很高興與大家相聚在美麗的“椰城”。感謝佐科總統和印尼政府為本次會議所作的周到安排。

It gives me great pleasure to join you in the beautiful city of Jakarta. I wish to thank President Joko Widodo and the government of Indonesia for the thoughtful arrangements made for this meeting.

當今世界日益紛繁復雜，更好地觀察世界、認識世界，既要有全球視野，又要有歷史眼光，這樣才能透過現象看本質，把握規律看趨勢。對東亞而言，無論縱覽國際風云變幻，還是回顧自身發展歷程，都能深刻感悟到一個事實，就是和平與發展彌足珍貴，始終是各國人民最為長久的期盼和根本利益所在。近幾十年來，東亞正是從戰亂紛爭中吸取了慘痛教訓，在經濟全球化大潮中把握住時代機遇，堅定走上開放發展、合作共贏的正道坦途，才改變了地區國家和人民的命運，成為了促進世界發展的重要引擎。從過去一路走來，我們深知發展之不易、開放之必要、和平之珍貴，也切身體會到團結則興、分裂則衰的道理。面對當前變亂交織的國際局勢，東亞有一百個理由堅守合作與融合，而沒有一個理由走向分裂和對抗。

We live in an increasingly complex world. To better observe and understand the world, we need both a global vision and a historical perspective. This is the way to see through the surface, and grasp the essence, the pattern and the trend. For us in East Asia, a review of both the shifting global dynamics and the region's own course of development invariably brings us to one profound conclusion: peace and development are invaluable, and they represent the enduring aspiration and fundamental interests of our peoples. In recent decades, East Asia learned from the hard lessons of war and conflict, seized the opportunities in the great trend of economic globalization and kept to the right path of openness, development and win-win cooperation. This is why East Asia has been able to change the destiny of the countries and peoples in the region, and grown into a major engine driving global growth. This past journey has made us fully appreciate the hardship in development, the imperative of openness, and the value of peace. We have also seen first hand the truth that unity leads to prosperity while division brings decline. In this turbulent world, we in East Asia have one hundred reasons to stick to cooperation and integration, and not a single reason to slip into division and confrontation.

東亞峰會成立18年來，立足東亞、聯通亞太、聚焦合作，為增進各方相互理解、保障地區安全、促進共同發展作出了積極貢獻。面對新形勢新挑戰，峰會應繼續堅持自身定位，為實現地區長期穩定和持久繁榮發揮更大作用。中方愿提出幾點建議：

Over the past 18 years since its inception, the East Asia Summit (EAS) has rooted itself in East Asia, reached out to the Asia-Pacific and stayed focused on cooperation. It has played a positive role in deepening mutual understanding, protecting regional security and promoting common development. Faced with new circumstances and new challenges, the EAS needs to keep to its defined mission, and play a bigger role for enduring stability and prosperity in the region. To this end, China wishes to make the following proposals:

一是更好發揮促進發展作用，激發區域增長活力。今年東盟以“東盟舉足輕重：打造經濟增長中心”為主題，高度契合當前形勢和地區國家需要。我們要把促進增長放在更優先位置，把更多智慧和力量用在謀合作促發展上。要堅持經濟全球化，持續推動建設亞太自貿區，反對保護主義和單邊主義，維護產業鏈供應鏈穩定暢通。要以落實東亞峰會新一期行動計劃為契機，加強能源、糧食、氣候變化、電動汽車、減貧、海洋經濟等各領域合作，在合作中實現共同增長。

First, we need to better harness the role of the EAS in promoting development to invigorate growth in the region. The theme of ASEAN this year, "ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth", dovetails well with the situation and the needs of countries in the region. We need to further prioritize growth stimulation, and invest more wisdom and efforts in increasing cooperation and boosting development. We need to follow economic globalization, steadily advance the development of the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, oppose protectionism and unilateralism, and keep the industrial and supply chains stable and smooth. Taking the new EAS Plan of Action as an opportunity, we need to enhance cooperation in energy, food, climate change, electric vehicles, poverty reduction and marine economy, so that we realize growth together.

二是更好發揮戰略對話作用，增進各方相知互信。東亞峰會是“領導人引領的戰略論壇”，我們應當秉持相互尊重、友好坦誠態度，就國際地區大勢、熱點難點問題等建設性交換意見，增進對彼此了解和理解，尋求最大公約數。中方愿就更好弘揚全人類共同價值，落實習近平主席提出的全球發展倡議、全球安全倡議、全球文明倡議等，同各方開展更深入對話合作。在地區熱點問題上，中方主張有關方通過對話協商，找到政治解決的辦法。

Second, we need to better harness the role of the EAS as a strategic dialogue to increase understanding and trust among all parties. The EAS is a leaders-led strategic forum. We need to adopt an attitude of respect, goodwill and openness, and conduct constructive exchanges on the underlying trends in our region and beyond, and on hotspot and challenging issues, to know and understand each other better and identify the biggest common ground possible. China hopes to have deeper dialogue and cooperation with all parties on better promoting humanity's common values, and on implementing the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative put forward by President Xi Jinping. On regional hotspot issues, China believes it is important for the relevant parties to find political solutions through dialogue and consultation.

