　　Good evening and a big welcome to this special and festive gathering.

34年前的今天，我們的先輩們開(kāi)啟了中菲外交關(guān)系。他們種下了友誼的種子，今天我們收獲了兩國(guó)強(qiáng)勁的戰(zhàn)略性合作關(guān)系的碩果。感謝先輩們的遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)和勇氣，我們將繼續(xù)為中菲關(guān)系美好未來(lái)而努力前行。

Thirty-four years ago today, the forerunners of our two countries started the diplomatic relations between China and the Philippines. They planted the seeds of friendship, and today, we are reaping a bumper harvest of an ever strong strategic and cooperative relationship between us. We are obliged to the forerunners for their vision and courage, and we shall never waver in carrying this cause forward to a greater and brighter future.

我謹(jǐn)代表中國(guó)人民，感謝菲律賓人民對(duì)我們的友好和善意，感謝你們宣布2002年起，每年的6月9日為“菲中友誼日”。今年是第8屆“菲中友誼日”，我相信這一節(jié)日將繼續(xù)傳承下去。

On behalf of the Chinese people, I want to thank the Philippine people for your friendship and goodwill towards us. We thank you for proclaiming 9th of June since 2002 as the Filipino-Chinese Friendship Day. This is the 8th Friendship Day and I am sure there will be more of them for us to celebrate in the time to come.

我還想利用這一機(jī)會(huì)，感謝菲律賓華人為兩國(guó)關(guān)系發(fā)展所作的貢獻(xiàn)。數(shù)百年來(lái)，菲律賓華人融入菲主流社會(huì)，為菲經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展和民生建立功勛。他們現(xiàn)在是并將繼續(xù)是中菲關(guān)系發(fā)展的重要推動(dòng)力量之一。

This is also an opportunity to acknowledge the contribution of the Filipino-Chinese to the thriving bilateral relationship. For centuries, the Filipino-Chinese have been struggling, fighting and working together with the Philippine people for independence, liberty and prosperity. They are, and will continue to be a driving force for the growth of China-Philippine relations.

今晚是一個(gè)歡慶的盛會(huì)。我們很高興邀請(qǐng)到廣東省藝術(shù)家來(lái)菲表演。今晚的演出將進(jìn)一步為業(yè)已絢爛多彩的中菲文化交流增光添彩。祝愿大家度過(guò)一個(gè)愉快的夜晚。謝謝！

This is a time to celebrate. Tonight, we are so pleased to have with us visiting artists from China's Guangdong Province. Their performance will be another event adding to the already colorful cultural exchanges between our two countries. I hope you will find the performance fascinating, impressive and enjoyable. Thank you and Mabuhay!
