絲綢之路經(jīng)濟帶:?

Silk Road Economic Belt

The Silk Road first emerged?more than 2,100 years ago during the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 24) after China's imperial envoy Zhang Qian twice visited Central Asia. It became a bridge between East and West, opening the door to friendly engagement between China and Central Asia. For?two millennia, countless tales of everlasting friendship between peoples have been?woven into this ancient network.

2100多年前，中國漢代的張騫兩次出使中亞，開啟了中國同中亞各國友好交往的大門，開辟出一條橫貫東西、連接歐亞的絲綢之路。千百年來，在這條古老的絲綢之路上，各國人民共同譜寫出千古傳誦的友好篇章。

In a speech at Kazakhstan's Nazarbayev University on September 7, 2013, President Xi Jinping proposed building a new Silk Road Economic Belt to expand Eurasian economic cooperation. An innovative cooperative?approach?was outlined, starting with individual projects that are expected to help spur larger-scale regional cooperative development. The proposed economic belt is considered the longest economic corridor in the world – and?potentially the most dynamic –?connecting?the Asia-Pacific region in the East?with?developed European economies in the West.

為了使歐亞各國經(jīng)濟聯(lián)系更加緊密、相互合作更加深入、發(fā)展空間更加廣闊，2013年9月7日，習(xí)近平主席在哈薩克斯坦納扎爾巴耶夫大學(xué)發(fā)表演講時提出，用創(chuàng)新的合作模式，共同建設(shè)“絲綢之路經(jīng)濟帶”，以點帶面，從線到片，逐步形成區(qū)域大合作。絲綢之路經(jīng)濟帶東邊牽著亞太經(jīng)濟圈，西邊系著發(fā)達的歐洲經(jīng)濟圈，被認為是“世界上最長、最具有發(fā)展?jié)摿Φ慕?jīng)濟大走廊”。

21世紀海上絲綢之路：

21st Century Maritime Silk Road

Formed during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221 BC-AD 220), the Maritime Silk Road has always?played an important role?in economic and cultural exchanges between East and West. And Southeast Asia has always been a?nexus?of this interaction.

自秦漢時期開通以來，海上絲綢之路一直是溝通東西方經(jīng)濟文化交流的重要橋梁。東南亞地區(qū)自古以來就是海上絲綢之路的重要樞紐和組成部分。

On the occasion of the 10th Anniversary of the China-ASEAN Strategic Partnership, President Xi Jinping proposed jointly building a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in his speech to the Indonesian parliament on October 3, 2013. The initiative aims to boost China-ASEAN maritime cooperation and forge closer ties?in a community with a shared future.

在中國與東盟建立戰(zhàn)略伙伴十周年之際，為了進一步加強雙方的海上合作，發(fā)展雙方的海洋合作伙伴關(guān)系，構(gòu)建更加緊密的命運共同體，2013年10月3日，習(xí)近平主席在印度尼西亞國會發(fā)表演講時提出，共同建設(shè)“21世紀海上絲綢之路”。

It calls for joint efforts across the region and beyond. Starting with the launch of individual projects that are expected to help spur a wider range of cooperative activities, it envisions a network of interconnected markets linking the ASEAN, South Asia, West Asia, North Africa, and Europe, and a strategic partnership for the South China Sea and the Pacific and Indian oceans.

21世紀海上絲綢之路的戰(zhàn)略合作伙伴并不僅限與東盟，而是以點帶線，以線帶面，串起連通東盟、南亞、西亞、北非、歐洲等各大經(jīng)濟板塊的市場鏈，發(fā)展面向南海、太平洋和印度洋的戰(zhàn)略合作經(jīng)濟帶。
