Dear Friends,
大家上午好！
Good morning!
我非常高兴出席今天的中国援东帝汶数字电视地面传输系统项目开工仪式。首先，请允许我代表中华人民共和国政府向东政府和人民，对该项目的顺利开工表示热烈祝贺！今天是一个值得庆祝的日子，因为这一项目的成功启动，标志着东将很快拥有自己的数字电视系统，这将极大改善东人民精神文化生活，推进东广电传媒能力建设，进一步加深两国了解和友谊。该项目在中东广电传媒领域合作史上，是一座重要的里程碑。
It is a real delight to join you the Commencement Ceremony of the China-aided Digital Television Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) Demonstration Project in Timor-Leste. First of all, please allow me, on behalf of the Chinese government, to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Timor-Leste and its people on the commencement of the project. Today is a day worth celebrating, because the lunching of the project marks that Timor-Leste will soon have its own DTMB system. This will greatly improve the culture life and entertainment of Timor-Leste people, enhance the capacity building of media and social communications in Timor-Leste, and further strengthen bilateral understanding and friendship between our two countries. The project is a milestone in the media and social communications cooperation between our two countries.
今天，该项目的正式开工建设深深凝聚了两国政府和人民的心血和情谊，来之不易。自2014年1月东第三届宪法政府传媒国秘向中方提出援建该项目的请求至今，已有5年时间，历经东6届政府，中方大使也轮换了3任。虽东方历经政府更迭、人员变动，但中方承诺没有变，中东传统友谊也没有变。在两国政府和人民不懈努力和大力推动下，今年该项目前期工作取得了积极进展。今年3月，我和东传媒国秘阿卡拉阁下共同签署了该项目的实施协议。今天，我们欢聚一堂，共同庆祝该项目顺利开工。
This project is also the fruit of friendship between our two countries and people, it witnessed the committed efforts we spared together. It has been 5 years since the Secretary of State for Social Communications of the Ⅲ Constitutional Government of Timor-Leste proposed this project to the Chinese government in January 2014. It witnessed 6 Timorese Governments and 3 Chinese Ambassadors. Through the years, though Timor-Leste has experienced changes of governments and the persons concerned, the China-Timor-Leste friendship always keeps the same and China has been consistent in its promise. With the constant and vigorous efforts from our two sides, this year, positive development has been achieved in this project. In March, Mr. “Akara” and I signed the Implementation Agreement for the Project. Today, we gather here to celebrate the unveiling of the project.
东政府重视广电传媒发展，不断提高传媒软硬件技术水平和新闻报道质量。东媒体正日益成为世界深入观察和了解东的重要窗口。我希望东媒体继续保持报道的客观性和真实性，多报道中国、多宣传中资企业机构在创造就业机会、造福当地民众、促进东社会经济发展等方面所做出的贡献。媒体在两国学习互鉴、增进了解等方面有着重要的作用。我希望东媒体可以发挥这一优势，为进一步深化两国友好关系，推动双边务实合作呐喊助威。
Timor-Lest government put great efforts to develop media and social communications. The media software and hardware technology as well as journalistic quality have been constantly improved. Timorese media is becoming an important window for the world to observe and understand Timor-Leste. I hope that Timor-Leste media will keep objective and authentic in reporting, as well as more coverage about China and the works done by the Chinese enterprises and institutions here, who have created many job opportunities for the Timor-Leste, benefited local people, and contributed greatly to the economic and social development of Timor-Leste. Media plays a very important role in learning from each other and enhancing mutual understanding. I hope, through the media`s role, the China-Timor-leste friendship and practical cooperation will be further developed.
