Editor's note: President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the opening plenary of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2013 on Sunday in South China's Hainan province.

Following is the translated version of the full text of his speech from Xinhua News Agency.

尊敬的各位元首、政府首腦、議長、國際組織負責人、部長，博鰲亞洲論壇理事會各位成員，各位來賓，女士們，先生們，朋友們。

Your Excellencies, Heads of State and Government, Speakers of Parliament, Heads of International Organizations, Ministers, Members of the Board of Directors of the Boao Forum for Asia, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,

椰風暖人，海闊天高。在這美好的季節(jié)里，同大家相聚在美麗的海南島，參加博鰲亞洲論壇2013年年會，我感到十分高興。首先，我謹代表中國政府和人民，并以我個人的名義，向各位朋友的到來，表示誠摯的歡迎！對年會的召開，表示熱烈的祝賀！

In this balmy season with clear sky and warm, coconut-scented breeze, I am so glad to meet all of you at the Annual Conference 2013 of the Boao Forum for Asia here in Hainan, a picturesque island embraced by the vast ocean.

Let me begin by extending, on behalf of the Chinese government and people and also in my own name, a heartfelt welcome to you and warm congratulations on the opening of the Annual Conference of the Boao Forum.

12年來，博鰲亞洲論壇日益成為具有全球影響的重要論壇。在中國文化中，每12年是一個生肖循環(huán)，照此說來，博鰲亞洲論壇正處在一個新的起點上，希望能更上一層樓。本屆年會以“革新、責任、合作：亞洲尋求共同發(fā)展”為主題，很有現(xiàn)實意義。相信大家能夠充分發(fā)表遠見卓識，共商亞洲和世界發(fā)展大計，為促進本地區(qū)乃至全球和平、穩(wěn)定、繁榮貢獻智慧和力量。

In the past 12 years since its birth, the Boao Forum for Asia has become an important forum with growing global influence. In the Chinese culture, 12 years form a zodiac cycle. In this sense, the Boao Forum has reached a new starting point and I hope it will scale an even greater height.

The theme of the current annual conference, namely, "Asia Seeking Development for All: Restructuring, Responsibility and Cooperation", is a highly relevant one. I hope you will engage in an in-depth discussion on promoting development in Asia and beyond and thus contributing, with your vision and commitment, to peace, stability and prosperity in Asia and the world at large.

當前，國際形勢繼續(xù)發(fā)生深刻復雜變化。世界各國相互聯(lián)系日益緊密、相互依存日益加深，遍布全球的眾多發(fā)展中國家、幾十億人口正在努力走向現(xiàn)代化，和平、發(fā)展、合作、共贏的時代潮流更加強勁。同時，天下仍很不太平，發(fā)展問題依然突出，世界經(jīng)濟進入深度調(diào)整期，整體復蘇艱難曲折，國際金融領域仍然存在較多風險，各種形式的保護主義上升，各國調(diào)整經(jīng)濟結(jié)構面臨不少困難，全球治理機制有待進一步完善。實現(xiàn)各國共同發(fā)展，依然任重而道遠。

The world today is experiencing profound and complex changes. Countries have become increasingly inter-connected and inter-dependent. Several billion people in a large number of developing countries are embracing modernization. The trend of the times, namely, peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit, is gaining momentum.

On the other hand, our world is far from peaceful. Development remains a major challenge; the global economy has entered a period of profound readjustment, and its recovery remains elusive. The international financial sector is fraught with risks, protectionism of various forms is on the rise, countries still face many difficulties in adjusting economic structure, and the global governance mechanisms call for improvement. Achieving common development for all countries remains an uphill battle.

亞洲是當今世界最具發(fā)展活力和潛力的地區(qū)之一，亞洲發(fā)展同其他各大洲發(fā)展息息相關。亞洲國家積極探索適合本國情況的發(fā)展道路，在實現(xiàn)自身發(fā)展的同時有力促進了世界發(fā)展。亞洲與世界其他地區(qū)共克時艱，合作應對國際金融危機，成為拉動世界經(jīng)濟復蘇和增長的重要引擎，近年來對世界經(jīng)濟增長的貢獻率已超過50%，給世界帶來了信心。亞洲同世界其他地區(qū)的區(qū)域次區(qū)域合作展現(xiàn)出勃勃生機和美好前景。

Asia is one of the most dynamic and most promising regions in the world, and its development is closely connected with the development of other continents. The Asian countries have energetically explored development paths suited to their national conditions and greatly boosted global development through their own development. Working side by side with the rest of the world in time of difficulty to tackle the international financial crisis, Asia has emerged as an important engine driving world economic recovery and growth. In recent years, Asia has contributed to over 50 percent of global growth, instilling much needed confidence in the world. What is more, Asia's cooperation with other regions of the world at regional and sub-regional levels has great vitality and promising prospects.

