　　--Speech by H.E. Zhang Yan at Presentation on India China Trade & Investment Opportunities
　　26 Aug 2011, Ahmedabad, Gujarat

　　尊敬的印中经济文化促进会主席P. S. Deodhar先生，
　　尊敬的各位来宾，
　　女士们，先生们：
　　Honorable Mr. P S Deodhar, President of ICEC,
　　Distinguished guests,
　　Ladies and Gentlemen,
　　很高兴能再次访问古吉拉特，这是一个美丽和充满活力的地方，也是圣雄甘地的故乡。能为印中经济文化促进会古邦分会揭幕，并与在座的各位商界代表们共同探讨中印贸易与投资机遇，推进双边经贸合作，我感到十分荣幸。首先，我谨代表中国驻印度大使馆，向在座的所有朋友表示感谢，感谢你们对推动中印友好合作发展的鼎力支持。今天，我想利用这个机会与大家分享我对中印关系和中印合作的看法。
　　I am very happy to visit Gujarat again, a beautiful and vibrant state and also the birthplace of Mahatma Gandhi. I also feel greatly honored to attend this gathering to inaugurate the Gujarat Chapter of India and China Economic and Culture Council and participate in a presentation on "India China Trade and Investment Opportunities" to exchange views with you on how to advance our bilateral economic and commercial cooperation. First of all, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in India, I would like to express my gratitude to all friends present here today for your keen interests in and valuable support to the development of China-India cooperative relations. Today, I want to use this occasion to share with you my views on our relations and cooperation.
　　第一，关于中印关系。
　　First, on China and India bilateral relationship.
　　我们都知道，经济关系不能脱离政治关系。政治关系始终对经济合作有导向作用，中印关系更是如此。中印建交61年来，除了短暂的跌宕期，中印关系在整体上保持稳步发展。
　　As we all know, economic relations can not be separated from political relations. The political relations always have direct bearing on economic cooperation. This is more so in China and India relations. In the past 61 years since China and India established diplomatic relations, our bilateral relations on the whole enjoyed a steady development, except for a very short period of ups and downs.
　　进入21世纪，中印关系迈上了快速发展的轨道。特别是过去几年，中印关系取得了积极和丰硕的成果。2005年，中国国务院总理温家宝访问印度。双方建立了面向和平与繁荣的战略合作伙伴关系。2006年，中国国家主席胡锦涛访印期间，两国制定了深化合作的“十项战略”。2008年，印度总理曼莫汉·辛格访华，两国宣布了《关于二十一世纪的的共同展望》。去年，中印建交60周年，双方举办了“中国节”和“印度节”，印总统帕蒂尔和温家宝总理实现成功互访。今年是“中印交流年”，旨在推动教育、文化、人文等领域的友好交流与合作。所有这些高层互访和交流活动增加了彼此互信，并为各领域关系的发展提供了坚实的政治基础。
　　Since the beginning of the 21st century, the relationship between China and India has entered into a fast track of development. The past few years in particular have witnessed active and fruitful interactions between two countries. In 2005, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited India. Two sides established strategic cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity. In 2006, two countries formulated the "Ten Pronged Strategies" to deepen the partnership during Chinese President Hu Jintao’s visit to India. In 2008, during Indian Prime Minister Mamohan Singh’s visit to China, two countries announced A Shared Vision for the 21st Century. Last year, President Patil and Premier Wen Jiabao paid successful visits to each other’s country on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations as well as the China Festival and Indian Festival. This year has been declared as China-India Exchange Year, aiming at pushing the friendly exchanges and cooperation in education, culture and people-to-people to a new height. All these high level exchanges and related events have increased mutual trust and provided solid political assurance for the development of our relations in all aspects.
　　再则，令人鼓舞的是，两国领导人均从战略和长远角度看待中印关系，高度重视发展互利合作关系。胡锦涛主席曾经说过，印度是中国的重要邻国。中方愿与印方一道，保持进一步发展中印战略合作伙伴关系的良好势头，努力维护两国的共同利益。印度总理辛格在不同场合多次表示，世界上有足够的空间供中印度共同发展。在此基础上，温家宝总理说，世界上有足够的空间供双方开展合作。在两国领导人的关心和支持下，中印关系已超越双边范畴，具有全球和战略意义。
　　Moreover, it is encouraging to see that the leaders of our two countries have viewed our relationship in a long and strategic perspective, and attach increasing importance to the development of our mutually beneficial cooperative relations. President Hu Jintao once said India is an important neighbor of China. China is ready to work with India to maintain the sound momentum for further advancement of the China-India Strategic and Cooperative Partnership and work with India for the common interests of our two countries. Indian Prime Minister Dr. Mammohan Singh stated on several occasions that there is enough room in the world for India and China to achieve common development. On top of this, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao added that there is enough space in the world for China and India to cooperate with each other. With the personal care and support of our leaders, China-India relations have gone beyond the bilateral dimension and assumed global and strategic significance.
　　我们充分认识到，由于历史原因，中印关系还存在分歧和挑战。但两国关系日趋成熟，能够妥善处理这些分歧与挑战，不会影响两国其他领域的合作。
　　We are fully aware of the fact that there are differences and challenges left over by history in our relations. But two countries are matured enough to properly handle them and not let them to hinder our cooperation in other fields.
