第11章 I Have a Dream (6)(3 / 3)

globalization

and

the

information

network

have

linked

us

all

together.

Different

cultures

live

together

and

influence

each

other.

No

culture

can

flourish

in

isolation.

How

much

a

country

or

a

nation

contributes

to

the

culture

of

humanity

is

increasingly

determined

by

her

ability

to

absorb

foreign

cultures

and

renew

herself.That

is

why

China

will

remain

open

and

receptive,value

her

own

traditions

while

drawing

on

others’

successful

experience,and

achieve

economic

prosperity

and

social

progress

in

a

civilized

and

harmonious

way.

Ladies

and

Gentlemen,

Britain

is

the

last

leg

of

my

European

trip.

I

have

gained

a

deeper

understanding

of

Europe

through

this

visit.

China-EU

cooperation

is

now

standing

at

a

new

historical

starting

point

and

I

am

all

the

more

confident

about

the

China-EU

comprehensive

strategic

partnership.

There

are

no

outstanding

issues

left

over

from

history

or

conflict

of

fundamental

interests

between

the

two

sides.

What

we

have

is

a

solid

foundation

and

a

bright

future

for

cooperation.

As

the

first

industrialized

country,Britain

has

accumulated

rich

experience

in

economic

development

and

environmental

protection.

We

hope

to

learn

from

your

experience

and

strengthen

exchanges

and

cooperation

with

you.
