The Eurasian continent is a beautiful and magical land with rich products, diverse landforms, numerous nationalities, diverse cultures, full of vitality and vitality. In the ancient Greek legend, this is the broad chest of the earth. As early as more than two thousand years ago, our ancestors crossed the mountain gorge and walked across the desert steppe, opening up a continent across the Eurasian continent. The Silk Road It has set up a bridge between the East and the West. Through this ancient road, a continuous stream of merchants has carried out trade in various commodities such as silk, porcelain, tea, precious stones and horses. Artisans and artisans have left countless artistic treasures and magnificent buildings on this road. The stories that once happened here are numerous and numerous. Xuan Zang's journey to the West and Marco Polo's travels to China have become the eternal good news that has been widely praised in the friendly exchanges between Asian and European countries.

Today, the world's multipolarization and economic globalization are developing in depth, and Asia Europe is accelerating development and strengthening itself. Political mutual trust has increased, trade and investment scale has expanded rapidly, various regional and sub regional cooperation has been developing vigorously. The influence of Shanghai cooperation organization, Arabia state alliance, Arabia Gulf Cooperation Committee and South Asian regional cooperation alliance is growing. The rapid development of a number of developing countries has become an important emerging force in the international arena, and has profoundly changed the political and economic structure of the world. Central Asia, Western Asia, South Asia, central and Eastern Europe and other regions show great vitality and potential. After being prime minister of the Chinese government, I visited many Asian and European countries and witnessed the rapid changes. The twenty-first Century is a century of great development, great change and great adjustment. It will also be a century of great development and cooperation between Asian and European countries.

China's relations with Asian and European countries have entered the best period in history and usher in a new summit of mutually beneficial cooperation. China has established good neighborly, friendly and cooperative relations with Central Asian countries, and successfully solved the boundary issue left over by history. Since the establishment of the SCO for 11 years, Member States, observer countries and dialogue partners have been increasing, and regional economic cooperation and security cooperation has achieved remarkable results. China and Arabia countries have established the Sino Arab Cooperation Forum, established a strategic dialogue mechanism with the GCC, and established a strategic partnership with India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. China and the central and Eastern European countries have successfully held the two Forum on economic and trade cooperation. Over the past 10 years, the total trade volume between China and Central Asia, Western Asia and South Asian countries has increased from US $25 billion 400 million to US $about 370000000000, with an average annual growth of 30.8%. Chinese enterprises have invested nearly 250 billion dollars in Asian and European countries, and signed about 470 billion contracts for construction contracts. The West Asian and Central Asian countries are China's most important energy partners, and the energy cooperation field extends from single import to exploration and design, refining and processing, storage and transportation, maintenance and other upstream and downstream industries. The construction of the Eurasian corridor has accelerated. The Sino Kazakhstan crude oil and natural gas pipelines have been put into operation. The second Sino Vietnamese railway lines have been integrated smoothly. The Sino Kyrgyzstan highway will soon be fully connected, and the interconnected network of roads, railways, aviation, communications, oil and gas pipelines will be formed.

The development of Asian and European countries and the close relationship between them not only bring real benefits to the people of the region, but also promote world peace and stability. Practice has proved that as long as Asian and European countries adhere to mutual respect, mutual trust, tolerance and cooperation, and sincere cooperation, they are fully capable of grasping their destiny and achieving the goal of development and revitalization.

Ladies and gentlemen,

The world is undergoing profound and complex historical changes. Asian and European countries are faced with rare opportunities for development and cooperation, and also face many severe challenges. In particular, the international financial crisis has lasted for 4 years. The recovery of the world economy is difficult and tortuous, bringing difficulties to the economic and social development of Asian and European countries. The task of promoting development, getting rid of poverty and improving people's livelihood is urgent and arduous. We should further expand mutually beneficial cooperation in various fields with stronger determination and stronger measures to enhance the endogenous driving force for the development of the region and better benefit the peoples of Asia and Europe.

First, strengthen political mutual trust and maintain regional peace and stability. The history of Asia and Europe is ravaged by war. We know better than anyone the value of peace. Without a peaceful and stable environment, nothing can be said of it. China advocates that regional affairs be independently decided by the region, the state and the people, and supports all countries to take the road of development that is in line with their national conditions.

All parties should abide by the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations, resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation, and oppose external interference. We should strengthen communication and coordination and make unremitting efforts to safeguard regional peace and stability.
