進(jìn)入新世紀(jì)，國際形勢繼續(xù)發(fā)生深刻復(fù)雜的變化。世界多極化和經(jīng)濟(jì)全球化災(zāi)曲折中發(fā)展�？萍歼M(jìn)步日新月異，我們既面臨著必須抓住的發(fā)展機(jī)遇，也面臨著必須認(rèn)真應(yīng)付的嚴(yán)峻挑戰(zhàn)，盡管當(dāng)今世界還存在著這樣那樣的矛盾和利益沖突，不確定、不穩(wěn)定因素有所增加，但和平與發(fā)展仍是當(dāng)今時代的主題，世界要和平、國家要發(fā)展、人民要合作是不可阻擋的歷史潮流。
In the new century, the international situation has continued to undergo profound and complicated changes. World multipolarization and economic globalization are progressing amid twists and turns. Science and technology are advancing with each passing day. We have before us both development opportunities that we must seize and grave challenges that we must deal with seriously. Despite the widespread conflicts and clashes of interests and increasing numbers of factors of uncertainty and instability in the world today, peace and development remain the overriding themes of the times. The world needs peace, countries desire development and people want cooperation. This has become an irresistible trend of history.
當(dāng)前亞洲形勢總體穩(wěn)定，和平、發(fā)展、合作已成為前進(jìn)中亞洲的主流。經(jīng)過共同努力，亞洲有關(guān)國家擺脫了金融危機(jī)的陰影，戰(zhàn)勝了非典和禽流感疫情的沖擊，經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)調(diào)整取得成效，產(chǎn)業(yè)升級換代步伐加快，區(qū)域合作方興未艾，抗御風(fēng)險能力不斷增強(qiáng)。亞洲仍然是全球最具發(fā)展活力的地區(qū)之一，也繼續(xù)是全球貿(mào)易的重要增長點之一。我們對亞洲的發(fā)展前景充滿信心。
At present, Asia, on the whole, enjoys stability, with peace, development and cooperation becoming the mainstream of an advancing Asia. With concerted efforts, relevant Asian countries have freed themselves from the shadow of the financial crisis, overcome the impact of SARS and bird flu, succeeded in economic restructuring, quickened the tempo of industrial upgrading and transformation, promoted a robust regional cooperation, and increased the capacity to tide over potential risks. Asia has retained its position as one of the world's most dynamic regions and a key growth point in global trade. We are full of confidence in the future of Asia's development.
