女士们，先生们：

Ladies and Gentlemen,

当今世界是开放的世界，经济全球化和科技革命为各国提供了互利合作、共同发展的有利条件。要开放、不要封闭，要发展、不要停滞，是大势所趋、人心所向。特别是在应对国际金融危机冲击的过程中，发展国际贸易、促进国际投资成为推动世界经济复苏的关键因素。令人忧虑的是，受种种因素干扰，全球多边贸易体系发展坎坷，多哈回合谈判一波三折、徘徊不前，贸易投资保护主义明显抬头，反倾销、反补贴等贸易救济措施屡遭滥用，贸易摩擦政治化倾向日益突出，给世界经济复苏蒙上浓厚的阴影。

The present-day world is an open one with economic globalization and revolution in science and technology creating conditions favorable for countries to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation geared to common development. It has become the general trend and desire of the people for the world to stay open and keep developing rather than become closed and stagnant. Moreover, as we are in the middle of resisting the international financial crisis, promoting trade and investment among countries holds the key to early world economic recovery. What worries us is that due to various factors, the development of global multilateral trading regime is anything but smooth sailing. The Doha Round negotiations have bogged down, trade and investment protectionism is raising its head with frequent abuses of anti-dumping, countervailing and other trade remedies, and the tendency of politicizing trade frictions has become more salient. All this has cast a dark shadow over world economic recovery.

历史经验证明，自由、开放、公正的国际贸易，能够促进社会分工，提高劳动效率，扩大市场规模，增加就业机会，符合世界各国的根本利益；相反，贸易保护主义只会拖累世界经济复苏步伐，最终受损的是各国人民。在当前国际金融市场急剧动荡、世界经济不稳定和不确定因素显著增加、主要经济体复苏步伐明显放缓的关键时刻，国际社会应当携起手来，同舟共济，以更大的诚意和决心进一步扩大市场开放，以更加鲜明的态度和行动共同抵制形形色色的保护主义，以更加理性的办法妥善处理国际贸易摩擦。惟有这样，才能尽快驱散国际金融危机的阴霾，才能增强国际社会抵御各种风险的能力，才能实现世界经济强劲、可持续、平衡增长。

History shows that international trade that is free, open and fair can improve division of labor, increase productivity, enlarge the marketplace and expand employment, which serves the fundamental interests of all countries. Trade protectionism, conversely, can only drag the feet of the world economic recovery and hurt people of all countries in the end. At this critical juncture characterized by volatile international financial markets, rising economic instability and uncertainty and marked slowdown of recovery of major economies, the international community should join hands and work closely together to open their markets still wider with greater sincerity and determination, reject protectionism of all forms and manifestations with a clear-cut attitude and concrete actions, and find proper and more rational solutions to trade frictions. That is the only way to break the spell of the global financial crisis, improve the risk preparedness of the international community, and achieve strong, sustainable and balanced growth of the world economy.

坚定不移地实施对外开放的基本国策和互利共赢的开放战略，是中国人民作出的自主抉择。我们从自身发展的经验教训中深深懂得“关起门来搞建设是不能成功的”。中国仍然是一个发展中国家，人口多、底子薄、发展不平衡，科学技术相对落后，经济体制和政治体制还不完善，是我们的基本国情。这就需要不断解放思想，与时俱进，以无比坚定的决心和勇气继续推进改革开放，以海纳百川的胸襟学习借鉴国外一切文明成果。今天的中国，扩大开放的基础更加牢固，条件更加成熟，人民群众的意愿更加强烈，对外开放的道路越走越宽广。我们刚刚制定了“十二五”规划，明确提出实行更加积极主动的开放战略，清楚地表达了中国政府和人民坚持对外开放的巨大勇气和决心。

Our state policy of unswervingly opening to the outside world and our win-win strategy of opening-up are the free choices made by our people. We have learned from our own experience, including bitter lessons that one cannot succeed in development behind closed doors. China is still a developing country with a big population, weak economic foundation, uneven development, relative backwardness in science and technology, and far from complete economic and political institutions. These are our basic national conditions. That is why we need to constantly free our mind, keep pace with the times, press ahead with reform and opening-up with rock-solid determination and courage and strive to draw on the achievements of all civilizations with an open mind. Thanks to much improved conditions for opening-up and even greater support from the people, China's opening to the outside world is promised with a bright future. The recently-formulated 12th Five-Year Plan has clearly outlined a more proactive opening strategy, which gives expression to the tremendous courage and resolve of the government and people of China for continued opening-up.
