中澳青年应携手共创美好未来

王晰宁临时代办在第十四届中澳青年领袖发展峰会开幕式上的致辞

       1月15日,王晰宁临时代办在线出席第十四届中澳青年领袖发展峰会。该峰会由中澳青年联合会主办,来自北京、上海、成都、堪培拉、悉尼、墨尔本、布里斯班等地高校、企业、政府部门、智库、律师事务所等各界的近百名中国和澳大利亚青年代表参加,就中澳间教育、贸易、新技术发展、国际健康事业和中澳关系未来等一系列议题展开热烈讨论。本次峰会预计将覆盖约6000名中澳青年。王代办在开幕式上发表致辞,全文如下:

亲爱的青年朋友们,

    我代表中国驻澳大利亚使馆,对中澳青年联合会举办第十四届中澳青年领袖发展峰会表示衷心的祝贺!我也非常高兴在这个场合与大家分享一些想法。

    我们每个人都能感受到世界正在发生变化。

    新冠疫情对我们的生活产生了巨大影响,引发我们对一些传统观念新的思考,比如正常生活应该是什么样,健康和医疗服务对社会有多么重要,我们是否可以凭一己之力应对全球危机,政府应该在多大程度上干预我们的日常生活,我们如何提高对突发事件的应对处置能力。

    我们在世界每个角落感受到了厄尔尼诺现象。去年,在格拉斯哥气候峰会上,几乎所有国家都承诺将致力于减少排放和低碳发展。那么,我们应该怎样做才能使自己适应这种新思维模式和新生活方式呢?

    当今世界存在着各种紧张局势,比如有些国家之间存在各种各样的冲突,有的地方贫富差距日渐扩大,各国对未来发展的模式和路径有不少分歧,人们对如何平衡个人自由和集体利益的看法日趋极化,等等。

    与此同时,我们也看到,全球科技发展日新月异。人工智能、量子计算、3D打印、生物科学、新材料、大规模高速交通运输、太空和海洋探索等技术在蓬勃发展。这些新兴技术如能善加利用,将使人类生活更加充满活力、智能化、可持续、和谐美好。

    那么开启更加美好未来、抵御各种风险挑战的“钥匙”在哪里呢? 

    它在你们手中。青年是世界的未来,是人类的希望。

    但面向未来,大家不能坐享其成。因为你们将面临的挑战将比我们这一代所遇到的更加严峻复杂,你们必须比我们更加善于应对挑战,必须超越我们。

    中国年轻一代正面临着严峻复杂的挑战。去年,我们热烈庆祝中国共产党成立一百周年,实现了第一个百年奋斗目标,全面建成了小康社会,历史性地解决了绝对贫困问题。今年,我们顺利开启全面建设社会主义现代化国家、向第二个百年奋斗目标进军新征程。在这个新征程上,同样充满艰难险阻。

    澳大利亚年轻一代也将面对类似挑战。澳大利亚需要跟上全球发展的步伐,继续保持强劲的经济发展势头,不断推进科技发展,为人类和其他物种提供适宜生存环境,建设一个真正的多元文化和开放包容的社会。

    如果中澳两国年轻一代能够成为朋友和伙伴,我们将共同开创美好的未来。

    实际上,自从两个世纪前中国移民第一次踏上澳洲大陆,中澳两国人民已成为朋友。自从五十年前中华人民共和国和澳大利亚联邦建立外交关系,我们已成为合作伙伴。

    中澳之间的交流与合作造福了两国和两国人民,也造福了地区和世界其他国家。

    在今后50年甚至更长久的时间里,继续保持中澳关系发展势头,是你们年轻一代人的职责和使命。

    这个使命艰巨。正如大家所知,目前两国关系陷入困难,不时出现负面表态和措施,彼此在有些方面存在根深蒂固的误解。

    在澳大利亚,某些所谓社会精英操纵大众舆论,为个人谋求私利。他们同草根阶层和普通民众是割裂的,他们甚至打心底里瞧不起除他们以外的群体。我发现一个现象,不少主要传统媒体都被一些七八十岁的媒体人所掌控,他们不断地鼓吹那些既过时又脱离现实的想法。

    但幸运的是,他们无法决定你们的想法和行动。

    对于青年朋友,我希望你们能够更加包容地接受新鲜事物,深入了解人类历史,广泛观察世界各国,孜孜不倦追求真理。我也希望中澳青年之间有更多像今天这样的机会,加强沟通,深入交流。

    我相信“事实胜于雄辩”。如果我们每个人都尊重事实,从实际出发携手推动双方关系发展,我们就一定能够从我们的交往和合作中受益。

    我也相信“各美其美、美美与共”,“以诚相待、合作共赢”。如果我们每个人都尊重其他个人、群体、文化或国家的差异性和独特性,遵循人类文明的共同价值观,我们就一定能够创造一个和平繁荣的未来,迎来一个和谐美好的世界。

    青年人,你们是开启未来的钥匙,是世界的希望。

    预祝峰会取得圆满成功。谢谢大家!

