Message on Africa Industrialization Day

　　非洲工業(yè)化日致辭

　　Industrialization is a primary driver of economic growth and job creation, and will be pivotal in efforts to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Africa Union’s Agenda 2063.

　　工業(yè)化是實(shí)現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)和創(chuàng)造就業(yè)的原動(dòng)力，也將在落實(shí)《2030年可持續(xù)發(fā)展議程》和非洲聯(lián)盟《2063年議程》方面起到關(guān)鍵作用。

　　This year’s Africa Industrialization Day highlights the links between industrial development and Africa’s moves towards establishing a Continental Free Trade Area.

　　今年非洲工業(yè)化日的宣傳重點(diǎn)是，工業(yè)發(fā)展與建立非洲自由貿(mào)易區(qū)進(jìn)程的聯(lián)系。

　　These are mutually supportive endeavours. Strategic investments in cross-border infrastructure will advance both trade and industrial capacity. Promoting green technologies and low-carbon solutions can create compelling opportunities for increased commerce and industrialization alike.

　　這些舉措具有較大的互補(bǔ)性。對(duì)跨界基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的戰(zhàn)略投資將促進(jìn)貿(mào)易，提高工業(yè)產(chǎn)能。推廣綠色技術(shù)和低碳工藝，將同時(shí)為擴(kuò)大貿(mào)易規(guī)模和實(shí)現(xiàn)工業(yè)化帶來(lái)寶貴的機(jī)會(huì)。

　　Small and medium enterprises, which already contribute 80 per cent of the continent’s Gross Domestic Product and support 90 per cent of all jobs, will remain key actors. Governments, business and civil society will need to forge partnerships to spur innovation and create incentives to power sustainable growth.

　　中小企業(yè)為非洲貢獻(xiàn)了80%的GDP，占就業(yè)總量的90%，并將繼續(xù)成為非洲經(jīng)濟(jì)的中堅(jiān)力量。政府、企業(yè)和民間社會(huì)應(yīng)加強(qiáng)伙伴關(guān)系，鼓勵(lì)創(chuàng)新，出臺(tái)優(yōu)惠措施，為可持續(xù)增長(zhǎng)提供動(dòng)力。

　　It will also be critical to unleash the capacities of Africa’s young people and to strengthen African institutions. Both the 2030 Agenda and Agenda 2063 recognize these imperatives.

　　同樣，必須發(fā)掘非洲青年的潛能，加強(qiáng)非洲的機(jī)制�！�2030年議程》和《2063年議程》明確認(rèn)為，這是非洲的當(dāng)務(wù)之急。

　　On Africa Industrialization Day, I reaffirm the continued strong commitment of the United Nations to support Africa’s industrialization, the implementation of a continental free trade agreement, and the building of inclusive, resilient, peaceful and prosperous societies for all.

　　值此非洲工業(yè)化日，我謹(jǐn)重申，聯(lián)合國(guó)將一如既往地大力支持非洲工業(yè)化進(jìn)程，落實(shí)非洲自由貿(mào)易區(qū)協(xié)定，為全體非洲人民建設(shè)一個(gè)包容、堅(jiān)韌、和平與繁榮的社會(huì)。
