2023年5月16日
女士们、先生们、朋友们！
我很高兴出席今天的活动。
2022年10月，中国共产党召开了第二十次全国代表大会，明确了中国式现代化是走和平发展道路的现代化。今年 3 月，中国产生了新一届国家机构和领导人员。中国经济将以高质量发展为目标，通过不断深化改革开放，释放消费市场的巨大能量，为包括瑞典在内的全球企业带来更多商机。
中瑞两国均坚定支持贸易自由化，双方开展务实合作具有坚实基础和广阔前景。瑞典是中国在欧盟重要贸易伙伴，是第三大投资目的地，第二大技术引进来源国。2022年，中瑞双边货物贸易总额连续两年突破 200 亿美元，特别是双向投资快速增长：据中方统计，2022年瑞典对华投资5.4亿美元，同比增长79.9%，中国对瑞投资10.5亿美元，同比增长75.9%。近年来，中方企业来瑞合作越来越多，在新能源、电动汽车、现代农业、生物医药、港口等基础设施建设等领域均取得不少成果。随着中国放开签证申请政策、增加瑞典赴华航班，中瑞经贸交流和人员往来将更加便利。我们期待中瑞双方拓展合作内涵、挖掘合作潜力、共享中国高质量发展带来的新机遇。中国驻哥德堡总领馆愿同瑞方一道，为中瑞企业发展合作创造良好氛围，并积极提供便利，推动双方互利合作再上新台阶。
最后，祝深圳港与哥德堡港的合作取得丰硕成果！
Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen：
It’s my pleasure to attend this important ceremony today.
In October 2022, China's Communist Party held its 20th Party Congress, which made it clear that Chinese path to modernization is the modernization of peaceful development. In March of this year, The National People's Congress of China elected a new session of State Institutions and their leaders. It was settled, that in the New Era for China, Chinese economy will aim at high-quality development. Through continuous deepening of Reform and Opening-up, huge consumption capacity of the Chinese market will be released, more business opportunities will be brought to global companies including the Swedish ones. In short, the roadmap is on the table, the future for our cooperation is promising.
Both China and Sweden support trade liberalization firmly. The cooperation between China and Sweden has a solid foundation and broad prospects. Sweden is an important trading partner of China in the EU. It's China's third largest investment destination among EU countries and the second largest origin country of technology import to China. In 2022, for two years in a row, the bilateral trade scale has exceeded 20 billion US dollars. I will especially mention the rapid growth of mutual investment: According to Chinese statistics, in 2022, Sweden invested 540 million US dollars to China , a year-on-year increase of 79.9%. China invested 1050 million US dollars to Sweden , a year-on-year increase of 75.9%. In recent years, more and more Chinese enterprises come to Sweden for cooperation, we have achieved a lot in wide range fields such as new energy, electric vehicles, modern agriculture, biomedicine and infrastructure construction. With the end of COVID-19 pandemic, China’s visa application policy fully restored to 2019, and the direct flights between Beijing and Stockholm increased to 3 times a week. Thus makes the Sino-Swedish economic and trade cooperation and people to people exchanges even more convenient. We expect China and Sweden to continue expand the content of cooperation, tap the potential of cooperation, share the new opportunities brought by China's high-quality development. The Chinese Consulate-General in Gothenburg is willing to work with Sweden side to create a friendly environment for both sides' companies, and actively provide convenience to promote the mutually beneficial cooperation between our two sides to a new level.
Finally, I wish the cooperation between Shenzhen Port and Port of Gothenburg achieve fruitful results, and our friendship forever!
Thank you!
