李克强在第12届中欧工商峰会上的演讲

女士们、先生们！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

中欧关系走过40多年历程，逐步迈入成熟稳健的发展轨道。2017年，习近平主席访问欧盟期间，提出共同打造中欧和平、增长、改革、文明四大伙伴关系，为中欧合作注入了新的强大动力。在双方各界人士共同努力下，中欧全方位合作稳步推进，经贸合作更是硕果累累。欧盟长期是中国第一大贸易伙伴、第一大技术After a journey of more than 40 years, China-EU relations have moved onto a track of more mature and sound development. During President Xi Jinping’ s visit to the EU in 2017, he proposed joint efforts to build the partnerships for peace, growth, reform and civilization, which injected fresh and strong impetus into China-EU cooperation. Thanks to the concerted efforts from all sectors on both sides, China-EU cooperation has been making steady and all-round progress. Most notably, our economic and trade cooperation has borne fruitful outcomes. For many years, the EU has been China’ s largest trading partner, largest provider of technology and an important source of foreign investment. China, on its part, is the second largest trading partner of the EU. According to Chinese statistics, since the international financial crisis, China’ s export to the EU has registered an average annual growth of 1.8 percent, and the EU’s export to China 5.8 percent. Today, every single minute, more than US$1 million worth of goods and services are being traded between the two sides. The value of goods traded for every two days now is equivalent to that of the whole year in the early period of our diplomatic ties. China and the EU are linked together by over 600 flights every week and 150 freight train services every month. The growth of China-EU cooperation is a natural outcome of the complementarity of our strengths, and has delivered benefits to people on both sides. European capital, technology and managerial expertise have given a boost to China’s industrialization, while high-quality yet inexpensive products from China have been a big money saver for European families. The vast Chinese market has generated huge profits for the 16,000 European-invested companies in China. Chinese investment in Europe has created a large number of jobs for European countries.
