对香港来说，香港新一届特区政府成立。香港积极参与“一带一路”和“粤港澳大湾区”建设，2017年经济增速达3.8%，2018年一季度高达4.7%，创6年新高，继续获评全球最具竞争力的经济体之一。
对中英关系来说，梅首相今年初成功访华，中英关系的战略性、务实性、全球性和包容性不断提升。两国各领域务实合作捷报频传，“一带一路”合作方兴未艾。
For Hong Kong,
the new administration of Hong Kong SAR was sworn in;
Hong Kong has taken an active part in the development of the Belt and Road Initiative and Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau bay area;
Hong Kong's growth rate, which was 3.8% in 2017, surged to 4.7% in the first quarter of 2018, reaching a six-year high;
Hong Kong has been rated one of the world's most competitive economies.
For China-UK relations,
Prime Minister May paid a successful visit to China at the beginning of this year. This has upgraded China-UK relations to a more strategic, practical, global and inclusive level.
The cooperation between our two countries across the board has borne rich fruits, with the Belt and Road Initiative promising a great prospect.
展望未来，我想起了一首在香港流行的老歌《明天会更好》。习近平主席说，“幸福都是奋斗出来的”。要实现“更加美好的明天”，我认为，要抓住“三个机遇”：
一是中国进一步深化改革开放的机遇。今年是中国改革开放40周年。今年4月，习近平主席在博鳌亚洲论坛年会上表示，中国开放的大门不会关闭，只会越开越大。这既是中国郑重的政策宣示，也是我们坚定的实际行动。中国将打造陆海内外联动、东西双向互济的全方位开放格局；将着力营造良好营商环境，全面落实准入前国民待遇加负面清单管理制度，加大保护知识产权；将稳步扩大自贸试验区建设，逐步探索建设自贸港；将全面放开一般制造业的市场准入，陆续开放汽车、船舶、飞机等少数仍保留限制的行业；将扩大电信、教育、医疗、养老等服务业开放，在金融业方面开放力度会更大。
This reminds me of a popular charity single of mid 1980s which goes Tomorrow Will Be Better. As President Xi Jinping said, "Happiness is earned through hard work." For a better tomorrow, I believe we need to seize three opportunities:
First, we need to seize the opportunity of China's further reform and opening up.
This year marks the 40th anniversary of China's reform and opening up policy. President Xi Jinping announced at the Annual Conference 2018 of the Boao Forum for Asia last April that China will not close its door. China will only open its door even wider to the world. This is not only a serious policy announcement. It is also a call to action.
Going forward, China will
Open up on all fronts through links running eastward and westward, across land and over sea;
Foster a business-friendly environment by improving IPR protection and implementing pre-establishment national treatment plus a negative list;
Steadily expand pilot free trade zones and experiment with free trade ports;
Give full market access to ordinary manufacturing industries and gradually open up the remaining few industries where access limits still apply, such as the automobile, ship and aircraft industries;
Further open up the service sectors, such as telecommunications, education, medicare and elderly care, and in particular, take major steps to open up the financial sector.
