问：您如何评价中国同阿根廷战略伙伴关系发展水平？今后两国可以在哪些重点领域开展合作？

3. How do you assess the current China-Argentina strategic partnership? What do you think are the major areas in which the two countries will be able to work together?

答：中阿建交40多年来，在双方共同努力下，两国关系持续快速发展。阿根廷史诗《马丁·菲耶罗》中有这样一句话：“兄弟之道是团结同心。”中阿已经成为相互信任的好朋友、平等互利的好伙伴。

Since the establishment of diplomatic relations more than 40 years ago, our bilateral ties have moved forward rapidly thanks to the joint efforts of the two sides. As a line from the Argentine epic Martin Fierro goes, “Brothers have to be united, because this is the first law.” China and Argentina have become trustworthy friends and equal partners in win-win cooperation.

去年，我同克里斯蒂娜总统在二十国集团领导人圣彼得堡峰会上举行双边会见，就加强中阿各领域交流合作深入交换意见。那次会见给我留下深刻印象。中方赞赏阿方坚持一个中国原则，支持阿方对马岛的主权要求。

Last year, President Cristina and I met at the G20 St. Petersburg Summit. We had an in-depth exchange of views on increasing exchanges and cooperation between our two countries in all fields. The meeting is still vivid in my memory. China appreciates Argentina’s commitment to the one-China principle and supports Argentina’s claim on the sovereignty of the Malvinas.

2013年，双边贸易额达148亿美元，是建交之初的2400多倍，中国已经成为阿根廷第二大贸易伙伴和主要投资来源国，阿根廷成为中国在拉美的第五大贸易伙伴。双方能源资源、农业、基础设施建设、金融等领域合作富有成效，给两国人民带来了实实在在的利益。两国人文交流丰富多彩，中阿人民相互了解和友谊不断加深。在重大国际和地区事务中，中阿保持密切而良好的战略协作，有力维护了发展中国家共同利益。

In 2013, bilateral trade reached US$14.8 billion, more than 2,400 times of the amount in the early days of our diplomatic ties. China has become Argentina’s second largest trading partner and a major source of investment. Argentina has become China’s fifth largest trading partner in Latin America. The two sides have had productive cooperation in energy, resources, agriculture, infrastructure development and finance, bringing real benefits to the two peoples. Thanks to the rich programs of people-to-people exchanges, mutual understanding and friendship between the Chinese and Argentine people have deepened. On major international and regional affairs, China and Argentina have maintained close and sound strategic coordination, effectively upholding common interests of developing countries.
