Ladies and gentlemen,

First of all, permit me, on behalf of the organizing committee of the forum, to extend our warm welcome to the leaders of the Tianjin Municipal Government, leaders of social organizations, representatives of the Community Social Workers' Association and guests from various circles!

女士们、先生们，日新月异的信息技术给我们带来了知识结构与内容的更新与革命，而全球化的浪潮更是波及人类生活的每一个层面，改变着我们局限于种族、地区与国家的传统的思维方式。社会的发展与进步也越来越多地与社会每一成员和团体密切相关。从这个意义上来说，市民社会具有推动社会发展的重要意义。与此同时，日趋多元化的文化对社会进步也起着极其重要的促进作用。
Ladies and gentlemen, the ever-changing information technology has updated and revolutionized the structure and content of human knowledge. And globalization is increasingly affecting every facet of our life. Consequently, our traditional way of thinking, which used to be constrained within the mindset of ethnicity, region and state, has been drastically changed. Social development and advancement have been increasingly built into the life of every social individual and group. In this regard, the civil society is especially important for the promotion of social development and meanwhile, our culture is becoming more and more pluralistic, playing a pivotal role in pushing forward the advancement of our society.
中国有着古老灿烂的文明，同时也正在经历着一场历史性的走向现代化的大变革。作为亚太地区的重要国家，中国正在健康地稳步走向社会与文化的繁荣与发展。本次“亚太地区市民社会与文化多样性天津国际论坛”就是在这一背景下举行的。我们希望通过这次国际论坛，可以加深不同社会与文化之间的相互了解，促进亚太地区学术界的交流，促进本地区文化与社会的变革与发展。
China enjoys a long tradition of brilliant civilization, and is currently dedicated to the historical, vigorous transformation that leads to a modern society. China as one of the most important countries in the Asia-Pacific region is advancing healthily and steadily towards social and cultural prosperity and development. The current “Tianjin Forum on Civil Society and Cultural Pluralism in the Asia-Pacific Region" is set exactly against this background. It is our hope that the forum will intensify mutual understanding between different societies and cultures, facilitate academic exchanges in the Asia-Pacific region, and promote cultural and social changes and
development in this region.
