女士們、先生們、朋友們！
Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends,

亞投行應該奉行開放的區域主義，同現有多邊開發銀行相互補充，應該以其優勢和特色給現有多邊體系增添新活力，促進多邊機構共同發展，努力成為一個互利共贏和專業高效的基礎設施投融資平臺，在提高地區基礎設施融資水平、促進地區經濟社會發展中發揮應有作用。
The AIIB shall remain committed to open regionalism. The institution and existing multilateral development banks may complement each other for mutual strength. With its inherent advantages and unique features, the AIIB could make the current multilateral system more dynamic to facilitate common development of multilateral institutions. The AIIB could become a professional and efficient platform to promote infrastructure related investment and financing for the benefit of all sides. And the AIIB has a due role to play to raise the level of infrastructure financing and of economic and social development in the region.

亞洲基礎設施融資需求巨大，是一片廣闊的藍海，新老機構互補空間巨大，可以通過開展聯合融資、知識共享、能力建設等多種形式的合作和良性競爭，相互促進，取長補短，共同提高，提升多邊開發機構對亞洲基礎設施互聯互通和經濟可持續發展的貢獻度。
The demand for infrastructure development in Asia is enormous. Institutions for infrastructure investment, old or new, have much to offer each other, and may well work together through joint financing, knowledge sharing and capacity building. They may engage each other in benign competition, learn from and reinforce each other, and move forward in tandem. This is a way to allow multilateral development institutions to contribute more to infrastructure connectivity and sustainable economic development in the region.

亞投行應該結合國際發展領域新趨勢和發展中成員國多樣化需求，創新業務模式和融資工具，幫助成員國開發更多高質量、低成本的基礎設施項目。亞投行以發展中成員國為主體，同時包括大量發達成員國，這一獨特優勢使其能夠成為推進南南合作和南北合作的橋梁和紐帶。
The AIIB should adapt itself to new trends in international development and accommodate the diverse needs of developing members. It should explore new business models and financing tools, and help member states develop more infrastructure projects that are of higher quality and at lower costs. While developing countries make the mainstay of the AIIB membership, the institution also attracts a large number of developed members. Such a unique strength makes it a bridge and a bond to facilitate both South-South cooperation and North-South cooperation.

亞投行應該按照多邊開發銀行模式和原則運作，并充分借鑒現有多邊開發銀行在治理結構、環境和社會保障政策、采購政策、債務可持續性等方面好的經驗和做法，取長補短，高起點運作。
The AIIB should function as a multilateral development bank as far as its operating model and principles are concerned. It should learn from the experience and best practices of existing multilateral development banks in terms of governance structure, environment and social benefits policies, procurement policy and debt sustainability. Mutual learning and sharing helps the AIIB function according to high standards.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends,

中國是國際發展體系的積極參與者和受益者，也是建設性的貢獻者。倡議成立亞投行，就是中國承擔更多國際責任、推動完善現有國際經濟體系、提供國際公共產品的建設性舉動，有利于促進各方實現互利共贏。
China has taken an active part in, contributed a constructive part and benefited from the international development system. The initiative to establish the AIIB is a constructive move. It will enable China to undertake more international obligations, promote improvement of the current international economic system and provide more international public goods. This is a move that will help bring mutual benefits and win-win outcomes to all sides.

中國作為亞投行倡議方，在銀行成立后，將堅定不移支持其運營和發展，除按期繳納股本金之外，還將向銀行即將設立的項目準備特別基金出資5000萬美元，用于支持欠發達成員國開展基礎設施項目準備。
China, as the initiator of the AIIB, will firmly support its operation and development. In addition to subscribing capital according to plan, China will contribute 50 million U.S. dollars to the project preparation special fund to be established soon, to support the preparation for infrastructure development projects in less developed member states.

2016年是中國“十三五”時期開局之年。中國將按照創新、協調、綠色、開放、共享的發展理念，著力推動創新驅動發展，增強經濟發展新動力；著力推動供給側結構性改革，適應和引領經濟發展新常態；著力擴大對外開放，更加注重推進高水平雙向開放。中國有信心、有能力保持經濟持續健康發展，為亞洲和世界各國創造更多機遇、帶來更多福祉。
The year 2016 is the first year of China's 13th five year plan. China will aspire to achieve innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development. The focus of agenda will be on promoting innovation-driven development to strengthen new drivers for economic development, on promoting supply-side structural reform to adapt to and lead the new normal of economic development, and on opening wider to the outside world with more emphasis given to advancing high-level and two-way opening up. China has the confidence and capability to ensure sustained and sound economic development and bring more opportunities and benefits to Asia and beyond.

中國將始終做全球發展的貢獻者，堅持奉行互利共贏的開放戰略。中國開放的大門永遠不會關上，歡迎各國搭乘中國發展的“順風車”。中國愿意同各方一道，推動亞投行早日投入運營、發揮作用，為發展中國家經濟增長和民生改善貢獻力量。我們將繼續歡迎包括亞投行在內的新老國際金融機構共同參與“一帶一路”建設。
China will continue to contribute to global development and will continue to pursue an opening up strategy of mutual benefit. The door of China's opening up will never shut and China welcomes all countries to ride on its development. China stands ready to work with other parties to make sure that the AIIB will start to operate and play its due role as soon as possible and contribute to economic growth and better livelihood in developing countries. And China continues to welcome AIIB and other international financial institutions to take part in the building of the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends,

眾人拾柴火焰高。亞投行是各成員國的亞投行，是促進地區和世界共同發展的亞投行。亞投行要取得成功，需要各方團結協作、形成合力。
As the saying goes, the bonfire burns higher when everyone adds firewood to it. The AIIB belongs to all its member states. It is designed to facilitate common development in the region and the world at large. To succeed, it needs to count on the solidarity, cooperation and synergy of all sides.

我期待并堅信，通過各成員國攜手努力，亞投行一定能成為專業、高效、廉潔的21世紀新型多邊開發銀行，成為構建人類命運共同體的新平臺，為促進亞洲和世界發展繁榮作出新貢獻！為改善全球經濟治理增添新力量！
I hope and believe that through the joint efforts of all member states, the AIIB will become a new multilateral development bank for the 21st century that is professional, efficient and clean in operation. It will also be a new platform to help foster a community of shared future for mankind, to make new contribution to prosperity in Asia and beyond and lend new strength to improvement of global economic governance!

謝謝大家。
Thank you.