该项目启动以来，中方团队得到了东历届政府各部门特别是传媒国秘处的大力支持和帮助，我在这里一并表示感谢。今后，我们仍需要你们的支持与合作。项目管理单位北京数字电视国家工程实验室有限公司和项目总承包单位中国普天信息产业股份有限公司都是首次进入东市场。我希望两家企业尽快熟悉当地环境，继续发扬吃苦耐劳、诚实守信的作风，合规合法经营，按照实施协议进一步加强与东相关各方合作，保质保量按时完成交付给你们的光荣任务。同时，两家公司也要积极履行企业社会责任，多雇请当地员工并做好技术培训，毫无保留、全心全意地与东帝汶政府和人民分享中国数字电视标准、技术和经验。
Since the beginning of the project, the Chinese team has been supported and helped by the successive governments especially the Secretary of State for Social Communications. I would like to take this chance to thank you all. We still depend on your support and cooperation in the future. Both the National Engineering Laboratory for Digital TV (Bei Jing) and the China Potevio Co., Ltd. are new to Timor-Leste. I hope that both can soon adapt to the new environment, be hard-working and trustworthy, operate according to the local rules and laws, cooperate closely with relevant Timor-Leste departments according the Implementation Agreement, and accomplish the great mission with high quality on time. In mean time, I also hope that both companies take on their social responsibilities, have more local employees and train them, share Chinese DTMB standard, technology and experiences with Timor-Leste government and people unreservedly and wholeheartedly.
女士们，先生们，
Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
我们知道，中东友谊源远流长。东恢复独立伊始，两国即建立了外交关系。今年是两国建交17周年。17年来，两国关系全面快速发展，政治互信不断加深，在经贸、传媒、农业、卫生等各领域的互利合作持续深化，为两国人民带来了实实在在的利益。中东关系堪称大小国家平等相待、友好合作、互利共赢的典范。中国6年前提出“一带一路”倡议，吸引了包括东在内越来越多的国家积极参与。今年4月，第二届 “一带一路”国际合作高峰论坛在京举行，东前总统、前总理、海洋边界事务首席谈判代表夏纳纳阁下出席论坛并发表重要讲话。会议期间，他与中国外交部副部长孔铉佑和部分驻东中资机构北京总部进行了会谈。我希望，也相信随着两国高层交往和各领域务实不断深化，中东关系必将迈向一个新高度。
We know that, China and Timor-leste enjoy a long-standing and well-established friendship. Upon the restoration of Timor-Leste’s independence on 20th May, 2002, China established diplomatic relations with Timor-Leste. This year marks the 17th anniversary of the establishment of China-Timor-Leste diplomatic ties. Over the past 17 years, the bilateral relations have developed rapidly in an all-round manner; political trust has been continuously deepened; mutually beneficial cooperation in areas such as economy, media and social communications, agriculture and health has been steadily strengthened, therefore, bringing concrete and tangible benefits to people of our two countries. The China Timor-Leste relations can serve as an example of equal treatment, friendliness and win-win cooperation among all nations, large and small. 6 years ago, China proposed the “Belt and Road” Initiative that has attracted more and more active participants including Timor-Leste. In April, 2019, his Excellency, the former President and former Prime Minister, the Chief Negotiator for Maritime Boundaries, Mr. Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão attended the Second “Belt and Road” Forum for International Cooperation held in Beijing and delivered an important speech. During the forum, he had meetings with the Chinese vice foreign minister H.E. Mr. Kong Xuanyou, and some Chinese enterprise headquarters. I hope and I am sure that with the continuing high level exchanges between our two countries and the practical cooperation in different sectors, our bilateral relations will reach a new high.
目前，国际局势正发生深刻复杂变化，中东两国都处于经济社会发展关键时期，中方有意愿也有能力与东方开展全方位、多领域合作，互利共赢，共同发展。今后，中方愿继续支持东方基础设施和民生项目建设，不断提高东人民的福利，不断增强东人民的获得感和幸福感。
The world is now in the midst of profound and complex changes, both China and Timor-Leste are in an important period for development. China is willing and able to carry out comprehensive cooperation in different areas with Timor-Lest to achieve mutual development and win-win result. China is also willing to continue its support to the infrastructure and livelihood projects in Timor-Leste so as to contribute to the well-being of Timor-Leste people and improve their sense of fulfillment and happiness.
最后，我希望，在我们的共同努下，这一中国援建项目取得圆满成功，祝愿东人民幸福国家繁荣，祝愿中东两国友谊万古长青。
In the end, again I hope this China-aided project a success under our joint effort; I hope the Timoreses a happier and more prosperous life; and I hope the friendship between our two countries long-lasting.
谢谢大家！
Thank you!
