五是G,即“Global”,全球共识更突出。新形势下,中英关系的全球性、战略性内涵日益突出。双方在联合国、二十国集团、亚投行等框架下合作良好,在自由贸易、全球治理、气候变化等重大国际问题上战略共识增多,在朝核、伊朗核等国际和地区热点问题上保持密切沟通。正如梅首相去年在金融城市长年度晚宴上所说,中英可携手塑造世界格局。
Now, we come to G. G is for the global issues where China and the UK enjoy broad consensus. In the new era, the bilateral relationship between our two countries has increasingly taken on a more global and strategic significance. Our two countries enjoy sound cooperation under the framework of the UN, the G20 and the AIIB. We expanded our strategic consensus on major global issues such as free trade, global governance and climate change. And we maintained close communication on international and regional hotspots including the Korean Peninsular nuclear issue and the Iran nuclear issue. In the words of Prime Minister May at the Lord Mayor's Banquet last year, China's decisions together with Britain's will “shape the world around us”.
值得一提的是,议会跨党派中国小组成立21年来,积极促进中英议会交往,增进英各界对华认知,为推动中英关系全面发展做出了重要贡献。我期待在新的一年,两国议会各层级交流更加频繁,取得更多成果,为两国关系发展做出更大贡献。
So, that is my summary of “APPCG” for China-UK relations in 2017. Now let me turn to the owner of this acronym, the All Party Parliamentary China Group. Since its establishment 21 years ago, the APPCG has made important contribution to China-UK inter-parliamentary exchanges. And through such efforts, you have helped to enhance understanding of China among the British public. You have worked for closer and all-round China-UK relations. I hope the new year will see more frequent China-UK inter-parliamentary exchanges at all levels. I look forward to more outcomes from these exchanges and greater contribution to our bilateral relations.
各位议员,
My Lords and MPs,
2018新年伊始,梅首相成功访华,我和福克斯大臣、格雷厄姆主席均有幸陪同,见证了这成果丰硕的访问。中英关系实现“开门红”:两国领导人一致同意共同打造中英关系“黄金时代”增强版。展望新的一年,我们期待与英方共同努力,为打造中英关系“黄金时代”增强版添砖加瓦:
At the beginning of the New Year, Prime Minister May paid a successful visit to China. Secretary Fox, Chairman Graham and I were with the Prime Minister and witnessed this productive and fruitful visit. During the visit, the leaders of our two countries agreed to build China-UK “Golden Era” 2.0. This is a good start for China-UK relations in the new year. Looking ahead, China stands ready to join hands with the British side to contribute to China-UK “Golden Era” 2.0.