當然，我們也清醒地看到，亞洲要謀求更大發(fā)展、更好推動本地區(qū)和世界其他地區(qū)共同發(fā)展，依然面臨不少困難和挑戰(zhàn)，還需要爬一道道的坡、過一道道的坎。

But we should also be keenly aware that Asia still faces many difficulties and challenges in boosting both its own development and joint development with other regions. The road ahead remains a bumpy and twisting one.

亞洲發(fā)展需要乘勢而上、轉(zhuǎn)型升級。對亞洲來說，發(fā)展仍然是頭等大事，發(fā)展仍然是解決面臨的突出矛盾和問題的關鍵，迫切需要轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟發(fā)展方式、調(diào)整經(jīng)濟結(jié)構，提高經(jīng)濟發(fā)展質(zhì)量和效益，在此基礎上不斷提高人民生活水平。

Asia needs to transform and upgrade its development model in keeping with the trend of the times. Sustaining development is still of paramount importance to Asia, because only development holds the key to solving major problems and difficulties it faces. It is important that we should shift the growth model, adjust the economic structure, make development more cost effective and make life better for our people.

亞洲穩(wěn)定需要共同呵護、破解難題。亞洲穩(wěn)定面臨著新的挑戰(zhàn)，熱點問題此起彼伏，傳統(tǒng)安全威脅和非傳統(tǒng)安全威脅都有所表現(xiàn)，實現(xiàn)本地區(qū)長治久安需要地區(qū)國家增強互信、攜手努力。

We need to make concerted efforts to resolve major difficulties to ensure stability in Asia. Stability in Asia now faces new challenges, as hotspot issues keep emerging, and both traditional and non-traditional security threats exist. The Asian countries need to increase mutual trust and work together to ensure durable peace and stability in our region.

亞洲合作需要百尺竿頭、更進一步。加強亞洲地區(qū)合作的機制和倡議很多，各方面想法和主張豐富多樣，協(xié)調(diào)各方面利益訴求、形成能夠保障互利共贏的機制需要更好增進理解、凝聚共識、充實內(nèi)容、深化合作。

We need to build on past success and make new progress in promoting cooperation in Asia. There are many mechanisms and initiatives for enhancing cooperation in Asia, and a lot of ideas on boosting such cooperation are being explored by various parties. What we need to do is to enhance mutual understanding, build consensus, and enrich and deepen cooperation so as to strike a balance among the interests of various parties and build mechanisms that bring benefits to all.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Friends,

人類只有一個地球，各國共處一個世界。共同發(fā)展是持續(xù)發(fā)展的重要基礎，符合各國人民長遠利益和根本利益。我們生活在同一個地球村，應該牢固樹立命運共同體意識，順應時代潮流，把握正確方向，堅持同舟共濟，推動亞洲和世界發(fā)展不斷邁上新臺階。

Mankind has only one earth, and it is home to all countries. Common development, which is the very foundation of sustainable development, serves the long-term and fundamental interests of all the people in the world. As members of the same global village, we should foster a sense of community of common destiny, follow the trend of the times, keep to the right direction, stick together in time of difficulty and ensure that development in Asia and the rest of the world reaches new highs.

第一，勇于變革創(chuàng)新，為促進共同發(fā)展提供不竭動力。長期以來，各國各地區(qū)在保持穩(wěn)定、促進發(fā)展方面形成了很多好經(jīng)驗好做法。對這些好經(jīng)驗好做法，要繼續(xù)發(fā)揚光大。同時，世間萬物，變動不居?！懊髡咭驎r而變，知者隨事而制?！币饤壊缓蠒r宜的舊觀念，沖破制約發(fā)展的舊框框，讓各種發(fā)展活力充分迸發(fā)出來。要加大轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟發(fā)展方式、調(diào)整經(jīng)濟結(jié)構力度，更加注重發(fā)展質(zhì)量，更加注重改善民生。要穩(wěn)定推進國際經(jīng)濟金融體系改革，完善全球治理機制，為世界經(jīng)濟健康穩(wěn)定增長提供保障。亞洲歷來具有自我變革活力，要勇做時代的弄潮兒，使亞洲變革和世界發(fā)展相互促進、相得益彰。

