各位，國家在地區(qū)和世界的經(jīng)濟(jì)影響力正不斷增加。這是后金融海嘯時期國際經(jīng)濟(jì)的一個重要的變化。隨國家的內(nèi)需、對外貿(mào)易和對外投資不斷擴大，這個現(xiàn)象會不斷深化。在這個變化的過程中，香港可以利用本身的優(yōu)勢，發(fā)揮我們作為國際金融中心的角色，推動人民幣區(qū)域化、國際化，并提升香港的競爭力，也為內(nèi)地金融開放累積經(jīng)驗，促進(jìn)國家經(jīng)濟(jì)的進(jìn)一步發(fā)展。

Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen the country's growing economic influence in the region and the world. This is a significant change in the global economic landscape in the post-financial crisis era. This phenomenon will continue to intensify with the country's increasing domestic demand, external trade and overseas investment. In this process, Hong Kong will leverage our strengths as an international financial hub to promote the regionalization and internationalization of Renminbi, to enhance our competitiveness and to accumulate experience for the financial opening-up and further economic development of the country.

國家今后發(fā)展的方向，是要加快轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展模式，優(yōu)化經(jīng)濟(jì)結(jié)構(gòu)。香港的服務(wù)業(yè)發(fā)展成熟，在國際上占領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，加上“一國兩制”的獨特優(yōu)勢，在“十二．五”時期可以對國家發(fā)展做出新的貢獻(xiàn)?，F(xiàn)在“十二·五”規(guī)劃起草已到了關(guān)鍵時刻，我們會積極配合國家規(guī)劃工作，以充份發(fā)揮香港的功能角色。

Looking ahead, our country is set to accelerate the transformation of its economic development model and optimize its economic structure. With a mature and top-notch services sector, and unique advantages under "One Country, Two Systems", Hong Kong has much to contribute to the country's "12th Five-Year Plan". The drafting work of the Plan has now come to a critical stage. We will do all we can to contribute to the drafting of the Plan and give full play to our strengths to serve the needs of the country.

各位嘉賓、各位朋友：國家的發(fā)展有很美好的前景。我希望各界朋友都可以把握當(dāng)前時機，為國家、為香港的發(fā)展做出貢獻(xiàn)。最后，讓我們一起為國家、為香港的美好未來，干杯！

Distinguished guests and friends, we see a very promising future in our country. I hope all sectors of the community can seize the opportunities to contribute more to the development of our country and Hong Kong. Now, please join me in a toast: To a brighter future for our country and for Hong Kong.
