——我们要坚持世代友好，做和谐和睦的好邻居。中国坚持走和平发展道路，坚定奉行独立自主的和平外交政策。我们尊重各国人民自主选择的发展道路和奉行的内外政策，决不干涉中亚国家内政。中国不谋求地区事务主导权，不经营势力范围。我们愿同俄罗斯和中亚各国加强沟通和协调，共同为建设和谐地区作出不懈努力。
—We need to pass on our
friendship from generation to generation and always be good neighbors living in
harmony. China is committed to the path of peaceful development and the
independent foreign policy of peace. We respect the development paths and
domestic and foreign policies chosen independently by the people of every
country. We will in no circumstances interfere in the internal affairs of
Central Asian countries. We do not seek to dominate regional affairs or
establish any sphere of influence. We stand ready to enhance communication and
coordination with Russia and all Central Asian countries to strive to build a
region of harmony.
——我们要坚定相互支持，做真诚互信的好朋友。在涉及国家主权、领土完整、安全稳定等重大核心利益问题上坚定相互支持，是中国同中亚各国战略伙伴关系的实质和重要内容。我们愿同各国在双边和上海合作组织框架内加强互信、深化合作，合力打击“三股势力”、贩毒、跨国有组织犯罪，为地区经济发展和人民安居乐业创造良好环境。
—We need to firmly support and
trust each other and be sincere and good friends. To render each other firm
support on major issues concerning core interests such as sovereignty,
territorial integrity, security and stability is the essence and an important
part of China’s strategic partnership with Central Asian countries. We will
deepen trust and cooperation with Central Asian countries bilaterally and
within the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) to combat the “three forces”
of terrorism, separatism and extremism as well as drug trafficking and
transnational organized crime to create a favorable environment for the
economic development and the well-being of the people in this region.
——我们要大力加强务实合作，做互利共赢的好伙伴。中国和中亚国家都处在关键发展阶段，面对前所未有的机遇和挑战。我们都提出了符合本国国情的中长期发展目标。我们的战略目标是一致的，那就是确保经济长期稳定发展，实现国家繁荣富强和民族振兴。我们要全面加强务实合作，将政治关系优势、地缘毗邻优势、经济互补优势转化为务实合作优势、持续增长优势，打造互利共赢的利益共同体。
—We need to vigorously enhance
practical cooperation and be good partners of win-win cooperation. Both China
and Central Asian countries are at a crucial stage of development with
unprecedented opportunities and challenges. We have all set medium- to
long-term development goals based on our national conditions. Our strategic
goals are the same, which is to ensure sustained and stable economic
development, build a prosperous and strong nation and achieve national
revitalization. Therefore, we need to enhance practical cooperation across the
board, turn our good political relations, geographical proximity and economic
complementarity into drivers of practical cooperation and sustained growth, and
build a community of shared interests and mutual benefit.
——我们要以更宽的胸襟、更广的视野拓展区域合作，共创新的辉煌。当前，世界经济融合加速发展，区域合作方兴未艾。欧亚地区已经建立起多个区域合作组织。欧亚经济共同体和上海合作组织成员国、观察员国地跨欧亚、南亚、西亚，通过加强上海合作组织同欧亚经济共同体合作，我们可以获得更大发展空间。
—We need to expand regional
cooperation with a more open mind and broader vision and achieve new glories
together. The world is going through faster economic integration and regional
cooperation is booming. The Eurasian region has quite a few regional
cooperation organizations. The members and observers of the Eurasian Economic
Community (EAEC) and the SCO are from Eurasia, South Asia and West Asia. By
intensifying cooperation between the SCO and the EAEC, we will create even more
space for development.
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
为了使我们欧亚各国经济联系更加紧密、相互合作更加深入、发展空间更加广阔，我们可以用创新的合作模式，共同建设“丝绸之路经济带”。这是一项造福沿途各国人民的大事业。我们可从以下几个方面先做起来，以点带面，从线到片，逐步形成区域大合作。
To forge closer economic ties,
deepen cooperation and expand development space in the Eurasian region, we
should take an innovative approach and jointly build an “economic belt along
the Silk Road”. This will be a great undertaking benefitting the people of all
countries along the route. To turn this into a reality, we may start with work
in individual areas and link them up over time to cover the whole region.
