尊敬的吉格梅·廷里首相阁下，
尊敬的南盟各国领导人，
女士们、先生们：
Your Excellency Prime Minister Jigmi Thinley,
Your Excellencies,
Ladies and Gentlemen,
很高兴来到美丽的廷布，出席第十六届南盟峰会。我谨对峰会的成功召开表示祝贺，对不丹王国政府为此次会议所作的周到安排表示感谢。
I am delighted to be here to attend the 16th SAARC Summit in this beautiful city of Thimphu. I wish to express congratulations on the opening of the summit and thanks to the government of the Kingdom of Bhutan for the thoughtful arrangements.
南盟是南亚各国共谋合作、共促发展的重要平台。成立25年来，南盟合作领域不断扩大，合作内涵不断丰富，为促进南亚的和平与稳定，推动地区经济社会发展发挥了不可替代的重要作用。
SAARC is an important platform for advancing cooperation and common prosperity among South Asian nations. In the past 25 years since the founding of the organization, cooperation among SAARC members has developed in breadth and depth. It has played an irreplaceable role in promoting peace and stability in South Asia and stimulating economic and social progress in the region.
一个和平、稳定、繁荣的南亚，一个团结、合作、进步的南盟，符合包括中国在内的本地区各国的共同利益。中国为南盟发展取得的成就感到由衷的高兴，对南盟未来的发展充满信心。
A South Asia that is peaceful, stable and prosperous and a united SAARC geared towards cooperation and progress serve the shared interests of all countries in the region, including China. China is heartened by SAARC's achievements and has full confidence in its future.
中国致力于在和平共处五项原则基础上同南亚所有国家发展友好合作，愿在尊重南盟国家意愿的基础上，本着平等、互利和共赢的精神，与南盟开展对话与交流，拓展务实合作，为推动南盟合作进程、促进南亚和平发展作出贡献。
China is committed to developing friendly cooperation with all South Asian countries on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. China respects the will of SAARC countries. On this basis and in a spirit of equality and mutual benefit, we are ready to conduct dialogue and exchanges and expand practical cooperation with SAARC. This will help enhance SAARC cooperation as well as peace and development in the region.
自2005年成为南盟观察员国以来，中方在人力资源培训、扶贫减灾、经贸合作、新闻媒体等领域全面落实与南盟各项合作承诺，并主动增加了南亚国家商品展等多个新合作项目，充分显示了中方的合作诚意和对南盟的支持。
China became a SAARC observer in 2005. Since then, we have followed through on our cooperation commitments in a whole spectrum of sectors, including human resources training, poverty alleviation, disaster reduction, economic cooperation, trade, and media exchanges. We have undertaken to launch new cooperation projects such as the South Asian Countries Commodity Fair. All this fully shows our goodwill and support to SAARC.
当今世界正在经历大变革、大调整和大发展，包括南亚在内的整个亚洲在全球的地位和影响不断提升。中国与南盟合作面临着历史性机遇。中国是南亚最大邻国，双方传统友谊绵延千年，睦邻友好基础深厚;我们人口总和超过全球总人口的40%，对促进世界和平、发展大业肩负重要使命;我们面临着发展经济、提高人民生活水平的共同任务，相互学习与合作空间十分广阔。总之，中国与南盟合作得天时、占地利、享人和，具有广阔的发展前景。
Today's world is undergoing major changes, adjustments and development. Asia, including South Asia, is witnessing a steady rise of its international standing and influence. Cooperation between China and SAARC thus faces a historical opportunity. China is South Asia's biggest neighbor. Our traditional friendship boasts a history of more than a thousand years. Our good-neighborly relations are deep-rooted. With a combined population that accounts for over 40% of the world's total, we have a major responsibility to promote world peace and development. We all face the task of growing economy and improving people's livelihood. There is a lot we can learn from each other. There is even more we can do together. All in all, we have everything it takes to foster greater cooperation – the right time, favorable geographical conditions and most importantly, support from our people.
