　　Remarks by State Councilor Dai Bingguo at the Opening Session of the Third Round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue

　　Washington DC, 9 May 2011

　　尊敬的克林顿国务卿和盖特纳财长，

　　尊敬的王岐山副总理，

　　女士们、先生们、朋友们：

　　Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,

　　Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner,

　　Vice Premier Wang Qishan,

　　Ladies and Gentlemen,

　　Dear Friends,

　　很高兴来华盛顿出席第三轮中美战略与经济对话。我们这次对话正值中美关系史上一个不同寻常的时间节点：今年是中美开展“乒乓外交”和基辛格博士秘密访华40周年。40年前，中美两国人民的友好意愿和政治家的决断勇气，汇成一股不可阻挡的历史潮流，轰然推开了尘封20多年的中美两国交往的大门，自那以后，世界上再也没有任何力量能够把这扇大门重新关上了。今天，我们相聚在这里，回首过去几十个岁月，展望中美关系更好的未来，我们情不自禁地要向中美关系的破冰者、开拓者和建设者们致以崇高的敬意。我们更要以他们当年那样的远见卓识和开拓精神，推动中美关系的车轮继续滚滚向前。

　　It is a great pleasure for me to join you at the third round of the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogues (S&ED) here in Washington. We meet at a unique point in the history of China-US relations, as this year marks the 40th anniversary of the ping-pong diplomacy and of Dr. Kissinger's secret visit to China. Forty years ago, the desire of the Chinese and American people for friendly interactions, together with the decisiveness and courage of our political leaders, produced an unstoppable force of history. It pushed open the door of engagement between our two countries that had remained shut for over 20 years. Since then, no force in the world has ever had the power to close that door again. Today, as we review the past and look ahead to a better future of China-US relations, we cannot but pay high tribute to those ice-breakers, pioneers and builders of China-US relations. More importantly, we shall learn from their foresight and pioneering spirit, because we have to bring China-US relations forward.

　　当前，中美关系同样处在一个重要的历史节点上。我们刚刚跨入本世纪第二个十年，正是在这个时候，胡锦涛主席同奥巴马总统今年1月在华盛顿会晤，共同决定了建立和发展相互尊重、互利共赢的合作伙伴关系，为中美关系未来发展指明了方向。历史正在并将继续证明，两国元首作出的这一决定是一个顺应和平与发展历史潮流、造福于中美两国人民、造福于全人类的历史性重大决定。

　　The China-US relationship, too, is at an extremely important point in history. President Hu Jintao and President Obama met in Washington this past January, a time when we have just entered the second decade of the 21st century. Together, the two Presidents decided to build a cooperative partnership based on mutual respect and mutual benefit, charting a clear course for the future of China-US relations. History will show that the decision they made is a historic one that accords with the tide of history and serves the benefit of the people of China, the United States and the world.

　　诚然，要把这个重大的决定不折不扣地变成活生生的现实，把誓言变成实实在在的行动，不是一件容易的事情，必然会遇到种种困难、阻力和干扰。但我相信，只要中美双方都看清21世纪和平、发展、合作的世界大势，毫不动摇地坚持两国元首确定的大方向，下定决心，排除万难，就一定能走出一条崭新的相互尊重、和谐相处、合作共赢的大国关系路子来，中美两国人民和我们的子孙后代就一定能够持久地生活在和平、友谊、合作的阳光之中。

　　Admittedly, it is no easy task to make this major decision a living reality and turn commitment into real actions, as we face all sorts of difficulties, obstacles and interference on the way ahead. I am confident, however, that so long as both sides grasp the right trend of the world and of China-US relations in the 21st century, stick to the direction set by our Presidents with resolution, and never waver in our determination to overcome whatever difficulties coming our way, we will blaze a new path of major-country relations featuring mutual respect, harmonious coexistence and win-win cooperation, so that our people and our future generations will live in the sunshine of lasting peace, friendship and cooperation.

　　此刻，站在你们各位面前致辞的已是古稀之年的老人了，按理应该回家同儿孙相聚、共享天伦之乐了，为什么还在不停地奔忙于太平洋两岸，一次又一次地同我的美国伙伴们坦诚对话，倾心交流呢?就是要落实两国元首达成的共识，为了一个崇高目标：使中美两国和两国人民成为永久的好朋友、好伙伴，使我们各自子孙后代幸福安宁。难道我们应当让他们失望吗?不，绝对不能!他们的失望，就意味着我们的失职。而失职是不能原谅的。

　　I am standing here addressing you as a 70-year old man, an age when I should have gone home and enjoy the company of my children and grandchildren. Why then am I still flying across the Pacific and sitting in round after round of candid and heart-to-heart dialogues with my American partners? I am doing this to implement the consensus of our Presidents for the achievement of one lofty goal: to make our two countries and peoples forever good friends and good partners, and to enable our children and children's children to live in peace and happiness. Could we ever let them down? The answer is no, a definite no. If we do, we would be failing our duty, and that would be unforgivable.

　　朋友们，中美两国人民同住一个“地球村”，你们在西头，我们在东头。欢迎更多的美国朋友到我们那里去走一走，看一看，聊一聊，亲身感受中国人民对美国人民的友好感情，亲身体验中美关系是何等的重要，亲身了解中国在包括人权事业在内的各个方面取得的巨大进步，亲身了解什么是真实的中国。

　　Dear friends, the people of China and the United States live in the same "global village", you on the west side and we the east. I welcome more American friends to visit China to see and feel for yourselves the friendship of the Chinese people and the importance of China-US relations. You may also learn first-hand the enormous progress China has made in various fronts, including in human rights.

　　最后，祝此轮对话顺利、成功!

　　To conclude, I wish this round of dialogues full success.
