女士们，先生们，

Ladies and Gentlemen,

60年来，新中国外交经受住国际风云变幻的严峻考验，取得举世瞩目的成就。中国同世界各国的友好合作全面发展，建交国已由新中国成立初期的18个增加到现在的171个。中国积极参与多边外交各个领域的活动，共参加130多个政府间国际组织，缔结300多项多边条约。中国积极参与国际社会应对各种全球性问题的协调与合作，推动重大国际和地区热点问题的妥善解决，为推进世界和平与发展的崇高事业作出了积极贡献。

The Chinese diplomacy has withstood the severe tests of fluctuating international situation and achieved world-acclaimed results over the past 60 years. China has strengthened friendly cooperation with all the other countries in the world comprehensively, and the number of countries with diplomatic relations with China has increased from 18 when the PRC was just founded to 171 today. China has participated actively in the activities of various fields of multilateral diplomacy, altogether joined over 130 inter-governmental international organizations and concluded more than 300 multilateral treaties. We have taken an active part in the international efforts to address global issues and worked vigorously for the proper settlement of hotspot issues, making positive contributions to the cause of promoting peace and development in the world.　

改革开放30年来，中国同世界的关系发生了历史性变化，中国的前途命运日益紧密地同世界的前途命运联系在一起。不管国际风云如何变幻，中国都将高举和平、发展、合作旗帜，奉行独立自主的和平外交政策，恪守维护世界和平、促进共同发展的外交宗旨。我们将始终不渝坚持走和平发展道路，奉行互利共赢的开放战略，坚持在和平共处五项原则基础上同所有国家发展友好合作，与世界各国一道，共同建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界。

Thirty years of reform and opening-up have brought historic changes in China's relations with the world, and China's future and destiny are now closely tied to those of the world. No matter how the international situation may evolve, China will always stand for peace, development and cooperation, pursue an independent foreign policy of peace, and stick to its diplomatic vision of upholding world peace and promoting common development. We are committed to following the path of peaceful development. We are committed to pursuing a win-win strategy of opening-up. We are committed to developing friendly relations and cooperation with all countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. We are committed to working closely with other countries to build a harmonious world with enduring peace and common prosperity.