First, we should boldly break new ground so as to create an inexhaustible source of power for boosting common development. Over the years, many countries and regions have developed a lot of good practices in maintaining stability and promoting growth. We should continue such practices. However, nothing in the world remains constant, and as a Chinese saying goes, a wise man changes as time and event change. We should abandon the outdated mindset, break away from the old confines that fetter development and unleash all the potential for development. We should redouble efforts to shift the growth model and adjust the economic structure, raise the quality of development and make life better for the people. We should steadily advance the reform of the international economic and financial systems, improve global governance mechanisms and provide support to sound and stable global economic growth. Asia, with its long-standing capacity for adjusting to change, should ride on the waves of the times and make changes in Asia and global development reinforce and benefit each other.

第二，同心維護和平，為促進共同發(fā)展提供安全保障。和平是人民的永恒期望。和平猶如空氣和陽光，受益而不覺，失之則難存。沒有和平，發(fā)展就無從談起。國家無論大小、強弱、貧富，都應該做和平的維護者和促進者，不能這邊搭臺、那邊拆臺，而應該相互補臺、好戲連臺。國際社會應該倡導綜合安全、共同安全、合作安全的理念，使我們的地球村成為共謀發(fā)展的大舞臺，而不是相互角力的競技場，更不能為一己之私把一個地區(qū)乃至世界搞亂。各國交往頻繁，磕磕碰碰在所難免，關鍵是要堅持通過對話協(xié)商與和平談判，妥善解決矛盾分歧，維護相互關系發(fā)展大局。

Second, we should work together to uphold peace so as to provide security safeguard for boosting common development. Peace is the ever-lasting wish of our people. Peace, like air and sunshine, is hardly noticed when people are benefiting from it. But none of us can live without it. Without peace, development is out of the question. Countries, whether big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, should all contribute their share to maintaining and enhancing peace. Rather than undercutting each other's efforts, countries should complement each other and work for joint progress. The international community should advocate the vision of comprehensive security, common security and cooperative security so as to turn our global village into a big stage for common development, rather than an arena where gladiators fight each other. And no one should be allowed to throw a region and even the whole world into chaos for selfish gains. With growing interaction among countries, it is inevitable that they encounter frictions here and there. What is important is that they should resolve differences through dialogue, consultation and peaceful negotiations in the larger interest of the sound growth of their relations.

第三，著力推進合作，為促進共同發(fā)展提供有效途徑?！耙换í毞挪皇谴海倩R放春滿園?！笔澜绺鲊?lián)系緊密、利益交融，要互通有無、優(yōu)勢互補，在追求本國利益時兼顧他國合理關切，在謀求自身發(fā)展中促進各國共同發(fā)展，不斷擴大共同利益匯合點。要加強南南合作和南北對話，推動發(fā)展中國家和發(fā)達國家平衡發(fā)展，夯實世界經(jīng)濟長期穩(wěn)定發(fā)展基礎。要積極創(chuàng)造更多合作機遇，提高合作水平，讓發(fā)展成果更好惠及各國人民，為促進世界經(jīng)濟增長多作貢獻。

Third, we should boost cooperation as an effective vehicle for enhancing common development. As we often say in China, a single flower does not make spring, while one hundred flowers in full blossom bring spring to the garden. All countries in the world are closely linked and share converging interests. They should both pool and share their strengths. While pursuing its own interests, a country should accommodate the legitimate concerns of others. In pursuing their own development, countries should promote the common development of all and expand common interests among them. We should enhance South-South cooperation and North-South dialogue, promote balanced development of the developing and developed countries and consolidate the foundation for sustaining stable growth of the global economy. We need to work vigorously to create more cooperation opportunities, upgrade cooperation, and deliver more development dividends to our people and contribute more to global growth.

第四，堅持開放包容，為促進共同發(fā)展提供廣闊空間?！昂＜{百川，有容乃大。”我們應該尊重各國自主選擇社會制度和發(fā)展道路的權利，消除疑慮和隔閡，把世界多樣性和各國差異性轉(zhuǎn)化為發(fā)展活力和動力。我們要秉持開放精神，積極借鑒其他地區(qū)發(fā)展經(jīng)驗，共享發(fā)展資源，推進區(qū)域合作。進入新世紀10多年來，亞洲地區(qū)內(nèi)貿(mào)易額從8000億美元增長到3萬億美元，亞洲同世界其他地區(qū)貿(mào)易額從1.5萬億美元增長到4.8萬億美元，這表明亞洲合作是開放的，區(qū)域內(nèi)合作和同其他地區(qū)合作并行不悖，大家都從合作中得到了好處。亞洲應該歡迎域外國家為本地區(qū)穩(wěn)定和發(fā)展發(fā)揮建設性作用，同時，域外國家也應該尊重亞洲的多樣性特點和已經(jīng)形成的合作傳統(tǒng)，形成亞洲發(fā)展同其他地區(qū)發(fā)展良性互動、齊頭并進的良好態(tài)勢。