Dear friends,

On behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Australia, I'd like to congratulate the 14th Australia-China Emerging Leading Summit hosted by Australia-China Youth Association. It is also my pleasure to share a few thoughts with you on this occasion.

We all share the same feeling that the world is changing.

Covid-19 has a significant impact on our life, challenging our conventional thinking on what a normal life means, how important health and medical service is to our society, whether we can deal with a universal crisis on our own, to what extent we shall let government intervene in our daily life, how we may improve response and governance to unexpected happenings.

We also feel El Nino in every corner of the world. In Glasgow last year, almost all countries in the world were committed to emission reduction and low-carbon development. So what shall we do to fit ourselves into the new mentality and the new form of life?

There are growing tensions around the world, such as potential conflicts between states in various forms, widened disparity between the rich and poor, divergent path and methodology to future development, quite polarized understanding of the balance between personal freedom and communal welfare, just to name a few.

At the same time, we see a big thrive in technology, such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, 3D print, bioscience, new materials, massive high-speed transportation, aerospace and maritime exploration, which if well applied could make human life more vibrant, intelligent, sustainable and harmonious.

Where is the key to unlocking a better future and shutting off potential crises and disasters? 

The key is in your hand. The younger generation is the future of the world and the hope of mankind.

But it won’t be a free ride. You have to outperform and outsmart the older generations, because you will face challenges that are much more sophisticated and complex than we have met.

I know this is the scenario for the younger generation in China. Last year, we celebrated the centenary of the Communist Party of China and achieved the first centenary goal of development by building a well-off society and eliminating poverty. This year, we start a new journey towards the second centenary goal, that is to build a modernized socialist country by mid-century. This new journey is no less bumpy and daunting than the first one.

I believe the scenario is quite similar to the younger generation in Australia. The country needs to keep up with the pace of global development and retain its prominent status as a robust economy, advanced science and technology developer, an ideal habitat for humans and other species, a resilient community toward genuine multiculturalism and social integration.

Our two countries will share a bright future if our younger people work together as friends and partners.

We have been friends for over two centuries since the first presence of the Chinese on this continent. We have been partners for over fifty years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the People’s Republic of China and the Commonwealth of Australia.

Our relationship and cooperation have benefited both countries and peoples, as well as other countries in the region and world.

I think it is your job, the mandate of your generation, to keep this momentum growing and lasting for another 50 years, or more.

It is not an easy job. As you know, our government-to-government relationship is not in good shape. Unfriendly words and actions were exchanged between state departments and administrations. There are wide-range and sometimes deep-set misunderstandings between each other.

A few so-called social elites manipulate public opinions to facilitate their pursuits of personal or parochial interest, segregating themselves from grassroots and commoners whom they might from the bottom of heart despise and despair. Interestingly, the major traditional media outlets have been monopolized by many septuagenarians and even octogenarians, who keep on preaching ideas both outdated and out of touch with reality.

But luckily, they are not able to dictate what you think and what you do.

I don’t want to dictate. I only wish to advise that the younger people be more receptive and inclusive, looking deeper into the history, broader around the world and keener about the truth. I hope there will be more communication and exchanges between Chinese and Australian young people, like what you’re doing today. Because I believe in the motto, “let the facts speak for themselves.” 

When everybody respects facts and proceeds with forging our relationship with a solid basis of facts, it’ll be a hundred percent guaranteed that we will benefit from our communication and collaboration.

The other motto I cherish is harmony based on diversity, solidarity based on integrity. When everybody respects the individuality and sometimes uniqueness of another person, community, culture or nation, and be true to the common values of the human civilization, we will surely harvest a peaceful and prosperous future and enjoy a wonderful and trouble-free world.

Once again, you are the key to the future. You are the hope of the world.

Thank you very much. And I wish the summit a great success.
