China and countries in South Asia are important partners for cooperation. Our cooperation, like a massive treasure long-awaited to be unearthed, promises great prospects for us. In the next five years, China will work with South Asian countries to increase the bilateral trade to US$150 billion and its investment in South Asia to US$30 billion and provide US$20 billion in concessional facilities to the region. China will expand people-to-people and cultural exchanges with South Asia. It plans to offer 10,000 scholarships, training opportunities for 5,000 people and an exchange and training program for 5,000 youth, and train 5,000 Chinese language teachers for South Asia in the next five years. China will work with countries of South Asia to implement the China-South Asia Partnership Initiative for Science and Technology, give full play to the role of China-South Asia Expo, and build new platforms for mutually beneficial cooperation.

中国是南亚最大邻国，印度是南亚最大国家。中国期待同印度一道，为本地区发展贡献更大力量，让喜马拉雅山脉两侧的30亿人民共享和平、友谊、稳定、繁荣。

China is the biggest neighbor of South Asia and India is the largest country in South Asia. China is ready to work together with India and make greater contribution to the development of the region so that the three billion people living on both sides of the Himalayas will enjoy peace, friendship, stability and prosperity.

女士们、先生们、朋友们！

Ladies and Gentlemen,Dear Friends,

90年前，中国人民喜爱的印度伟大诗人泰戈尔访问了中国，受到中国人民热烈欢迎。一踏上中国的土地，泰戈尔就说：“我不知道什么缘故，到中国就像回到故乡一样。”在离开中国时，他伤感地说：“我的心留在这里了。”

Ninety years ago, Rabindranath Tagore, the great Indian poet admired by the Chinese people, visited China and was warmly received there. Upon setting foot on China’s soil, Tagore said, “I don’t know why, but coming to China is like coming home.” Upon leaving China, he said quite sadly, “My heart stays.”