Fourth, we should remain open and inclusive so as to create broad space for enhancing common development. The ocean is vast because it admits hundreds of rivers. We should respect the right of a country to independently choose its social system and development path, remove distrust and misgivings and turn the diversity of our world and difference among countries into dynamism and driving force for development. We should keep an open mind, draw upon development practices of other continents, share development resources and promote regional cooperation. During the first decade and more of the new century, trade within Asia has increased from $800 billion to $3 trillion, and its trade with other regions has grown from $1.5 trillion to $4.8 trillion. This shows that cooperation in Asia is open and it goes hand in hand with Asia's cooperation with other regions, and everyone has benefited from such cooperation. Asia should welcome non-Asian countries to play a constructive role in ensuring stability and development of the region. Likewise, the non-Asian countries should respect Asia's diversity and its long-standing tradition of cooperation. This will create a dynamic environment in which Asia and other regions enjoy mutually reinforcing progress.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！中國是亞洲和世界大家庭的重要成員。中國發(fā)展離不開亞洲和世界，亞洲和世界繁榮穩(wěn)定也需要中國。

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Friends,

China is an important member of the Asian family and the global family. China cannot develop itself in isolation from the rest of Asia and the world. On their part, the rest of Asia and the world cannot enjoy prosperity and stability without China.

去年11月，中國共產(chǎn)黨召開了第十八次全國代表大會，明確了中國今后一個時期的發(fā)展藍圖。我們的奮斗目標是，到2020年國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值和城鄉(xiāng)居民人均收入在2010年的基礎上翻一番，全面建成小康社會；到本世紀中葉建成富強民主文明和諧的社會主義現(xiàn)代化國家，實現(xiàn)中華民族偉大復興的中國夢。展望未來，我們充滿信心。

In November last year, the Communist Party of China held its 18th National Congress, which drew the blueprint for China's development in the years to come. The main goals we set for China are as follows: By 2020, China's GDP and per capita incomes for urban and rural residents will double the 2010 figures, and the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects will be completed. By the mid-21st century, China will be turned into a modern socialist country that is prosperous, strong, democratic, culturally advanced and harmonious; and the Chinese dream, namely, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, will be realized. Looking ahead, we are full of confidence in China's future.

我們也認識到，中國依然是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國家，中國發(fā)展仍面臨著不少困難和挑戰(zhàn)，要使全體中國人民都過上美好生活，還需要付出長期不懈的努力。我們將堅持改革開放不動搖，牢牢把握轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟發(fā)展方式這條主線，集中精力把自己的事情辦好，不斷推進社會主義現(xiàn)代化建設。

On the other hand, we are aware that China remains the world's largest developing country, and it faces many difficulties and challenges on its road to progress. We need to make relentless efforts in the years ahead to deliver a better life to all our people. We are unwaveringly committed to reform and opening up, and we will concentrate on the major task of shifting the growth model, focus on running our own affairs well and make continued efforts to boost the socialist modernization drive.

“親望親好，鄰望鄰好。”中國將堅持與鄰為善、以鄰為伴，鞏固睦鄰友好，深化互利合作，努力使自身發(fā)展更好惠及周邊國家。

As a Chinese saying goes, neighbors wish each other well, just as loved ones do to each other. China will continue to promote friendship and partnership with its neighbors, consolidate friendly ties and deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with them and ensure that its development will bring even greater benefits to its neighbors.

