尊敬的各位嘉宾，女士们，先生们，朋友们：

Distinguished Guests,Ladies and Gentlemen,Dear Friends,

我很荣幸在第三届世界和平论坛午餐会上演讲。

It is a privilege to speak at the luncheon of the Third World Peace Forum.

我注意到，随着中国的发展，国际社会对中国对外政策十分关注。我想借今天的机会，同大家分享我对几个问题的看法。

As I’ve noticed, China’s foreign policy has drawn much attention from the international community as the country continues to grow. Therefore, I wish to take this opportunity to share with you my thoughts on the following questions.

一、中国外交政策有没有改变？

First, has China changed its foreign policy?

改革开放以来，中国对外大政方针始终保持稳定性和连续性。我们坚定奉行独立自主的和平外交政策，坚持在和平共处五项原则基础上全面发展同各国的友好合作，坚定维护自身主权、安全、发展利益。我们根据自身根本利益及和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流，下决心走一条大国和平发展的新路子，即通过争取和平国际环境发展自己，又以自身发展维护和促进世界和平，把世界的机遇转变为中国的机遇，把中国的机遇转变为世界的机遇，在中国与世界良性互动、互利共赢中开拓前进。30多年来，中国保持近10%的经济增速，经济总量由1978年的2165亿美元增加到去年的9.2万亿美元，占世界比重从1%上升到12%，成为世界第二大经济体。30多年来，中国有6亿多人口脱贫，对全球减贫事业的贡献率超过70%。事实表明，中国对外方针政策不仅有力促进了中国的发展，也为世界和平与发展作出了重要贡献。我们没有任何理由改变这些被实践证明是完全正确的政策。

Since the introduction of reform and opening up, China’s foreign policy has been stable and consistent. We are firmly committed to an independent foreign policy of peace. We are firmly committed to developing comprehensive and friendly cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. And we are firmly committed to upholding our sovereignty, security and development interests. We are determined, in line with China’s fundamental interests and the trend of peace, development and win-win cooperation, to pursue a new path of peaceful development by a major country. That is to say, we strive to develop ourselves through securing a peaceful international environment and maintain and promote world peace through our own development. We want the world’s opportunities to work for China and China’s opportunities to work for the world, and amidst such sound and win-win interaction, pursue peaceful development. For more than three decades, China has seen 10% growth rate per annum. Its economic aggregate has grown from US$216.5 billion in 1978 to US$9.2 trillion in 2013, or from 1% to 12% of the world’s total. With that, China has become the second largest economy in the world. And in those same 30 years and more, China lifted over 600 million of its people out of poverty, contributing over 70% to global poverty reduction efforts. These achievements clearly show that China’s foreign policy is not only a strong backing for China’s development but also an important contribution to world peace and prosperity. We have no reason to change what has been proven to be the right policy.
