Ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning!
It is my pleasure to attend the signing ceremony of the China aided DTMB Digital TV Demonstration Project. On behalf of the Chinese government, I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the signing of the Implementation Agreement of the Project between China and Timor-Leste, which is actually hard-won and worth celebrating. Since this Project is of great significance and is directly related to the local development and people's daily life of Timor-Leste, it has involved many governmental sectors and procedures in Timor-Leste. Our two sides, on the basis of friendly consultation, through frequent communication and coordination over a considerable period of time, have finally reached a consensus on the Implementation Agreement, which laid solid foundation for today's signing ceremony. Here, I would like to thank the working teams of both sides for their work and commitment. Today, several Secretaries of State of Timor-Leste, representatives of the Chinese Enterprises here, especially the Construction Company of the Project, friends from the Media, are all gathered to witness the signing of the Agreement, which demonstrates the significance of this Project to the development of Timor-Leste. Thank you for your coming and support.
中国有句古话，叫作“民以食为天”，讲的是粮食的重要性。电视节目作为“精神食粮”同样是现代人的必需品。应东方请求，中国政府同意帮助东建设一个DTMB示范项目。该项目采用DTMB技术标准，并提供必要数量的终端机顶盒。这意味着东百姓将能在自己家里用上电缆和机顶盒收看高清数字电视节目，取代原来的卫星接收器和天线。项目建成后，帝力市及周边地区20余万民众将能收看到数十个高清数字电视频道的节目，这将极大丰富东人民精神文化和娱乐生活，提高东国家数字化、信息化程度，提升东广播电视现代化水平。值得一提的是，东民众还将有机会欣赏中国出品的优质电视节目，透过该窗口，了解中国和中国文化，从而加深中东文化交流。
A Chinese saying that describes the importance of food goes like this, "food is the first necessity of people". As the food for the mind, TV programme is also the necessity of modern people. Upon the request of Timor-Leste Government, the Chinese Government agrees to implement the DTMB Digital TV Demonstration Project in Timor-Leste. China will build a digital TV transmission system using DTMB standards, and provide a necessary number of TV set-top boxes. That means each Timorese household will use in-home cable and a set-top box to watch TV instead of using the receiving satellite dish or antenna. It will entertain more than 200 000 of the population in Dili and its surrounding areas with dozens of high-definition digital TV programs. Once completed, it will greatly enrich the culture life and recreations of Timor-Leste people, improve its national digitization and informationization, and modernize the broadcasting and television system of Timor-Leste. What worth mentioning is that, some high-quality Chinese TV programs will be available, served as a window to China and Chinese culture, hence promoting more in-depth intercultural communication.
