– Remarks by H.E. Ambassador Liu Xiaoming at the APPCG Chinese New Year Reception
2018年2月21日，英国议会
Palace of Westminster, 21 February 2018
尊敬的英国议会跨党派中国小组主席格雷厄姆先生，尊敬的英国国际贸易大臣福克斯阁下，尊敬的各位议员，女士们、先生们，
Chairman Graham, Secretary Fox, My Lords and MPs, Ladies and Gentlemen,
很高兴出席英国议会跨党派中国小组春节招待会，这是我第八次出席。8年来，我从未缺席，创下一个纪录，成为出席英国议会春节招待会次数最多的中国驻英大使，我对此感到自豪。然而，使我更感到自豪的是，8年来我见证了英中两国发展进步和中英关系的岁月变迁，特别是去年，变化尤为显著。
It is a great pleasure to join you at the APPCG Chinese New Year Reception for the eighth time in a row. During my eight years as Chinese Ambassador to the UK, I did not miss a single APPCG Chinese New Year Reception. I have outdone all the other Chinese Ambassadors before me. And I take great pride in setting this record. What gives me greater pride is bearing witness to the growth of our two countries and the progress of China-UK relations over the past eight years. Last year, the changes were extraordinary.
2017年，英国提前举行大选，启动脱欧进程，进入打造“全球化英国”的历史新阶段。中国成功召开中共十九大，引领中国特色社会主义进入新时代，开启全面建设社会主义现代化国家的新征程。
In the UK, you had the snap election, you began the negotiations to leave the EU, and you stepped into a new historic stage of building a “global Britain”. In China, we held the successful 19th National Congress of the Communist Party, we started a new era for building socialism with Chinese characteristics and we embarked on a new path of building a modern socialist country on all fronts.
