、自然灾害等日益严峻的挑战，我们要坚持人与自然和谐共生，加快推动发展方式绿色低碳转型，协同推进降碳、减污、扩绿、增长，落实好《生物循环绿色经济曼谷目标》，厚植亚太增长的绿色底色。
Third, staying committed to green development. Given the increasingly grave challenges such as climate change and natural disasters, we must continue to promote harmony between man and nature, accelerate the transition to green and low-carbon development, and see to it that reducing carbon emissions and mitigating pollution operate in parallel with expanding green transition and promoting economic growth. We must deliver on the Bangkok Goals on Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) Economy, making “green” a defining feature of Asia-Pacific growth.
中国坚持走生态优先、绿色发展之路，积极稳妥推进碳达峰碳中和，加快发展方式绿色转型。我们提出亚太经合组织绿色农业、可持续城市、能源低碳转型、海洋污染防治等合作倡议，推动共建清洁美丽的亚太。
China remains as determined as ever to pursue green development that prioritizes eco-environmental conservation and protection. China is making active yet prudent moves toward its goal of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, and is accelerating its transition to green development. China has put forward initiatives for cooperation between APEC member economies in green agriculture, sustainable city development, green and low-carbon energy transition, and marine pollution control and prevention. All such initiatives aim to build a clean and beautiful Asia-Pacific region.
第四，坚持普惠共享。当前，全球发展事业面临严峻挑战，发展鸿沟加剧。我多次讲，大家一起发展才是真发展。我们要全面落实联合国2030年可持续发展议程，推动发展问题重回国际议程中心位置，深化发展战略对接，共同解决全球发展赤字。欢迎各方积极参与全球发展倡议，深化减贫、粮食安全、工业化、发展筹资等领域合作，构建全球发展共同体，让各国人民共享现代化建设成果。中国将继续支持亚太经合组织开展经济技术合作，共同做大亚太发展蛋糕。
Fourth, staying committed to inclusive development that delivers benefits to all. Global development now faces severe challenges and the development divide is getting wider. I have said on many occasions that true development is development for all. We must fully implement the U.N. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and put development back on the international agenda as a central priority. We need to develop greater synergy in our development strategies and work together to resolve the global development deficit. China welcomes participation by all parties in the Global Development Initiative (GDI) to deepen cooperation in poverty reduction, food security, industrialization and development financing and build a global community of development so that the fruits of modernization are shared by people across the world. China will continue to support APEC in its economic and technical cooperation and work together with other member economies to make the “cake” of Asia-Pacific development bigger.
各位同事！
Colleagues,
中国正在以中国式现代化全面推进强国建设、民族复兴伟业。中国坚持走和平发展道路，发展的根本目的是让中国人民过上好日子，不是要取代谁。今年是中国改革开放45周年，我们将坚持高质量发展，推进高水平对外开放，以中国式现代化为推动实现世界各国的现代化提供新机遇。我愿同各位同事一道努力，推动亚太合作取得更多丰硕成果，共同打造亚太下一个“黄金三十年”！
China is advancing the noble cause of building a great country and national rejuvenation on all fronts through a Chinese path to modernization. China will remain committed to the path of peaceful development. The ultimate goal of China’s development is to better our people’s lives, not to unseat anyone. As we celebrate 45 years of our reform and opening up this year, we will continue to pursue high-quality development and high-standard opening up. Chinese modernization will bring the world more and greater opportunities for the modernization of all countries. I am ready to work with you for new success in Asia-Pacific cooperation and for another “golden 30 years” of the region.
谢谢大家。
Thank you.
