桂大使说,瑞典是第一个与新中国建交的西方国家,也是最早与中国签署经贸、科技合作政府间协定的西方国家之一,为中国改革开放和现代化建设作出了积极贡献。中瑞合作关系源远流长,260多年前“哥德堡号”商船远航中国,开启了中瑞海上丝绸之路合作。两国人民有着传统的友好感情,渴望发展中瑞合作关系。建交近70年来,中瑞关系总体保持稳定发展势头,各领域交流合作取得丰硕成果。2018年,中瑞双边贸易额达到171.5亿美元,同比增长15%,创历史新高。中瑞教育、科技、文化交流规模不断扩大。两国政府间建立教育政策对话机制和科技联委会机制,瑞典高校中国留学生现已突破9000人,是5年前的两倍多,中瑞大中小学校、各类科研机构交流与合作蓬勃开展,孔子学院、汉语文化节等人文交流项目及中国优秀文艺团体来瑞演出受到瑞典民众的热烈欢迎。

今年是中华人民共和国成立70周年,明年中国和瑞典建交70周年。纵观两国关系近70年发展史,友好合作始终是中瑞关系的主流,推动双边关系向前发展是两国人民的共同愿望,中瑞深化各领域务实合作具有巨大潜力和广阔前景。你们来自瑞典各行各业、各个机构,因在华学习、工作、创业与中国结缘,是一支推动中瑞友好关系发展的重要力量。你们中间还有许多年轻人,即将赴华留学或工作,更是未来中瑞合作的生力军。中瑞两国关系根基在民众、未来在青年。我衷心希望大家在各自领域充分发挥对华合作的引领作用,为推动两国关系发展不断注入新的活力和动力。希望瑞典中国校友会定期开展像今天这样的联谊活动,为大家开展对华交流合作搭建沟通之桥和机制化平台。让我们共同努力,不断开拓中瑞合作新领域,打造新平台,为促进两国友好合作关系发展贡献更大力量,造福中瑞两国人民。

北欧科萃公司创始人,北欧中国初创论坛主席欢龙介绍了他的公司及论坛,矢志要为中瑞之间的青年交流做出贡献。他说现在项目刚启动一年多就在中瑞九个城市有了项目组。今年还要组织很多活动,年底前要带领一个大团到中国去。

Bonzun AB(口袋孕育)公司创始人、2019瑞典女性创业年度人物Bonnie Roupe 讲述了她在中国创业的经历。她说,她发明了一个关于帮助孕妇的APP,可以用虚拟形式教授孕妇很多有关孕产妇的知识,让妇女少受生孩子的痛苦。她说,她在上海工作四年了,感觉中国的创新意识也是很强的,她觉得她在中国受到了很大鼓舞。她说,作为一个有两个孩子的母亲能够到中国去创业,那么其他的青年也肯定能。她鼓励年轻人到中国去创业。她说她目前在中国有两百万用户,她希望她的APP用户更广泛,惠及更多的妇女。

瑞典创新局国际事务部项目主任Ciro Vasquez表示瑞典创新局非常重视年轻人的创新意识,瑞典的未来能立于不败之地主要依赖于年轻人。因此,他非常高兴看到学生们能够努力通过创新加强中瑞友好关系。

瑞典国际学生和校友会主席Adrian Stymne讲述了瑞典对外交流的历史。最早可以追溯到莎士比亚笔下的王子哈姆雷特,后来有很多国王王子到国外留学访问。在欧盟专门有一个支持青年学生进行国际访问游学的项目,欧盟花了大笔资金支持数百万学生在欧盟国家互访。该项目就是典型的维持和平的项目。因此,中国大使馆能支持这个项目非常好。

闭幕式上,威廉姆表示,通过这个活动他认为每个人都应该回去给自己的圈子传播中瑞之间的友谊,尽最大努力传播中国北欧之间的友谊,成为和平友谊的使者。

使馆教育文化处教育参赞曹叠峰致闭幕词。他向所有参与、支持和组织本次活动的中瑞各界人士表示衷心的感谢。他阐述了发起瑞典中国校友联谊会的初衷和意义,表示以后将继续开展这样的活动。同时,他还向与会人士推介了各类留学中国奖学金项目。

