应杜达总统邀请，我将对波兰共和国进行国事访问，这是我担任中国国家主席后首次访问波兰。我期待着同杜达总统以及波兰其他领导人就提高两国关系水平、深化务实合作、加强中波在重大国际和地区问题上的协调合作深入交换意见。

At the invitation by President Duda, I will soon be making a state visit to the Republic of Poland, which will be my first visit to Poland as the Chinese President. I look forward to having in-depth discussions with President Duda and other Polish leaders on enhancing bilateral relations, deepening practical cooperation and strengthening coordination and cooperation between China and Poland on major international and regional issues.

上世纪90年代，我到过波兰，那次访问给我留下了深刻印象。波兰人民勤劳勇敢智慧，历史文化底蕴深厚。哥白尼探索宇宙之无限大，创立"日心说"，改变了人类的宇宙观。居里夫人认识微观世界之无限小，发现钋和镭两种新元素，促进了放射性理论发展和应用。同世界上所有音乐爱好者一样，中国人民喜爱音乐大师肖邦的作品，特别是肖邦钢琴曲的优美旋律始终回荡我们心间。

I visited Poland in the 1990s, which left me a deep impression. The Polish people are diligent, intelligent and courageous, and the country has a proud history and brilliant culture. Nicolaus Copernicus, exploring the vast universe, pioneered the theory of "the Sun rather than the Earth at the center of the Universe," transforming mankind’s understanding of the Universe. Madam Curie, studying the micro world, discovered the two isotopes of Polonium and Radium, which paved the way for the development and application of the theory of radioactivity. Like music lovers all over the world, the Chinese people are fond of F.F. Chopin, a towering musician of Poland. The melodious tunes of Chopin’s piano compositions, in particular, have a powerful resonance in our hearts.

中波两国虽然相距遥远，但彼此交往源远流长。17世纪中叶，波兰传教士卜弥格来到中国，广泛研究中国社会、历史、医学、地理等学科，发表大量著作，是首位向西方介绍中国古代科学文化成果的欧洲人，被誉为"波兰的马可·波罗"。中波两国都有一句谚语叫"患难见真情"，第二次世界大战期间，两国人民彼此同情、相互支持，结下深厚友谊。傅拉都、戎格曼等波兰友人不远万里来华，为中国抗日战争提供医疗支援，乌尔班诺维奇、什曼凯维奇等波兰军人参加盟国军队援华。波兰人民为最终战胜法西斯、赢得世界和平付出了巨大牺牲，作出了重大贡献。

Though China and Poland are geographically far apart, our friendly interactions date back centuries. In the middle of the 17th century, Polish missionary Michal Boym came to China. He wrote many books based on his extensive study of Chinese society, history, medicine and geography, and became the first European to introduce scientific and cultural achievements of ancient China to the West, winning the reputation of "the Marco Polo of Poland." Both the Chinese and the Poles believe that "true friendship stands out in difficult times." This was borne out during the WWII when our two peoples sympathized with and supported each other, forging a deep friendship. Dr. S. Flato, Wolf Jungerman and many other Polish friends traveled long distances to provide medical support in China during its war of resistance against Japanese aggression. Witold Urbanowicz and Wlodzimierz Szymankiewicz fought in China as members of the allied forces assisting China. With heroic sacrifices, the Polish people made important contribution to the final victory of the Anti-Fascist War and the restoration of world peace.
