当前，中国人民正在为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦而奋斗，土库曼斯坦人民也在积极建设“强盛幸福”时代，双方各自的国家发展战略高度契合。

Now, the Chinese people are working hard to realize the Chinese dream of the great renewal of the Chinese nation, and the Turkmenistan people are striving to bring about an epoch of power and happiness. This makes the development strategies of the two sides all the more compatible.

我期待着访问土库曼斯坦期间同别尔德穆哈梅多夫总统就规划双边关系第三个10年发展、统筹两国发展战略、实现共同繁荣深入交换意见，并作出重要决定。我相信，通过这次访问，双方能够实现提高中土关系整体水平、推动大型项目和重点领域合作、传播中土世代友好理念的预期目标，为中土关系发展注入新的强大动力。

I am looking forward to the visit during which I will have in-depth exchange of views and jointly make some important decisions with President Berdymukhamedov on how to plan for the third decade of bilateral relations and how to coordinate development strategies of the two sides and realize common prosperity. I am confident this visit will achieve the goal of lifting the overall bilateral relationship, facilitating large projects and cooperation in priority areas and promoting lasting friendship from generation to generation, so as to inject a strong impetus into the relationship between the two sides.

问：中方怎么看目前中国经济增长有所放缓？中国经济前景如何？中国是否会推出稳定经济增长的新措施？

2. How does China view its current economic slowdown? What are the future prospects of China’s economy? Will China adopt any new measures to stabilize economic growth?

答：中国经济基本面良好，今年上半年中国国内生产总值增长7.6%，与其他国家相比，经济增长处于高水平。如果我们继续以往的发展方式，我们会有更高的增长率。但是，在宏观经济政策选择上，我们坚定不移推进经济结构调整，推进经济转型升级，宁可主动将增长速度降下来一些，也要从根本上解决经济长远发展问题。因此，这样的增长速度，是良性调整的结果。

The fundamentals of the Chinese economy are sound. In the first half of this year, China’s GDP grew by 7.6%, which was relatively high compared with other countries. In fact, the growth rate could have been higher had we continued with the past development model. However, we have chosen to implement a macroeconomic policy under which we will press ahead with the adjustment of economic structure in order to transform and upgrade the economy. We would rather bring down the growth rate to a certain extent in order to solve the fundamental problems hindering our economic development in the long run. In this sense, such a growth rate is the result of sound adjustment.