来自瑞典各行各业各个机构的朋友们欢聚在一起。他们中有在中国投资很成功的企业家,也有刚刚起步进入中国市场的新锐; 有在全球拥有一千万用户的2019瑞典女性创业年度人物,也有在中瑞中欧合资企业工作的普通职员; 有早年在中国高校留学今天携手前来的老两口,也有即将结伴而行赴华留学的小伙伴们; 有致力于中瑞教育科技文化交流的杰出学者,也有刚刚起步正在刻苦学习汉语的大学生;有主管对华合作的瑞典政府官员,也有深入研读习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的瑞典高中生。今天,他们因为中国走到一起,讲述他们的中国故事,交流他们的中国体验,似乎有说不完的话,热闹非凡。

科技参赞戴钢,政治新闻处主任陈季良和领事部主任张磊等也出席了使馆举办的首届瑞典中国校友联谊会。

Vinge律师事务所举办欧盟外商投资新规范解读研讨会

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 5月29日下午,斯德哥尔摩Vinge律师事务所专家埃里克.拉格洛夫就将于2020年生效的欧盟外商投资新规范向瑞典的中国企业家们进行了解读。

他说,欧盟发布这个指南的目的是要加强欧盟各国之间的协作。希望通过这个规定能够分享信息。他的好处是如果一国投资,其他国家的有关部门也可以分享到信息。但不好的方面是,一旦发现问题,可能需要投资商提供有关信息,而这个信息可能被所有欧盟国家都能看到。

他说,其实瑞典是一个非常依赖进出口贸易的国家,因此,对欧盟的指南并不感冒,但是,瑞典自己也有权根据自己的实际情况来决定对哪些领域限制或放开。但总的来说,瑞典是非常开放的。

瑞中贸易委员会副主席赵炳浩从企业角度讲述了他对欧盟新规范的看法。他认为欧盟的举措实际上可以保证欧盟的投资质量好一些,可以防止假投资或者洗钱等情况。对于在欧盟已经投资的企业,本规范不适用。但是,如果从2020年10月以后开始投资,就受影响。

本次说明研讨会是由顾群主持的。她说,该指南有利有弊,大家只有真正了解了新规范,才会做出正确的选择。

Ambassador Gui Congyou attends the Second Belt and Road Forum in Stockholm and delivers a key not speech titled Jointly Build a High Quality Belt and Road for a Future of Sustainable Development

STOCKHOLM, May 31,(Greenpost) — Chinese Ambassador Gui Congyou made a key note speech titled Jointly Build a High Quality Belt and Road for a Future of Sustainable Development. The whole text is as the following:

Excellences, experts, scholars and friends from the business community,

Good morning.

Last month, the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation was successfully held in Beijing, leading the joint efforts to build a high quality Belt and Road into a new stage. Today’s seminar hosted by the BRIX group is very timely and relevant, and will certainly promote China-Sweden “Belt and Road” cooperation.

Over the past six years since President Xi Jinping proposed the “Belt and Road Initiative”, our BRI circle of friends has grown ever bigger, quality of cooperation ever better and prospects for development ever brighter. Over 150 countries and international organizations signed cooperation agreements with China to build the BRI together. Nearly 40 heads of state and government and nearly 5000 foreign participants from over 150 countries and international organizations attended the second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, achieving 283 cooperation outcomes and signing contracts worth over USD 64 billion. These numbers fully demonstrate that the BRI is consistent with the trend of times and meets the need of all parties involved.

