中国驻新西兰兼驻库克群岛、纽埃特命全权大使王小龙阁下致辞道：

Hon Greg O’Conor, Deputy Speaker of the New Zealand Parliament

Mme Li Fen, President of Huaxing Arts Troupe

Distinguished Guests,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Tena koto，tena koto, tena koto katua!

Good evening!

It gives me great pleasure to attend the Cultures of China · Huaxing Gala Night to celebrate the 73rd Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 50th Anniversary of China-New Zealand relations. I would like to express my warm congratulations to Huaxing Arts Troupe on organizing the gala night.

 

This is the first year of my term in New Zealand and it is the first time for me to celebrate China’s National Day in the southern hemisphere. While it’s autumn back in China and a time for harvest, it is spring here in NZ and a time for hope and new beginnings. The sentiments are somewhat different. But, both fit in well with what we do here today, celebrating what we have achieved and looking ahead further for both China and New Zealand and the relationship between our two countries.  

 

Let me start with my hope for a brighter future of China’s development and progress. In the past 73 years, China has gone through remarkable transformations,  resulting in constant improvement in people’s lives, and contributing at the same time to world peace, stability, and prosperity. In about 3 weeks, the Communist Party of China will convene its 20th National Congress to chart the course of China’s development in the next five to ten years and beyond, which will stand China in good stead to realize its people’s aspirations for a better life and to make greater contribution to building a global community with a shared future.  

 

Now, turning to my hope for the further development of China-New Zealand relations for the next 50 years. On the face of it, China and New Zealand cannot be more different. But scratching the surface, you will find that we have much more in common. More importantly, the two sides have been able to transcend the differences there are, and have created many firsts in the past 50 years, enabling our relationship to have grown exponentially and generated tangible benefits for our two countries, particularly our two peoples. With mutually complementary economies, as long as we continue nurturing our relations carefully and adhere to the principles of mutual respect, mutual understanding, and mutual benefit, we shall see further growth in our exchanges and cooperation, taking our Comprehensive Strategic Partnership to higher levels.

 

As the Chinese saying goes, one flower does not spring make. We would know that spring has arrived when the field blossoms. I am deeply impressed since my arrival with the rich and dynamic multicultural scene in New Zealand. And, I am also glad that people of Chinese descendant and heritage as one of the biggest, if not the biggest diaspora in the country, have taken deep roots here and integrated themselves into the local communities, making major contributions to the economic and social development of New Zealand. In this process, the Chinese culture has become an essential part of New Zealand multicultural mosaic. Similarly, as a united multi-ethnic country, China is committed to promoting solidarity amidst diversity, and common development of its people of all ethnic groups. The “Amazing Xinjiang Photo Exhibition” launched today is meant to open a small window on progress made in Xijiang along those lines. Seeing is believing. You are all welcome to visit Xinjiang and see for yourselves the beautiful landscape, the vibrant culture, and above all the friendly and happy people there. 

 

Ladies and gentlemen,

People-to-people engagement is what underpins a robust China-New Zealand partnership, the long-term and sustainable development of which depends on the joint efforts of both sides. I look forward to working with you and all friends in New Zealand to deepen mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation between our two countries and peoples.

 

With this, I wish the gala night a great success. Ngā mihi.

 

王小龙大使表示，很荣幸能受邀参加今年《文化中国•魅力华星》迎国庆•庆中新建交50周年文艺晚会，这是他到新西兰就任大使第一年，也是第一次在南半球庆祝国庆节。北半球是丰收的季节，南半球是展望的季节，这两种心境都适合庆祝中新推动双边关系发展所取得的成就和展望两国关系的未来。

新中国建国73年来实现了天翻地覆的变革，在大幅提高人民生活水平的同时致力于世界和平、安定和繁荣发展。中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会即将举行，为中国未来5-10年乃至更长时间的发展制定方向。

在中新关系方面，过去50年里，我们求同存异，互惠互利，创造了很多“第一”，两国关系获得指数级快速发展。中新经济高度互补，只要我们继续本着互相尊重、理解和互利共赢的原则，小心呵护我们的友好关系，两国合作和交流将继续发展，中新全面战略合作伙伴关系将更上一层楼。

中国有句古语，一花独放不是春，百花齐放春满园。来到新西兰之后，王大使被这里富有活力的多元文化所深深吸引，很开心看到华人华侨在新落地生根，融入当地社会，为新西兰经济社会发展做出重大贡献，中华文化成为了新西兰多元文化拼图的重要组成部分。同样的，作为一个多民族国家，中国也支持文化融合和民族团结，保障各少数民族的合法权益和利益，维护和发展各民族的平等、团结、互助关系。今晚举办的大美新疆摄影展，从一个侧面反映了中国多民族团结统一、融合发展的生动局面。百闻不如一见，欢迎大家到新疆实地走一走，看一看，亲身感受一下美丽的风光，生机勃勃的文化以及生活幸福、热情好客的人民。

民心相通是中新两国伙伴关系长期可持续发展的基石，这需要我们双方共同努力而达成。他期待与新西兰所有的朋友们共同努力，加深两国和两国人们之间的互相了解、友谊与合作。

最后，预祝晚会圆满成功！
