亚洲的发展，机遇和挑战并存，希望和困难同在；但机遇多于挑战，困难可以克服。回顾历史，亚洲孕育了多个文明，创造过辉煌。近代以来，亚洲历经磨难和考验，在奋斗中不断发展。现在，亚洲已经站在一个新的起点上，自强不息、开拓进取的亚洲人民正在携手创造新的崛起，面向世界，走向未来，迈向现代化。在世界调整与变革的大势下，我们愿与亚洲各国一道，凝聚共识，携手努力，应对挑战，战胜困难，共同推动亚洲健康与可持续发展。

We know that in Asia's development, opportunities and challenges and hopes and difficulties exist side by side. We also know that opportunities and hopes outweigh challenges and difficulties. History recalls that Asia was the cradle of several proud civilizations and the region where splendor was created profusely. In modern times, Asia has gone through trials and tribulations and worked relentlessly for development. Today, Asia is at a new starting point. The resilient and enterprising people in Asia are working together to embrace a new rise, thus bringing themselves to the world, to a better future and to modernity. In this changing world, China is ready to work with other Asian countries to jointly cope with challenges and overcome difficulties, so to push forward Asia's sound and sustainable development.

一是立足内生增长。这是亚洲健康与可持续发展的独特优势，也是亚洲开放型经济发展的新趋势。亚洲人口约占全球的45%，绝大多数国家是发展中国家，各国国内和各国之间发展不平衡，内需市场潜力巨大。亚洲还拥有世界上最多的劳动人口，有最大的工程师与科研人员队伍，人力资源优势明显。在继续发挥比较优势、参与全球竞争的同时，着力开拓内需市场；在保持投资适度增长、增加要素投入的同时，充分发挥消费的作用，发挥科技进步和劳动者素质提高的潜能，亚洲经济是能够实现强劲、可持续、平衡增长的。

First, we should promote internal drivers of growth. Here lies Asia's unique advantage in achieving sound and sustainable development. It is also the new trend in the open economic development in Asia. Asia is home to around 45 percent of the world's population. Most Asian countries are developing countries. Development is uneven both inside individual countries and among them, which gives a huge potential in their markets of domestic demand. Asia also has the world's largest labor force and the largest pool of engineers and scientific researchers, enjoying a remarkable edge in human resources. While continuing to unleash its comparative advantages in global competition, it is important for Asia to explore and expand markets of domestic demand, and while maintaining measured investment growth and increased factors input, Asia should fully tap the potential of consumer spending, technological upgrading and improvement of labor skills. In so doing, Asia's economy will be able to achieve robust, sustainable and balanced growth.

二是秉承开放包容。这是亚洲健康与可持续发展的必然要求。过去亚洲经济的快速增长是在开放中实现的，今后亚洲进一步发展仍需坚持开放，包括向世界开放和各国相互开放。实行开放的地区政策，在开放中相互促进、取长补短，对亚洲持久发展意义重大。各国应增进相互信任，加强学习借鉴，倡导包容性增长，在重大国际和地区问题上保持沟通协调，积极应对气候变化、粮食和能源资源安全等全球性挑战，主动参与全球治理结构和国际金融体系调整改革。同时，我们欢迎地区外国家参与亚洲发展进程并发挥建设性作用。这有利于促进亚洲繁荣，有利于促进新兴经济体与发达经济体深化合作，有利于世界和平、稳定和发展。参加本次年会的嘉宾有1/3来自欧美国家，这从一个侧面反映了亚洲更加开放。

Second, we should stay open and inclusive. Here lies the inevitable requirement for Asia's sound and sustainable development. The fast growth Asia has achieved in the past is due to its openness. Asia should stay open, both to the world and among its members. Open regionalism with mutual learning is crucial to the sustained development of Asia. Countries in Asia should enhance their mutual trust, draw on each other's strength, advocate inclusive growth, maintain communication and coordination on major international and regional issues, and get actively involved in addressing climate change, food, energy and resources security and other global challenges as well as adjustment and reform of the global governance structure and international financial system. At the same time, we welcome involvement of countries outside the region in Asia's development and a constructive role they play in this process, for this serves to promote Asia's prosperity, enhance deepened cooperation between emerging economies and developed ones and is conducive to the peace, stability and development of the world. One third of the guests to this year's forum come from European and American countries, which has reflected a more open Asia.