The Belt and Road is a road of open cooperation. The BRI is not a geopolitical game, nor is it an exclusive club. Instead, the BRI is based on extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and is committed to multilateralism and open world economy. The Forum in Beijing saw the signing of over 100 bilateral cooperation documents in areas like transportation, trade, technology, culture and exchanges between think tanks, the establishment of a national standards information platform among the Belt and Road partner countries, and the signing of third party market cooperation documents. The BRI is a joint project that combines our respective strengths into a synergy for shared development.

The Belt and Road is a road of sustainable development. The BRI focuses on the fundamental issue of development, and helps countries along the route to break the bottleneck of development. A World Bank study shows that BRI cooperation helps reduce the cost of global trade and increases the global economic growth by at least 0.1%. The BRI pursues high standard cooperation to improve people’s lives and promotes sustainable development. It adopts widely accepted rules and standards, contributes to job creation and poverty reduction, and ensures commercial and fiscal sustainability. It is a major contribution to 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the UN. The BRI is no “debt trap”, rather it helps many countries to get out of the “trap of underdevelopment”.

The Belt and Road is a road of green and clean cooperation. The BRI pursues open, green and clean cooperation and aims to promote green development. The BRI launches green infrastructure projects, makes green investment and provides green financing to improve the ecological environment, and supports the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In pursuing Belt and Road cooperation, everything should be done in a transparent way, and we must have zero tolerance for corruption and show strong commitment to clean governance. During the second BRI Forum in Beijing, the BRI International Green Development Coalition was established, the Green Investment Principles for the Belt and Road Development was issued and the Beijing Initiative for Clean Silk Road was launched.

The BRI pursues openness, interconnectivity and consensus through consultation. It values integrity and follows rules. This is especially important in a world of surging protectionism and unilateralism. I know people are closely watching the trade war started by the US. The US brandishes the baton of protectionism and uses administrative means to abuse tariffs, which severely damages the norms of international trade, harms the interests of other parties and increases the uncertainties of global economy. The US also abandoned market principles, in total disregard of international rules, used executive powers to suppress Chinese companies, which we firmly oppose. The US is a “rule breaker” and a “faith breaker”. The US bears full responsibility for the trade war, as it is unilaterally started by the US. China does not want a trade war, but we are not afraid of fighting one, and we will fight to the end. This is safeguarding our legitimate rights and interests, and also defending an open global economy and the multilateral trading system.

Dear friends,

China and Europe are at the two ends of the Belt and Road. Europe is a natural partner and direct beneficiary of building a high quality Belt and Road. China-Europe freight trains have conducted 14,000 trips, connecting China and 50 cities in 15 European countries. The Joint statement of the 21st EU-China Summit reiterated that the two sides will continue to forge synergies between the EU strategy on Connecting Europe and Asia as well as the EU Trans-European Transport Networks and China’s Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road cooperation between China and the EU has bright prospects. It is in our mutual interests and will deliver benefits to hundreds of millions of people.

Sweden has good conditions to participate in jointly building the Belt and Road. As a firm advocate for multilateralism and free trade, Sweden has a pioneering spirit and a long line of achievements in green, innovative, open and sustainable development, which is highly compatible to the joint contribution to Belt and Road. Trade between China and Sweden has been hitting new records year after year, reaching USD 17.15 billion in 2018. China is now the largest trading partner of Sweden outside of the EU, and Sweden continues to maintain a trade surplus with China. This March, the first Nordic-China Smart City Cooperation Conference was held in Stockholm, which established a new effective platform for deepening our cooperation. There are also great prospects for China and Sweden to work together to address climate change and to carry out cooperation in third party markets. Joint contribution to the Belt and Road will undoubtedly provide a broader platform for Sweden to play its strength, and open up greater room for its development. The opportunities for China-Sweden Belt and Road cooperation are here. We welcome all sectors of Sweden to join the Belt and Road circle of friends and build a brighter future of sustainable development.

My wishes for a full success of the seminar. Thank you!

Ambassador Gui was interviewed by Gunnar Vagerstam Vice Chairmen for TV for Civil Society and Xuefei Chen Axelsson, Editor and Reporter of Green Post(www.greenpost.se)
