　　女士们，先生们，朋友们，

　　当今世界正面临百年未有之大变局。和平与发展仍是我们这个时代的主题，但逆全球化思潮泛起，保护主义、单边主义、经济霸权主义肆意横行，对世界和平与发展构成了严峻挑战。在此背景下，中爱关系的重要性和战略意义更加凸显。我们两国更应携起手来，共同应对困难与挑战。

　　双方应进一步深化政治沟通，在涉及彼此核心利益和重大关切的问题上增进互信与相互理解支持，不断夯实两国关系的政治基础。

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Our world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. Peace and development remain the underlying trend of our times, while unilateralism, protectionism, economic hegemony and de-globalization are on the rise. Ireland and Europe are facing increasing challenges under the ongoing Brexit crisis. In this regard, China and Ireland have an even stronger need to cooperate with each other, and the importance and strategic significance of a positive bilateral relations cannot be underestimated. In this new era, our two countries should join hands to tackle together the difficulties and challenges that lie ahead of us.

We should further deepen our political communication by intensifying mutual understanding, mutual trust and mutual support on the issues of each-other's core interests and major concerns, so as to strengthen the political foundation of our relations.

　　双方应进一步充实务实合作。中方欢迎爱方积极参与“一带一路”建设，推动“一带一路”框架下绿色农牧业、金融服务、科技创新等领域务实合作走深走实，夯实两国关系的物质基础。中方将坚定奉行改革开放政策，欢迎更多爱尔兰企业赴华投资兴业，我们也期待爱尔兰一如既往地为在爱中国企业提供稳定、公平、透明的营商环境，期待爱尔兰成为中国与欧洲交往合作的窗口和桥梁。

　　双方应进一步促进民心相通。我们要延续当前双边人文、教育、地方往来的良好势头，在两国人民之间播撒更多友谊的种子，培养更多致力于推动中爱关系发展的接班人。

We should further enrich practical cooperation. China welcomes Ireland to take an active part in the Belt and Road Initiative and is ready to deepen our cooperation in fields of green agriculture, financial services, scientific and technical innovation, etc. under the Belt and Road Initiative so as to consolidate the material foundation of the bilateral relations. China will adhere to the policy of reform and opening up and welcome Irish companies to invest in China. We also wish Ireland to offer to Chinese enterprises a steady, fair and transparent corporate environment, and expect Ireland to be a window and a bridge for China-Europe exchanges and cooperation.

We should further strengthen the close contact between our two peoples, maintain the good momentum of cultural, educational and local exchanges between the two countries so as to sow more seeds of friendship between the two peoples and bring up more successors to the cause of China-Ireland friendship.