第一，加强政策沟通。各国可以就经济发展战略和对策进行充分交流，本着求同存异原则，协商制定推进区域合作的规划和措施，在政策和法律上为区域经济融合“开绿灯”。
First, we need to step up policy
communication. Countries should have full discussions on development strategies
and policy response, work out plans and measures for advancing regional
cooperation through consultation in the spirit of seeking common ground while
reserving differences, and give the policy and legal “green light” to regional
economic integration.
第二，加强道路联通。上海合作组织正在协商交通便利化协定。尽快签署并落实这一文件，将打通从太平洋到波罗的海的运输大通道。在此基础上，我们愿同各方积极探讨完善跨境交通基础设施，逐步形成连接东亚、西亚、南亚的交通运输网络，为各国经济发展和人员往来提供便利。
Second, we need to improve road
connectivity. The SCO is working on an agreement on transportation
facilitation. If signed and implemented at an early date, it will open up a
major transportation route connecting the Pacific and the Baltic Sea. Building
on that, we will actively discuss the best way to improve cross-border
transportation infrastructure and work toward a transportation network
connecting East Asia, West Asia and South Asia to facilitate economic
development and travel in the region.
第三，加强贸易畅通。丝绸之路经济带总人口近30亿，市场规模和潜力独一无二。各国在贸易和投资领域合作潜力巨大。各方应该就贸易和投资便利化问题进行探讨并作出适当安排，消除贸易壁垒，降低贸易和投资成本，提高区域经济循环速度和质量，实现互利共赢。
Third, we need to promote
unimpeded trade. The proposed “economic belt along the Silk Road” is inhabited
by close to 3 billion people and represents the biggest market in the world
with unparalleled potential. The potential for trade and investment cooperation
between the relevant countries is enormous. We should discuss a proper
arrangement for trade and investment facilitation, remove trade barriers,
reduce trade and investment cost, increase the speed and quality of regional
economic flows and achieve win-win progress in the region.
第四，加强货币流通。中国和俄罗斯等国在本币结算方面开展了良好合作，取得了可喜成果，也积累了丰富经验。这一好的做法有必要加以推广。如果各国在经常项下和资本项下实现本币兑换和结算，就可以大大降低流通成本，增强抵御金融风险能力，提高本地区经济国际竞争力。
Fourth, we need to enhance
monetary circulation. China and Russia have already had sound cooperation on
settling trade in local currencies, and have gained gratifying results and rich
experience. There is no reason not to share this good practice with others in
the region. If our region can realize local currency convertibility and
settlement under current and capital accounts, it will significantly lower
circulation cost, increase our ability to fend off financial risks and make our
region more competitive economically in the world.
第五，加强民心相通。国之交在于民相亲。搞好上述领域合作，必须得到各国人民支持，必须加强人民友好往来，增进相互了解和传统友谊，为开展区域合作奠定坚实民意基础和社会基础。
Fifth, we need to increase
understanding between our people. Amity between the people holds the key to
good relations between states. To have productive cooperation in the
above-mentioned areas, we need the support of our people. We should encourage
more friendly exchanges between our people to enhance mutual understanding and
traditional friendship and build strong public support and a solid social
foundation for regional cooperation.
各位老师、各位同学！
Dear Faculty Members and
Students,
青年是民族的未来。哈萨克斯坦伟大诗人、思想家阿拜·库南巴耶夫说过：“世界有如海洋，时代有如劲风，前浪如兄长，后浪是兄弟，风拥后浪推前浪，亘古及今皆如此。”看着同学们朝气蓬勃的精神面貌，我不由想起了我的大学时代，那是一个令人难忘的青春记忆。
Young people are the future of a
nation. The great Kazakh poet and philosopher Abay Qunanbayev once noted, “The
world is like an ocean and our time is like strong wind. Waves in the front are
the cider brother while those behind are the younger brother. Driven by wind,
the waves from behind constantly press on those in the front. This has been the
case since ancient times.” Seeing so many young glowing faces in the audience,
I could not but recall with fond memories my own life in university. It was
such an unforgettable time of youth!
哈萨克斯坦人民常讲：“有知识，世界一片光明；没知识，眼前一片混沌。”知识就是力量。青年时代是学习知识、陶冶情操、增长本领的黄金时期。我相信，从这里走出的莘莘学子，一定能成为哈萨克斯坦民族振兴的栋梁。
The Kazakh people often say, “Knowledge
brings light to the world; without it, confusion will reign.” Indeed, knowledge
is power. Young people are in the very prime of life, the best time to acquire
knowledge, build character and develop ability. I am sure that the young people
to graduate from this university will become future pillars in Kazakhstan’s
national revitalization.
