很高兴在岁末年终之际应邀出席国际形势与中国外交研讨会，和大家一道回顾2014世界风云，盘点2014中国外交，集思广议，群策群力，把中国外交办得更好。

It gives me great pleasure to attend the Symposium on the International Development and China’s Diplomacy at the end of the year to review major global trends and the performance of China’s diplomacy in 2014. I hope we will engage in in-depth discussions at the symposium and work for further success in China’s diplomacy in the new year.

2014年，世界形势经历国际金融危机以来新一轮动荡不安。地区冲突交织迸发，全球经济复苏艰难，国际秩序加速演变。总的看，和平与发展的问题更加突出，合作与变革的呼声更加高涨，建立利益与命运共同体的诉求更加强烈。

In 2014, the world experienced a new round of turbulence and instability following the international financial crisis. Conflicts in some regions kept flaring up, the road to global economic recovery remained treacherous, and the transformation of the international order gained momentum. The call for peace and development was stronger, so was the call for cooperation and change and for building a community of shared interests and destiny.

2014年，以习近平同志为总书记的党中央对内全面深化改革，全面推行法治，带领13亿中国人民在实现中华民族伟大复兴中国梦的道路上砥砺前行。对外坚持和平发展，坚持合作共赢，为维护地区和世界的和平、稳定与发展发挥了建设性作用。

In 2014, the central leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) with Comrade Xi Jinping as the General Secretary accelerated the comprehensive reform and advanced rule of law in an all-round way, and it led the 1.3 billion Chinese people in a relentless effort to realize the Chinese dream of great national renewal. On the external front, China remained committed to pursuing peaceful development and win-win cooperation and played a constructive role in upholding peace, stability and development in both our region and the world.

纵观2014年中国外交，我们积极探索国际关系的理论与实践创新，积极参与全球经济与金融治理进程，积极开展与世界各主要方向友好交往，积极推动各种地区热点的和平解决，积极为国内发展服务并创造良好环境。在去年外交成功开局基础上，又取得一系列新的重大进展。

On the diplomatic front, we explored new theories and practices for conducting international relations, participated in global economic and financial governance, engaged in friendly exchanges with countries in all major regions, and worked for the peaceful resolution of hotspot issues in some regions. These efforts created an enabling environment for China’s domestic development. Building on the good start last year, we have continued to achieve major progress in China’s diplomacy this year.