　　尽管有媒体炒作中印关系，我始终坚信中国和印度是合作伙伴而非对手，更不是如某些人所称的带有火药味的竞争对手。如果中印两国共同发声，世界必须对此有所觉悟。如果中印两国携手共进，我们可以达到目标，实现共同繁荣。基于上述看法，我对中印关系以及中印经济合作的未来表示乐观。
　　In spite of the media hype on China-India relation, I am in firm belief that China and India are partners for cooperation, rather than rivalries or bitter competitors as some one have claimed. If China and India speak, the world has to listen. If two countries join the hands and work together, we can achieve what we want and prosper together. On the basis of above assessment, I am optimistic about the future of our relations as well as our economic cooperation.
　　第二，关于中印经济合作。
　　Second, on bilateral economic cooperation.
　　中国和印度是当今世界上两个快速发展的新兴经济体。中印两国的经济发展成就和合作引起了国际上越来越多的关注。两国总人口超过25亿，经济增长保持在年均8%至9%的速度，中国和印度已成为世界经济增长的动力来源。在这种情况下，两国的经济合作具有全球重大意义。
　　China and India are two fast emerging economies in the world today. Their economic performance and interactions have attracted increasing attention around the world. With a total population of more than 2.5 billion and a growth rate at 8 to 9 per cent annually, China and India have become powerhouses for world economic growth. Under this circumstance, our bilateral economic cooperation has acquired global significance.
　　在双方共同努力下，中印经济合作取得了显著进展，并成为两国关系的亮点。2010年双边贸易额达到617亿美元，是10年前的20倍。今年上半年，双边贸易保持强劲的增长势头，贸易额已达352.7亿美元，比去年同期增长16.1％。
　　Thanks to the concerted efforts of both sides, China and India economic cooperation has scored significant progress and become a main feature of our relations. The bilateral trade volume reached 61.7 billion in 2010, 20 times of increase within 10 years. During the first half of this year, the bilateral trade maintains a strong momentum of growth. The two-way trade volume has reached 35.27 billion USD, with 16.1% of increase on year on year bases.
　　作为两个快速发展的新兴经济体，中国和印度有着各自的竞争优势。中国的优势在于制造业和基础设施建设。印度则在服务业，软件外包和生物制药等领域具有优势。两国在许多方面具有互补性，并且已在许多方面协同合作。我们应该充分发挥各自的优势，在平等互利的基础上继续扩大合作。
　　As two fast emerging economies, China and India each has its competitive edge. China is strong in manufacturing and infrastructure development. India, on its part, has its advantage in areas such as service sector, software outsourcing and bio-pharmaceutical. Two economies are complementary to each other in many ways and enjoy certain degree of synergy. We should give our respective potentials to full play and expand our cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual benefit.
　　近年来，中印两国相互投资不断增长。一些知名中国企业来到印度投资或与印度同行成立合资企业。华为和中兴分别在印度设立了软件研发中心。一些中国制造企业，如三一重工和柳工分别在浦那和印多尔市设厂已有几年，生产建筑工程设备。值得一提的是，在浦那的亚普（YAPP）--ZOOM合资公司是第一家在印度生产汽车塑料油箱的公司。此外，许多电力、家电、轻工等企业也计划在印度设立生产线。这些项目将不仅提升印度的制造能力和当地产业结构，而且还将为当地创造大量就业机会，促进地区经济和社会发展。
　　Recent years also witnessed growing mutual investment between two countries. Some renowned Chinese companies have come to India to invest or entered into joint venture with Indian counterparts. Huawei Telecommunications India and ZTE Telecom India have set up R&D centers in India to develop software for their equipments. Several Chinese manufacturing enterprises, such as Sany heavy Industry (India) Pvt. in Pune, Liugong India Pvt. in Indore are already producing construction equipments in India for several years. It is worth mentioning that YAPP-ZOOM joint venture in Pune is the first of its kind producing automotive plastic oil tank in India. Furthermore, many Chinese companies in power sector, home appliances, light industry, etc. are also planning to set up production lines in India as well. Those projects would not only increase the manufacturing capacity and upgrade the local industry structure, but also create a large number of job opportunities for the local people and promote the social and economic development in the regions.
　　在我来这之前，我在班加罗尔出席了 “新印度钢铁有限公司”首期落成典礼。这家公司由中国两家制造业和贸易公司，即中国新兴际华集团和中国五矿集团，与两家印度公司和一家美国公司共同投资并组成战略联盟。第一阶段年产80万吨铁矿石球团厂的建设已经顺利建成投产。在下一阶段，将继续建成一个年产20万吨的球磨铸管厂和年产250万吨的钢厂。整个项目完成时总投资将达到850亿卢比，这将提升印度的钢铁加工技术及钢产量。从中我们看到中印在经济领域的通力合作。但我必须说，相对于两国的经济规模，无论是在规模或数量上，我们之间的合作水平还比较低。因此，有大量的合作空间需我们共同开发。
　　Before I came here, I was in Bangalore attending the Commissioning Ceremony of Xindia Steels Limited yesterday. Two Chinese Manufacturing and Trading Companies, China Xingxing Group and China Minmetals Group, have formed strategic alliance with two Indian companies and one American company. The first phase of construction of 8-hundred-thousand million tones per annual Iron Ore Pelletization Plant has been successfully completed and commissioned. In next phases, a ductile iron pipes factory with the production capacity of 2 hundred-thousand tons and a steel factory with the production capacity of 2.5 million tones per annum will be added. By the time when the whole project is finished with total investment of Rs. 8500 crores, it will increase the capability of iron processing and steel production of India. From the above, one can see the vigorous cooperation between China-India in economic field. But I must say, in view of the magnitude of our two economies, the level of our cooperation is still rather low whether measured by scale or quality. Therefore, there are still plenty of rooms for us to explore.
