Qingdao, June 10, 2018
尊敬的各位同事：
Dear colleagues,
六月的青岛，风景如画。在这美好的时节，欢迎大家来到这里，出席上海合作组织成员国元首理事会第十八次会议。早在2500多年前，中国古代伟大的思想家孔子就说：“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？”今天，孔子的故乡山东喜迎远道而来的各方贵宾，我们在这里共商上海合作组织发展大计，具有特殊意义。
In this lovely season of June, I am delighted to welcome all of you to the picturesque city of Qingdao for the 18th meeting of the Council of Heads of Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). Over 2,500 years ago, Confucius, the great Chinese philosopher, had this to say: “What a joy to have friends coming from afar!” It is therefore of special significance that I host my distinguished guests in Shandong, the home province of Confucius, for a summit that will chart the future course for the SCO.
再过5天，上海合作组织将迎来17岁生日。抚今追昔，本组织走过了不平凡的发展历程，取得了重大成就。
In five days, the SCO will celebrate its 17th birthday, an occasion for us to review our organization’s remarkable journey and important achievements.
17年来，我们以《上海合作组织宪章》、《上海合作组织成员国长期睦邻友好合作条约》为遵循，构建起不结盟、不对抗、不针对第三方的建设性伙伴关系。这是国际关系理论和实践的重大创新，开创了区域合作新模式，为地区和平与发展作出了新贡献。
Over the past 17 years, guided by the SCO Charter and the Treaty on Long-Term Good-Neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation Between the Member States of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, we have forged a constructive partnership featuring non-alliance, non-confrontation and not targeting any third party. In doing so, we have achieved a major breakthrough in the theories and practices of international relations, created a new model for regional cooperation, and made new contribution to peace and development in our region.
今天，上海合作组织是世界上幅员最广、人口最多的综合性区域合作组织，成员国的经济和人口总量分别约占全球的20%和40%。上海合作组织拥有4个观察员国、6个对话伙伴，并同联合国等国际和地区组织建立了广泛的合作关系，国际影响力不断提升，已经成为促进世界和平与发展、维护国际公平正义不可忽视的重要力量。
Today, the SCO stands as a comprehensive regional cooperation organization that covers the largest area and population in the world. Its members account for about 20 percent of the global economy and 40 percent of its population. The SCO has four observer states and six dialogue partners as well as extensive cooperation linkages with the United Nations and other international and regional organizations. With its ever-rising international influence, the SCO has become an important force for promoting global peace and development and upholding international justice and fairness.
上海合作组织始终保持旺盛生命力、强劲合作动力，根本原因在于它创造性地提出并始终践行“上海精神”，主张互信、互利、平等、协商、尊重多样文明、谋求共同发展。这超越了文明冲突、冷战思维、零和博弈等陈旧观念，掀开了国际关系史崭新的一页，得到国际社会日益广泛的认同。
The SCO enjoys strong vitality and momentum of cooperation. This, in the final analysis, is attributed to the Shanghai Spirit, a creative vision initiated and followed through by the SCO that champions mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality, consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development. The Shanghai Spirit, transcending outdated concepts such as clash of civilizations, Cold War and zero-sum mentality, has opened a new page in the history of international relations and gained increasing endorsement of the international community.
各位同事！
Dear colleagues,
“孔子登东山而小鲁，登泰山而小天下”。面对世界大发展大变革大调整的新形势，为更好推进人类文明进步事业，我们必须登高望远，正确认识和把握世界大势和时代潮流。
Mencius, another ancient Chinese philosopher, aptly observed, “When Confucius looks down from the peak of the Dongshan Mountain, the local Kingdom of Lu comes into view; when he looks down from the peak of Mount Tai, the whole land comes into view.” At a time when the world is undergoing major developments, transformation and adjustment, we must aim high and look far, and keep pace with the underlying trend of both the world and our times to push for more progress of human civilization.
尽管当今世界霸权主义和强权政治依然存在，但推动国际秩序朝着更加公正合理方向发展的呼声不容忽视，国际关系民主化已成为不可阻挡的时代潮流。
While hegemony and power politics still persist in this world, the growing call for a more just and equitable international order must be heeded. Democracy in international relations has become an unstoppable trend of the times.
尽管各种传统和非传统安全威胁不断涌现，但捍卫和平的力量终将战胜破坏和平的势力，安全稳定是人心所向。
While various traditional and non-traditional security threats keep emerging, the force for peace will prevail, for security and stability are what people long for.
尽管单边主义、贸易保护主义、逆全球化思潮不断有新的表现，但“地球村”的世界决定了各国日益利益交融、命运与共，合作共赢是大势所趋。
While unilateralism, trade protectionism and backlash against globalization are taking new forms, in this global village of ours where countries’ interests and future are so interconnected, the pursuit of cooperation for mutual benefit represents a surging trend.
尽管文明冲突、文明优越等论调不时沉渣泛起，但文明多样性是人类进步的不竭动力，不同文明交流互鉴是各国人民共同愿望。
While we keep hearing such rhetoric as the clash of civilizations or the superiority of one civilization over another, it is the diversity of civilizations that sustains human progress. Indeed, mutual learning between different cultures is a shared aspiration of all peoples.
各位同事！
