The 19th National Congress of the CPC set the goal for China’s future development. By 2020, we will have finished the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects and rooted out poverty. By 2035, we will have basically achieved modernization. By 2050, we will have developed China into a great modem socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced, harmonious and beautiful. Under the guidance of this blueprint, China will scale new heights in its development and open a new chapter in its human rights cause.

中共十九大制定了中国未来发展的总体目标。我们将在2020年全面建成小康社会、全面消除贫困，2035年基本实现社会主义现代化，2050年建成富强民主文明和谐美丽的社会主义现代化强国。蓝图已绘就，中国发展必将实现新的飞跃，人权事业也将掀开新的篇章。

Ladies and Gentlemen,

女士们、先生们，

Developing countries have always been a staunch force in promoting human rights. In the struggles against fascism, militarism, colonialism and hegemonism, developing countries initiated and participated in the formulation of a series of milestone international instruments, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Declaration on the Minuting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights, the Declaration on the Right to Development, the Millennium Development Goals and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, making indelible contribution to the establishment of the right to independence, right to subsistence, economic, social and cultural rights, right to development, and collective rights.

发展中国家始终是推进人权进步的重要力量。在抗击法西斯主义、军国主义、殖民主义和霸权主义的斗争中，发展中国家推动和参与制定了《世界人权宣言》、《给予殖民地国家和人民独立宣言》、《人权两公约》、《非洲人权和人民权利宪章》、《发展权利宣言》、《千年发展目标》、《2030年可持续发展议程》等一系列具有里程碑意义的国际文书，在确立独立权、生存权、经济社会文化权利、发展权、集体权等方面做出不可磨灭的贡献。