我們將大力促進亞洲和世界發(fā)展繁榮。新世紀以來，中國同周邊國家貿(mào)易額由1000多億美元增至1.3萬億美元，已成為眾多周邊國家的最大貿(mào)易伙伴、最大出口市場、重要投資來源地。中國同亞洲和世界的利益融合達到前所未有的廣度和深度。當前和今后一個時期，中國經(jīng)濟將繼續(xù)保持健康發(fā)展勢頭，國內(nèi)需求特別是消費需求將持續(xù)擴大，對外投資也將大幅增加。據(jù)測算，今后5年，中國將進口10萬億美元左右的商品，對外投資規(guī)模將達到5000億美元，出境旅游有可能超過4億人次。中國越發(fā)展，越能給亞洲和世界帶來發(fā)展機遇。

China will vigorously promote development and prosperity in both Asia and the world. Since the beginning of the new century, China's trade with its neighbors has grown from $100 billion and more to $1.3 trillion. China has become the largest trading partner, the biggest export market and a major source of investment of many of these countries. China's interests have never been so closely connected with those of the rest of Asia and the world in both scope and depth. Going forward, China will maintain robust growth momentum. Its domestic demand, particularly consumption-driven demand, will continue to grow, and its outbound investment will increase substantially. It is projected that in the coming five years, China's import will reach some $10 trillion, its outbound investment will reach $500 billion and the number of its outbound tourists may well exceed 400 million. The more China grows itself, the more development opportunities it will create for the rest of Asia and the world.

我們將堅定維護亞洲和世界和平穩(wěn)定。中國人民對戰(zhàn)爭和動蕩帶來的苦難有著刻骨銘心的記憶，對和平有著孜孜不倦的追求。中國將通過爭取和平國際環(huán)境發(fā)展自己，又以自身發(fā)展維護和促進世界和平。中國將繼續(xù)妥善處理同有關國家的分歧和摩擦，在堅定捍衛(wèi)國家主權、安全、領土完整的基礎上，努力維護同周邊國家關系和地區(qū)和平穩(wěn)定大局。中國將在國際和地區(qū)熱點問題上繼續(xù)發(fā)揮建設性作用，堅持勸和促談，為通過對話談判妥善處理有關問題作出不懈努力。

We are firm in our resolve to uphold peace and stability in Asia and the world. Knowing too well the agonizing sufferings inflicted by war and turbulence, the Chinese people deeply cherish peace. China will continue to develop itself by securing a peaceful international environment and, at the same time, uphold and promote world peace through its own development. China will continue to properly handle differences and frictions with relevant countries. On the basis of firmly upholding its sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, China will maintain good relations with its neighbors and overall peace and stability in our region. China will continue to play a constructive role in addressing regional and global hotspot issues, encourage dialogue and talks for peace, and work tirelessly to solve the relevant issues properly through dialogue and negotiations.

我們將積極推動亞洲和世界范圍的地區(qū)合作。中國將加快同周邊地區(qū)的互聯(lián)互通建設，積極探討搭建地區(qū)性融資平臺，促進區(qū)域內(nèi)經(jīng)濟融合，提高地區(qū)競爭力。中國將積極參與亞洲區(qū)域合作進程，堅持推進同亞洲之外其他地區(qū)和國家的區(qū)域次區(qū)域合作。中國將繼續(xù)倡導并推動貿(mào)易和投資自由化便利化，加強同各國的雙向投資，打造合作新亮點。中國將堅定支持亞洲地區(qū)對其他地區(qū)的開放合作，更好促進本地區(qū)和世界其他地區(qū)共同發(fā)展。中國致力于縮小南北差距，支持發(fā)展中國家增強自主發(fā)展能力。

We will energetically promote regional cooperation in Asia and around the world. China will increase connectivity with its neighbors, actively explore the building of a regional financing platform, advance economic integration within the region and thus increase its competitiveness. China will take an active part in Asia's regional cooperation process and promote regional and sub-regional cooperation with non-Asian regions and countries. China will continue to champion and promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, step up bilateral investment with other countries and boost cooperation in new priority areas. China firmly supports Asia's opening up to and cooperation with other regions so as to promote their common development. China is committed to narrowing the North-South gap and supports other developing countries in their efforts to enhance capacity for self development.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！親仁善鄰，是中國自古以來的傳統(tǒng)。亞洲和世界和平發(fā)展、合作共贏的事業(yè)沒有終點，只有一個接一個的新起點。中國愿同五大洲的朋友們攜手努力，共同創(chuàng)造亞洲和世界的美好未來，造福亞洲和世界人民！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Friends,

Promoting good neighborliness is a time-honored tradition of China. To enhance peaceful development and win-win cooperation in Asia and the world is a race that has one starting point after another and knows no finishing line. We in China are ready to join hands with friends from across the world in a concerted effort to create a bright future for both Asia and the world and bring benefit to the Asian people and the people around the world.

最后，預祝年會取得圓滿成功！謝謝大家！

In conclusion, I wish the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2013 every success!
