为了实现中国梦，中国需要长期和平稳定的外部环境。中国只有走和平发展道路，才能实现自己的发展目标。中国人民近代以后经历了100多年战乱频发的惨痛历史，决不希望这样的悲剧在任何地方重演。“己所不欲，勿施于人。”中国珍视和平、珍爱和平、维护和平的决心是不可动摇的。

To realize this Chinese dream, China needs a long-term peaceful and stable external environment. Only the path of peaceful development can lead China to attaining its development goal. After suffering from the pain of over 100 years of incessant warfare in modem times, the Chinese people hate to see such tragic experience repeat anywhere in the world. As the ancient Chinese philosophy teaches us, “Do not do onto others what you do not want them to do onto you.” China cherishes and loves peace. And it is firm in its resolve to maintain peace.

女士们、先生们、朋友们！

Ladies and Gentlemen,Dear Friends,

从尼泊尔到马尔代夫，从阿富汗到孟加拉国，南亚人民对美好生活的热望、对国家振兴的追求，展现了南亚发展的光明前景。我坚信，南亚是充满希望、潜力无穷的次大陆，可望成为亚洲乃至世界经济新的增长极。

The people in South Asia, from Nepal to Maldives, and from Afghanistan to Bangladesh, have yearned for a better life and pursued national revitalization. All this has promised a bright future for the development of South Asia. I am convinced that South Asia, a subcontinent that holds infinite promise and potential, will become a new pole of growth in Asia and beyond.

一个和平稳定、发展繁荣的南亚，符合本地区国家和人民利益，也符合中国利益。中国愿同南亚各国和睦相处，愿为南亚发展添砖加瓦。中国提出“一带一路”倡议，就是要以加强传统陆海丝绸之路沿线国家互联互通，实现经济共荣、贸易互补、民心相通。中国希望以“一带一路”为双翼，同南亚国家一道实现腾飞。

A South Asia that enjoys peace, stability, development and prosperity serves the interests of countries and people in the region and of China as well. China wants to live in harmony with all countries in the region and contribute its share to the development of the region. The “Belt” and “Road” initiatives that China has put forward are precisely aimed at strengthening connectivity among countries along the routes of the traditional land and maritime Silk Roads, with a view to achieving common prosperity, complementarity in trade and closer people-to-people ties. China hopes that, propelled by the two “wings” of the “Belt” and the “Road”, its economy will take off together with those of South Asian countries.