为促进上海合作组织框架内青年交流，中国将在未来10年向上海合作组织成员国提供3万个政府奖学金名额，邀请1万名孔子学院师生赴华研修。希望你们利用上述奖学金到中国学习交流。
To facilitate youth exchanges
within the SCO framework, China will, in the coming ten years, provide 30,000
government scholarships to SCO member states and invite 10,000 teachers and
students from Confucius Institutes in these countries to China for study tours.
I hope you will seize these opportunities to come to China for study and
exchange.
在此，我邀请贵校200名师生明年赴华参加夏令营活动。
I also wish to invite 200 faculty
members and students from Nazarbayev University to go to China next year and
attend summer camp activities.
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
青年是人民友谊的生力军。青年人情趣相近、意气相投，最谈得来，最容易结下纯真的友谊。这里，我想起了中哈两国人民交往的两个感人故事。
Young people are the mainstay of
friendship between our people. The common interest and ideal they hold for life
all bring them together in true friendship. Here let me share with you two
touching stories involving Chinese and Kazakh people.
第一个是，上世纪40年代末，一位在新疆工作的中国小伙儿认识了在当地医院工作的美丽姑娘瓦莲金娜，两人真心相爱并结婚生子。后来，由于一些客观原因，瓦莲金娜回国了，当时他们的儿子才6岁。这个孩子长大后，不断寻找自己的母亲，想尽了各种办法，始终没有音讯。2009年，儿子终于找到了自己的母亲瓦莲金娜，他的母亲就住在阿拉木图。这一年，儿子61岁，瓦莲金娜80岁。后来，儿子来到阿拉木图看望母亲，还把母亲接到中国旅游。这迟到了半个世纪的幸福，是中哈人民友好的有力见证。
Back in the early 1950s, a
Chinese young man working in Xinjiang met a pretty girl called Valentina at a
local hospital. They fell in love, got married and had a son. However, due to
the political climate and for other reasons, Valentina returned to her home
country when their son was only six years old. When the boy grew up, he tried
all means to find his mother but to no avail. In 2009, at the age of 61, he
finally found out that his mother was living in Almaty. He visited his
80-year-old mother there and took her to China for sightseeing. This happy
family reunion, though overdue for half a century, is a strong testament to the
friendship between our people.
第二个是，RH阴性血型在中国属于十分稀有的血型，被称为“熊猫血”。这种血型的病人很难找到血源。哈萨克斯坦留学生鲁斯兰正是这种血型。在海南大学读书期间，鲁斯兰自2009年起参加无偿献血，每年两次，为一些中国病人解除病痛作出了贡献。当中国朋友称赞鲁斯兰时，鲁斯兰说：“我觉得应该帮助别人，献血是我应该做的。”
The other story is about a young
Kazakh student whose name is Ruslan. You may know that the RH-negative blood
type is called “panda blood” in China because it is as scarce as a panda. It is
very hard for RH-negative patients to find compatible blood source. Ruslan, who
studied at Hainan University in China, happens to be RH-negative. Since 2009,
he has been donating blood twice a year, helping to save Chinese patients of
his same blood type. When praised by his Chinese friends, he simply said, “I
feel this is what I should do. It is my duty to help others.”
这两个感人故事，只是中哈两国人民友好交往史诗中的两个片断，但充分说明了我们两国人民是心心相印、亲如手足的。
The stories I have just told are
two episodes from the epic of friendly exchanges between our people, yet they
fully demonstrate how close the Chinese and Kazakh people are to each other.
我相信，包括在座各位同学在内的中哈两国青年，一定会成为中哈友谊的使者，为中哈全面战略伙伴关系发展贡献青春和力量。
I believe that young people from
China and Kazakhstan, including those of you in the audience, are the future
envoys of friendship between our two countries. You will contribute your youth
and energy to the growth of China-Kazakhstan comprehensive strategic
partnership.
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,
中哈两国是唇齿相依的友好邻邦。1700多公里的共同边界、两千多年的交往历史、广泛的共同利益，把我们紧密联系在一起，也为发展两国关系和深化互利合作开辟了广阔前景。让我们携起手来，弘扬传统友谊，共创美好未来！
China and Kazakhstan are friendly
neighbors as close as lips and teeth. Our 1,700-kilometer long common border,
two millennia of interactions and extensive common interests not only bind us
closely together, but also promise a broad prospect for bilateral ties and
mutually beneficial cooperation. Let us join hands to carry on our traditional
friendship and build a bright future together.
谢谢大家。
Thank you. |
