Thank you very much Vice Premier Wang Qishan. And let me thank you again for welcoming us to Beijing today to this Economic and Financial Dialogue.
非常感谢王岐山副总理。对于您今天欢迎我们到北京来参加本次经济财金对话，我再一次表示感谢。
I agree with you that we have had very friendly and successful talks, covering a whole range of issues of relevance to both our countries.
我和您都认为：我们的会谈是非常友好而有成效的, 涉及了一系列有关我们两国的事务。
China is now the world’s second largest economy. Its contribution to prosperity in the UK is becoming increasingly important. That is why we have come to China as the strongest ministerial delegation ever to visit from the UK. We look forward to this afternoon, when the Prime Minister David Cameron and Premier Wen will take part in the UK-China summit.
中国现在是世界上第二大经济体。它对于英国经济繁荣的贡献日益重要。这也是我们此次作为英国有史以来最强大的部长级代表团到中国访问的原因。我们期待着今天下午首相戴维•卡梅伦和温家宝总理参加的英-中峰会。
Today the Vice Premier and I talked about the economic relationship between our two countries. We both agreed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation. We both agreed to continue implementing economic policies conducive to sustainable economic growth. The UK has committed to a clear, credible, ambitious and growth-friendly medium-term fiscal consolidation plan which will ensure fiscal sustainability. And as the Vice Premier has said China is committed to accelerate the restructuring to further strengthen the role of domestic demand. This action by both sides will support confidence and mitigate risks to recovery.
今天副总理和我探讨了我们两国间的经济关系。双方一致同意进一步加强双边合作。双方一致同意继续实施有利于经济可持续发展的经济政策。英国已承诺要实施明确的、可靠的、雄心勃勃的、有益于发展的中期财政整顿计划，以确保财政的可持续性。副总理也谈到，中国要致力于加快经济结构调整，进一步加强内需对经济增长的作用。双方的这一举措将有助于提振市场信心、减少经济复苏风险。
We also agreed to work together through the G20. We both strongly support the G20 as the premier forum for our international economic cooperation, where the world’s largest economies work together to support their mutual aspirations and ambitions. We both welcomed the ambitious agreement reached by G20 Finance Ministers & Central Bank Governor at Gyeongju, Korea, to reform the IMF’s quota and governance that will help deliver a more effective, credible and legitimate IMF. At Gyeongju we also agreed to strengthen multilateral cooperation to promote external sustainability and the full range of policies conducive to reducing excessive imbalances and maintaining current account imbalances at sustainable levels. We need to move further forward in Seoul this week. I hope that China will seize the opportunity to play a leading role on this.
双方赞同在G20峰会上共同努力。双方坚定支持G20，这是各国实现国际经济合作的重要论坛，其间，全球最大的经济体为实现他们共同的愿望和前景而协同努力。双方欢迎在韩国庆州G20财长和央行行长会议上就国际货币基金组织份额和治理改革达成的重要共识，这将有助于提高国际货币基金组织的有效性、可信度和合法性。在庆州，我们也赞同加强多边合作，推动外部发展的可持续性以及实施一系列有益于减少过度失衡和在可持续的水平上保持经常账户失衡的政策。我们希望在本周的首尔峰会上能够取得更多进展。我希望中国抓住机会，发挥领导作用。
We also discussed the trade links between our countries. It is worth remembering that China is the world’s largest exporter of goods and the UK is the world’s second largest exporter of services. This complementary in our relationship will provide a strong foundation to strengthen our trade and investment links. Both sides will uphold the principles of free trade and resist all forms of protectionism. We will work together to achieve Doha – the UK sees 2011 as a key window of opportunity for achieving this, and I hope China will take a leading role in driving this agenda forward at the G20 Summit in Seoul.
双方探讨了两国间的贸易关系。值得一提的是，中国是世界上最大的商品出口国，而英国是世界上第二大服务出口国。两国在这方面的互补将为加强我们的贸易和投资关系提供强有力的基础。双方都赞成自由贸易的原则，抵制各种形式的贸易保护主义。双方将协同努力推动多哈回合成果。英国认为2011年是实现这一目标的关键机会，我希望中国在首尔召开的G20峰会上可以发挥领先作用，推动此项议程的开展。
We also discussed how to encourage Chinese investment in the UK and how to enable Chinese companies to do business in the UK. The UK is already one of the most open economies in the world to trade and inward investment and welcomes more Chinese investment, including from sovereign wealth funds. We noted that UK firms are doing well in China’s growing market. For example, UK firms play a key role in China’s financial markets. UK banks account for 23 per cent of the foreign banking market. Our insurers are among the leading foreign players.
双方探讨了如何鼓励中国在英国投资、如何促使中国企业在英国开展业务。英国作为世界上贸易和投资最开放的经济体之一，欢迎更多来自中国的投资，包括主权财富基金的投资。我们注意到，英国企业在中国日益发展的市场上表现出色。例如，英国企业在中国金融市场上发挥着关键作用。英国银行占外国银行市场的23%。英国的保险公司也处于领先的外国企业行列。
