It gives me great pleasure to attend the opening ceremony of the 18th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union (AU) in the beautiful city of Addis Ababa. I feel honored to speak on the podium of the AU summit, especially in this AU Conference and Office Complex, the latest symbol of China-Africa friendship. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I wish to take this opportunity to convey the cordial greetings and best wishes of the 1.3 billion Chinese people to you, leaders of African countries, and through you, to our African brothers and sisters. I want to express heartfelt thanks to the AU, the government of Ethiopia, and especially President Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and Chairperson Jean Ping for the thoughtful arrangements and warm hospitality accorded me and my delegation.

在發(fā)表演講前，請(qǐng)?jiān)试S我宣讀中華人民共和國(guó)主席胡錦濤致非盟第十八屆首腦會(huì)議的賀詞：
Before starting the speech, please allow me to read to you the congratulatory message from H. E. Hu Jintao, President of the People’s Republic of China, to the 18th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union.

“非洲聯(lián)盟國(guó)家元首和政府首腦會(huì)議：
“The Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union,

值此非洲聯(lián)盟第十八屆國(guó)家元首和政府首腦會(huì)議召開之際，我謹(jǐn)代表中國(guó)政府和人民，并以我個(gè)人名義，向會(huì)議致以熱烈的祝賀。
On the occasion of the opening of the 18th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union, I wish to extend, on behalf of the Chinese government and people and in my own name, warm congratulations to you.

非洲聯(lián)盟的成立，對(duì)非洲國(guó)家的團(tuán)結(jié)合作、復(fù)興發(fā)展具有劃時(shí)代的意義。非盟成立十年來，著力加強(qiáng)機(jī)構(gòu)和能力建設(shè)，在維護(hù)非洲和平穩(wěn)定、促進(jìn)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展、推動(dòng)一體化進(jìn)程等方面發(fā)揮了至關(guān)重要的作用。非盟已成為世界上有著廣泛影響力的地區(qū)組織之一。我們相信，在非盟引領(lǐng)下，非洲國(guó)家和人民在聯(lián)合自強(qiáng)的道路上一定能夠團(tuán)結(jié)奮斗，開拓進(jìn)取，不斷邁出新的步伐。
The founding of the African Union was an epoch-making event for the unity, cooperation, rejuvenation and development of African countries. Over the past decade since its inception, the African Union has made great efforts to strengthen institutional and capacity building and played a pivotal role in safeguarding peace and stability, promoting economic and social development and advancing the integration process in Africa. The AU has now become one of the most influential regional organizations in the world. We are confident that, under the guidance of the AU, African countries and people will make concerted and pioneering efforts and score new achievements on the path of strength through unity.

中非友誼源遠(yuǎn)流長(zhǎng)。進(jìn)入新世紀(jì)，中非關(guān)系全面、快速、深入發(fā)展。中非合作論壇、中非新型戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系的建立和發(fā)展，極大地推動(dòng)了雙方在政治、經(jīng)貿(mào)、人文等各領(lǐng)域的交流與合作。中非政治互信更加牢固，利益聯(lián)系更加緊密，人民友誼更加深厚。中國(guó)始終是非洲的好朋友、好伙伴、好兄弟，不斷鞏固和加強(qiáng)中非團(tuán)結(jié)合作，促進(jìn)共同進(jìn)步發(fā)展，是中國(guó)對(duì)外政策的重要基石，也是中方長(zhǎng)期、堅(jiān)定的戰(zhàn)略選擇。展望未來，中方將一如既往與非方并肩攜手，繼往開來，推動(dòng)中非新型戰(zhàn)略伙伴關(guān)系向更高層次、更廣領(lǐng)域邁進(jìn)，為非洲和世界的和平與發(fā)展事業(yè)作出更大貢獻(xiàn)。
There exists profound traditional friendship between China and Africa. Since the beginning of the 21st century, China-Africa relations have grown rapidly and made in-depth progress on all fronts. The establishment and development of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) and the new type of strategic partnership between China and Africa have boosted bilateral exchanges and cooperation in the political, economic, trade and cultural fields, making our political trust stronger, our shared interests closer and the friendship between our peoples deeper. China has always been Africa’s good friend, good partner and good brother. To further consolidate and strengthen unity and cooperation between China and Africa and promote common development is an important cornerstone of China’s foreign policy, and a long-term strategic choice that China is firmly committed to. Going forward, we will continue to work with the African side to build upon past achievements and take the new type of China-Africa strategic partnership to a higher and broader plane, thus making even greater contribution to the cause of peace and development in Africa and the world as a whole.

祝本屆非盟首腦會(huì)議圓滿成功！
May this AU summit achieve great success!

祝中非友誼與時(shí)俱進(jìn)，萬古長(zhǎng)青！
May China-Africa friendship advance with the times and last forever!
