我们要促进共同发展繁荣。

We need to promote development and prosperity for all.

我提出全球发展倡议，就是推动国际社会走共同发展之路，重振联合国2030年可持续发展议程。在各国支持下，全球发展倡议日益走深走实，各领域合作项目蓬勃开展。中方愿同各国一道，加快推进倡议合作，强化全球发展动能，全面深入推动世贸组织改革，应对共同挑战，增进各国人民福祉。

I have proposed the Global Development Initiative, with the goal of promoting development for all by the international community and boosting the U.N. 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. With the support of many countries, solid gains have been made in pursuing this initiative, with cooperation flourishing in various fields. China will work with all other countries to speed up cooperation under the Global Development Initiative, strengthen drivers of global development, promote the reform of the World Trade Organization in a comprehensive and in-depth manner, meet common challenges together and make life better for people across the world.

去年，我提出全球安全倡议，已经获得100多个国家和国际组织支持。中方愿同各方一道，推动全球安全倡议落地生根，坚持对话而不对抗、结伴而不结盟、共赢而非零和，携手打造安全共同体。

Last year, I put forward the Global Security Initiative, and it has gained support from over 100 countries and international organizations. China stands ready to jointly pursue this initiative with all others.

我们要坚持文明交流互鉴。

We need to stay committed to exchanges among civilizations and mutual learning.

我提出全球文明倡议，强调促进世界文明多样性，弘扬全人类共同价值，加强人文交流合作。中方欢迎各国积极参与倡议合作，促进不同文明百家争鸣、百花齐放，打破交流壁垒，赓续人类文明的薪火。

I have put forward the Global Civilization Initiative, calling for promoting diversity of global civilizations, the common values of humanity, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges and cooperation. China welcomes all other countries to get involved in cooperation under this initiative. We should encourage different civilizations to bring out their best and flourish together; we should break barriers to exchanges, and renew human civilization.