三是实现互利共赢。这是亚洲健康与可持续发展的有效途径。近年来，亚洲国家之间各种务实合作不断加深，东南亚、中亚、东北亚、南亚等区域合作成果丰硕。目前，亚洲区域内贸易占全部贸易的比重已超过50%，彼此在合作中获得了发展的红利。新的形势下，需要各国继续加强磋商与合作，推动全球贸易自由化、投资便利化，反对各种形式的保护主义，提升交通、通信、能源等基础设施互联互通和网络化水平，深化区域及次区域合作，促进亚洲和世界各国共同发展。开放合作于人有利，于己有利，是互利共赢之路。

Third, we should go after mutual benefit and win-win result. Here lies the effective way for Asia's sound and sustainable development. In recent years, Asian countries have deepened their practical cooperation of various types through fruitful cooperation programs in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Northeast Asia and South Asia. Intra-Asian trade has accounted for over half of Asian countries' total foreign trade, allowing them to reap handsome dividends for development. Under the new circumstances, Asian countries need to further enhance their consultation and cooperation, promote trade liberalization and investment facilitation, oppose all forms of protectionism, upgrade the connectivity and networks of transport, communication and energy infrastructure, deepen regional and sub-regional cooperation, and work to promote common development between Asia and the rest of the world. Openness and cooperation benefits all and leads to win-win progress.

四是促进团结和谐。这是亚洲健康与可持续发展的有力保障。亚洲各国体制和模式多样，民族和文化多元，团结互助格外重要。建设一个和平、团结、和谐的亚洲，需要继续发扬同舟共济的精神，共同应对金融危机冲击和经济风险挑战，共同克服重大自然灾害的影响，共同解决发展中遇到的阶段性难题；需要在经济发展中更加重视社会公平正义，更多帮助欠发达地区和困难群体，促进各国人民共享发展的成果。

Fourth, we should advocate solidarity and harmony. Here lies the strong guarantee for Asia's sound and sustainable development. Given the Asian countries' differences in social system and development model and diversity in ethnic structure and cultural heritage, solidarity and mutual assistance in Asia is of particular importance. A peaceful, united and harmonious Asia requires that we continue working together like passengers traveling in the same boat and make concerted efforts to respond to the impact of financial and economic crises, mitigate major natural disasters and address development bottlenecks. We are also required to place greater importance on social equity and justice while pursuing economic development, give greater help to underdeveloped areas and distressed groups and ensure that people of all countries can share the fruits of development.

五是坚持和平发展。这是亚洲健康与可持续发展的重要基石。亚洲之所以能够取得今天的发展成就，很大程度上得益于长期保持了总体和平稳定的局面。在经济全球化和新的国际体系中，各国和亚洲的繁荣发展，应当也只能通过和平与合作来实现。从战略高度考虑彼此关系，求同存异，寻求利益最大交汇点，是各方根本利益和长远利益所在。无论是以往的遗留问题，还是现实的分歧和争端，只要有关各方从维护相互友好关系和发展大局出发，尊重历史，遵循国际关系的基本准则，是能够通过对话协商与和平谈判解决的。这是亚洲之福、世界之幸。

Fifth, we should stay committed to peaceful development. Here lies the vital cornerstone for Asia's sound and sustainable development. Asia's success in development is largely attributable to the overall peace and stability the region has enjoyed over the years. With ongoing economic globalization and the changing international system, Asia and the countries in the region should and must achieve their growth and prosperity through peace and cooperation. Countries will have their fundamental and long-term interests served if they view their relations with each other from a strategic perspective, seek common ground while reserving differences and seek the maximum convergence of interests. As long as the parties concerned proceed from the larger picture of friendly relations among Asian countries and the development of Asia as a whole, respect history, and abide by the basic norms governing international relations, we will be able to solve our problems through dialogue, consultation and peaceful negotiation, be it issues left over from history or differences and disputes of the day. It will be a blessing for both Asia and the world.
