Taking the past two years as a whole, China’s diplomacy, facing a new situation and new demands, has got off to a fruitful start, with its agenda unfolding across the board and its global network of partnerships basically taking shape.

第三，为促进世界共同发展作出中国贡献。中国作为世界第二大经济体，我们深知自己的责任，也在为促进世界发展繁荣尽自己最大的努力。

Third, we have made our own contribution to common development in the world. As the world’s second largest economy, China is fully aware of its responsibility and has done its utmost to promote development and prosperity of the world.

我们保持经济平稳运行，为世界特别是亚洲经济顶住下行压力提供了有力支撑。中国经济增长继续在全球独占鳌头，为世界发展提供“中国机遇”。中央经济工作会议发出中国经济进入新常态的信号，明确了中国实施新一轮高水平对外开放的方向。我们将对内走出一条可持续发展道路，保持健康稳定的中高速增长，推进经济结构向中高端升级，持续造福中国人民；对外深化互利共赢的开放战略，从提供消费品的世界工厂进一步向提供制造业装备的重要基地迈进，实现中国与世界的共同繁荣。

By maintaining economic stability at home, we have helped global economy, Asian economy, in particular, to effectively resist the downward pressure. As the world’s fastest growing economy, China has made itself an opportunity to world development. The recent Central Economic Work Conference sent out a message that the Chinese economy has come to a new normal, reaffirming China’s direction for a new round of high-quality opening-up. On the home front, we will pursue a path of sustainable development, maintaining a healthy and steady growth of a medium-high speed, upgrading our economic structure toward the medium-high end and bringing about sustained benefits to our people. On the external front, we will deepen our opening strategy of mutual benefit, achieving the transformation from being the world’s workshop of consumer items to being a key supply base of manufacturing equipment and realizing the common prosperity of China and the rest of the world.
