Having worked for many years in local governments myself, I fully understand how challenging it is to be local leaders, as the job carries immense responsibilities. I am also deeply aware of the importance of sub-national cooperation to the growth of overall relations between countries. State-to-state relations ultimately rely on the support of the people and serve the people. Provinces and states are closest to the people. Without successful cooperation at the sub-national level, it would be very difficult to achieve practical results for cooperation at the national level. That is why I place great importance on China-US sub-national cooperation. Over the past 30 plus years, the growth of our relations has been achieved with support of local governments and their people. Going forward, it will continue to draw strength from and deliver benefits to them.
我高兴地看到,近年来,中美地方交流合作呈现新的蓬勃发展态势。中国31个省区市同美国50个州建立了43对友好省州、200对友好城市。过去10年,美国42个州对华出口增幅达到3位数。据美方统计,中国过去5年对美投资年均超过80多亿美元,增速还在加快。今天来的美国5个州,中国都是你们位列前四位的出口市场和主要留学生来源国。与会的中国6个省市,有的以美国为第一大贸易伙伴,有的吸引数以千计的美国企业投资,有的一年对美国贸易额增幅就超过40%。这些交流合作造福了两国人民。
