It gives me great pleasure toattend the opening ceremony of the Third World Peace Forum (WPF) in the famousTsinghua University. I wish to thank the Tsinghua University and the ChinesePeople’s Institute of Foreign Affairs for the efforts they have made for thesuccess of the previous two forums and the convening of the forum this year.

自2012年创立以来，世界和平论坛致力于增进互信、凝聚共识、扩大合作，知名度和影响力不断上升，为维护世界和平与安全作出了积极贡献。本届论坛以“追求共同安全：和平、互信、责任”为主题，符合世界大势和各国人民共同期待，具有重要现实和长远意义。众多世界知名的政治家、战略家和专家学者会聚一堂，我相信大家一定会用好论坛这个平台，紧扣论坛主题进行交流探讨，共同为促进亚洲和世界的和平与安全献计献策。

Since its inception in 2012, theWPF has committed itself to increasing mutual trust, building consensus andexpanding cooperation, acquiring a growing popularity and influence whilemaking a due contribution to world peace and security. The choice of the themefor the current forum, In Pursuit of Common Security: Peace, Mutual Trust andResponsibility, best reflects the world trend of development and meets thecommon aspirations of the people of all countries. As such, it gives bothpractical and far-reaching significance to the WPF. With so many world-renownedpolitical leaders, strategists, experts and scholars coming to the forum, I amconfident that you will make the most of the WPF platform, exchange views onthe theme of the forum, and come up with good proposals and suggestions forpeace and security in Asia and the world as a whole.
