中国成功背后的奥秘是什么？现实的中国和你们在媒体上读到的中国有何不同？中国可以为苏里南提供哪些机遇？这些问题有待你们去回答。

　　朋友们，

What is the secret behind China's success? How different is China from the stories you read about? What is the opportunity in China for Suriname? Those questions wait for your answers. 

Dear friends,

　　中苏关系建立在相互尊重、相互平等和互利共赢的基础上，当前处于历史最好时期，高层交往，经贸合作、人文交流取得丰硕成果。两国能力建设领域合作尤其亮点缤纷。我们每年向苏里南提供10到13个政府奖学金名额，深受苏里南学生们的欢迎。我知道，不少学生已经开始打听明年报名的信息，竞争相当激烈。明年我们将优化专业，提供更多苏里南学生喜爱的工程类专业。此外，去年我们向苏提供的短期培训名额涵盖发展、媒体、卫生、工程、文化、外交等各个领域。我相信，今年我们这项工作会做得更好，培训人数将再创新高。值得一提的是，今年我们为苏里南举办了外交、蘑菇种植等5个国别培训班。我相信，中苏两国的能力建设合作将对苏里南经济社会进一步发展大有助益。

　　同学们，

Based on the principles of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefits and win-win cooperation, China-Suriname relationship is at a historical height at this moment, characterized with frequent high-level visits, fruitful economic cooperation and dynamic people-to-people exchanges.

Our cooperation in capacity building is amazing. Each year, we provide 10 to 13 government scholarship to Surinamese students. And this program is welcomed by local students. The competition is tense and many candidates have approached our embassy for information for next year's application. We will optimize the majors and increase the opportunities for engineering students. Besides, last year, China provided 347 training opportunities to Suriname in various fields including development, media, health, engineering, culture, diplomacy and so on so forth. I am confident that this year we will do even better, with at least 400 trainees to China, including five exclusive bilateral training programs customized for Suriname in the fields of diplomat, mushroom cultivation, governance, industrial park and police training. I believe the cooperation in capacity building will facilitate the development of Suriname. 

Dear students,

　　“读万卷书不如行万里路”。相信你们在中国的亲身体会将比你们从书本和新闻中了解的中国更加丰富和真实。你们对中苏友好合作关系的认识也更加深刻。希望你们学以致用，为苏里南经济建设和中苏关系作出积极贡献。

　　祝你们在华一切顺利，学有所成！

　　谢谢大家！

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. I believe that you are going to see a China much more vivid and truthful than what you have learned from books and media. And you will have a better understanding about China-Suriname friendly relations. I earnestly expect that in the future you will contribute to the development of your motherland and devote yourself to China-Suriname cooperation and friendship with the knowledge you get in China. 

Wish you every success in your study and a happy life in China. 

Thank you.