三是更好發揮東盟主導作用，共促包容互利合作。東亞峰會成員都是《東南亞友好合作條約》簽署方，堅持以東盟為中心、協商一致、不干涉內政等原則是我們的共同承諾，也是經過數十年實踐檢驗的寶貴經驗。我們要繼續堅定維護由東盟主導的區域合作架構，弘揚守望相助、同舟共濟的兄弟情誼和優良傳統，最大程度兼顧各方訴求、包容各方利益，更好實現優勢互補、凝聚合力。中方堅決反對“另起爐灶”、搞“小圈子”，更不希望看到地區國家被迫選邊站隊，以本國人民利益為代價，卷入無謂的紛爭。陣營對抗沒有贏家，互利合作才是人心所向、大勢所趨。

Third, we need to better harness the leadership of ASEAN to jointly promote inclusive and mutually beneficial cooperation. All EAS members are signatories to the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation in Southeast Asia (TAC). We have all committed to upholding the principles of ASEAN centrality, consensus building and non-interference in internal affairs. These principles are also our valuable experience, tried and tested over the past decades. We should continue to give unwavering support to the ASEAN-led regional cooperation architecture. We need to sustain our fraternal bonds and fine traditions of mutual assistance in times of adversity, do our best to accommodate each other's needs and interests, and better utilize our complementarity and forge synergy. China firmly opposes the attempts to create competing structures or small blocs, still less do we want to see regional countries forced to pick sides or get embroiled in meaningless disputes that harm their own people's interests. Camp-based confrontation produces no winner. Rather, mutually beneficial cooperation is what the people want and where the future lies.

南海保持和平穩定是各方共同期盼，最符合地區國家共同利益。《南海各方行為宣言》簽署20多年來，中國和東盟國家全面有效落實，堅持由直接當事國通過協商談判和平解決爭議，保持自我克制，深化海上務實合作，維護了南海局勢的總體穩定。在《宣言》精神指引下，中國和東盟國家正積極推進“南海行為準則”磋商，達成后將有力保障各國在南海的合法權益。希望域外國家充分尊重地區國家為商談南海規則、維護南海和平穩定作出的努力，為此發揮積極和建設性作用。海洋是人類生命的搖籃，海洋污染影響深遠，我們要以對歷史、對人類負責的態度，保護海洋生態環境，守護地球的“藍色心臟”。

Peace and stability in the South China Sea is our shared aspiration and best serves the common interests of the regional countries. Since signing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) more than 20 years ago, China and ASEAN countries have been fully and effectively implementing the DOC, addressing disputes peacefully through consultation and negotiation by countries directly concerned, exercising self-restraint, and deepening practical maritime cooperation. We have maintained general stability in the South China Sea. Now, guided by the spirit of the DOC, we are working actively to advance consultations on the COC. Upon completion, the COC will be a strong safeguard for the lawful rights and interests of all countries in the South China Sea. We hope countries outside the region fully respect the efforts by the regional countries for concluding the COC and preserving peace and stability in the South China Sea, and play a positive and constructive role for these efforts.

The ocean is the cradle of human life, and marine pollution has far-reaching impacts. We must act in a way that is responsible for history and for humanity, and protect the ecological environment of the ocean to take good care of the "blue heart" of the earth.

各位同事！

Colleagues,

今年是中國改革開放45周年。中國在開放中取得了巨大的發展成就，也在開放中與各國充分共享了發展機遇。當前，中國正以高質量發展全面推進中國式現代化，引領14億多人口整體邁入現代化，必將進一步釋放出巨大市場機遇。我們將堅持對外開放的基本國策，促進更大范圍、更高水平、更深層次開放合作，繼續同包括地區國家在內的各國分享中國新發展帶來的新機遇。下個月，中國將舉辦第三屆“一帶一路”國際合作高峰論壇，歡迎各方積極參加。共建“一帶一路”源于中國，但機遇和成果惠及整個世界。中國愿與各國秉持共商共建共享的合作理念，共同把這條造福世界的合作之路鋪得更寬更遠。明年老撾將擔任東盟輪值主席國，中方將全力支持老撾做好相關工作。

This year marks the 45th anniversary of China's reform and opening up. By opening its door, China has made tremendous progress in development and, in this process, fully shared its development opportunities with countries around the world. Now, China is pursuing Chinese modernization on all fronts through high-quality development, taking the 1.4 billion-plus people as a whole into modernization. This will create enormous market opportunities. We will stay committed to the fundamental national policy of opening up, advance international cooperation in more areas, on higher levels and in greater depth, and continue to share with countries in and outside the region new opportunities created by China's new development.

Next month, China will hold the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation. We welcome all parties to this event. Belt and Road cooperation was initiated by China, but its opportunities and fruits have been shared by the world. Following the approach of consultation and cooperation for shared benefits, China is ready to work with all countries to extend the Belt and Road wider and longer for it to continue benefiting the world. The Lao PDR will take over the ASEAN chairmanship next year. China will give full support to the work of the Lao PDR as the ASEAN chair.

事成于和睦，力生于團結。中方愿同各方一道，秉持真正的多邊主義和開放的區域主義，堅持開放包容，加強團結互助，共同推動東亞合作這艘巨輪乘風破浪、行穩致遠！

Success happens in an amicable environment and strength builds from solidarity. China stands ready to work with all to uphold true multilateralism and open regionalism, keep to openness and inclusiveness, and strengthen solidarity and mutual assistance. Together, let us steer this giant ship of East Asian cooperation forward along a steady course, braving winds and waves.

謝謝大家！

Thank you.
