尊敬的各位同事、各位來賓，

女士們，先生們，朋友們：

Distinguished Colleagues and Guests,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

5年前，我提議再次召開全球婦女峰會。今天，很高興同各位朋友如約相聚北京，共同紀念北京世界婦女大會召開30周年，一起探討推動全球婦女事業發展大計。我代表中國政府和中國人民對峰會的召開表示熱烈祝賀！

Five years ago, I proposed another global leaders' meeting on women. Today, I am very pleased that we are having this gathering in Beijing to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and discussing ways to promote the global women's cause. On behalf of the Chinese government and people, I would like to extend warm congratulations on the opening of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women.

婦女是人類文明的重要創造者、推動者、傳承者，推進婦女事業發展是國際社會的共同責任。30年前，北京世婦會確立“以行動謀求平等、發展與和平”的崇高目標，通過了具有里程碑意義的《北京宣言》和《行動綱領》，將性別平等刻入時代議程，激勵全世界的人們為之接續奮斗。

Women play an important role in creating, promoting and carrying forward human civilization. And the international community has a shared responsibility to advance the cause of women. Thirty years ago, the Fourth World Conference on Women set the lofty goal of "Action for Equality, Development and Peace," and adopted the landmark Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. Gender equality has been etched in the agenda of our times, galvanizing the whole world in its unwavering pursuit of that goal.

30年來，在北京世婦會精神指引下，全球婦女事業蓬勃發展，為人類文明進步增添了亮麗色彩。追求男女平等已經成為國際社會普遍共識，被納入聯合國各項發展議程和重點領域發展目標，189個國家批準了《消除對婦女一切形式歧視公約》。婦女生存和發展環境持續優化，190多個國家通過了近1600項保障婦女權益的法律，越來越多國家制定提升婦女福祉的國家行動計劃。婦女賦權取得顯著進步，女性受教育水平不斷提高，在經濟、政治、文化、社會生活中發揮著更加重要的作用。一大批杰出女性走上國際舞臺，演繹精彩人生、貢獻智慧力量。

Over the past 30 years, guided by the spirit of the Beijing World Conference on Women, the cause of women has been thriving around the world, adding brilliant splendor to the progress of human civilization. Equality between men and women is now a universal consensus of the international community. It has been included in United Nations development agenda and priority development targets, and 189 countries have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. The environment for women's livelihood and development has been improving steadily. Nearly 1,600 laws on women's rights and interests have been enacted by more than 190 countries, and more and more countries have made national action plans to improve women's well-being. Prominent progress has been achieved in women's empowerment. Their educational attainment has been steadily improving, and women are playing an ever more important role in economic, political, cultural, and social affairs. A great many outstanding women have stepped up to take the international stage, living their lives to the full and making contributions with their wisdom and strength.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！

全球婦女命運與共。當前，實現婦女全面發展仍然面臨復雜挑戰。據統計，全球尚有超過6億婦女和女童深陷戰亂沖突，約10%的婦女和女童生活在極端貧困之中。同時，暴力和歧視痼疾難消，性別數字鴻溝加大，實現男女平等任重道遠。展望未來，我們要重溫北京世婦會初心，為加速婦女全面發展新進程凝聚更廣泛共識、開辟更廣闊道路、采取更務實行動。在此，我提4點建議。

Women in every corner of the world are bound together by a shared future. At present, complex challenges still hamper their all-round development. Statistics show that globally, over 600 million women and girls are still mired in war and conflict, and around 10 percent of women and girls are trapped in extreme poverty. At the same time, deep-rooted problems such as violence and discrimination still persist, the gender digital divide is widening, and equality between men and women remains a lofty yet arduous task. Looking ahead, we should rededicate ourselves to the purpose of the Beijing World Conference on Women, and build greater consensus, broaden the paths forward, and take more concrete actions to accelerate the new process of women's all-round development. To this end, I wish to make four proposals.

第一，共同營造有利于婦女成長發展的良好環境。和平安寧是實現婦女全面發展的前提。我們要秉持共同、綜合、合作、可持續的安全觀，維護世界和平，讓廣大婦女沐浴幸福安寧陽光，遠離戰爭動蕩陰霾。加強對戰亂沖突、貧困災害地區婦女和女童的保護，支持婦女在預防沖突和重建家園中發揮重要作用。健全和完善反暴力機制，堅決打擊針對婦女的一切形式的暴力行為。

First, we should jointly foster an enabling environment for women's growth and development. Their all-round development is achieved under the prerequisite of peace and tranquility. We need to uphold the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, and must safeguard world peace, so that all women can bask in the sunlight of happiness and tranquility and stay away from the shadow of war and turmoil. We need to enhance the protection of women and girls in regions struck by war, conflict, poverty or natural disaster, and support the vital role of women in preventing conflict and rebuilding their homes. We should improve mechanisms against violence and resolutely crack down on all forms of violence against women.

第二，共同培育推動婦女事業高質量發展的強勁動能。世界現代化應由廣大婦女參與和分享。我們要著力解決全球婦女發展不平衡不充分問題，讓全體婦女共享經濟全球化成果，有力促進婦女全面發展。把握新一輪科技革命和產業變革機遇，以科技創新賦能婦女事業高質量發展，支持婦女在綠色發展中發揮更大作用，努力讓廣大婦女在世界現代化的大潮中人生出彩、夢想成真。

Second, we should jointly cultivate powerful momentum for the high-quality development of women's cause. Modernization of the world should involve and benefit women. We should proactively address the imbalance and inadequacy of women's development around the world, enable all women to share the benefits of economic globalization, and propel women's all-round development. We need to seize the opportunity of the new wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and empower women's high-quality development through innovation. We need to support women in playing an even bigger role in green development, and strive to help them shine in life and realize their dreams in this era of global modernization.

第三，共同構建保障婦女權益的治理格局。我們要完善制度和法律，推出更多可感可及的政策舉措，讓更多優質的健康和教育資源惠及所有婦女，努力讓廣大婦女更加全面公平地享有各項權利。營造包容和諧的社會環境，讓婦女免于受到歧視和偏見。拓寬婦女參政議政渠道，支持婦女廣泛參與國家和社會治理。共同營造尊重婦女的良好氛圍，使性別平等真正內化為全社會的文明共識和行為準則。

Third, we should jointly develop governance frameworks to protect women's rights and interests. We need to improve institutions and laws, introduce further tangible and accessible policy measures, channel more quality health and educational resources to all women, and strive to afford all women full and equal enjoyment of various rights. We must promote an inclusive and harmonious social environment that sets women free from discrimination and bias. We should broaden the channels for women to participate in and deliberate on political affairs, and support their extensive engagement in state and social governance. We should jointly nurture an environment that respects women, and morph gender equality into a common value and a code of conduct embraced by everyone in our society.

第四，共同書寫促進全球婦女合作的嶄新篇章。不久前，我提出全球治理倡議，倡導以人為本，推動構建更加公正合理的全球治理體系。婦女是改革完善全球治理體系的重要力量。我們要支持婦女擔當時代責任，深度參與全球治理，共享治理成果。支持聯合國發揮核心作用，更多關注發展中國家婦女需求，為各國婦女搭建寬廣的合作平臺，持續深化交流互鑒，推動形成美美與共的生動局面。

Fourth, we should jointly write a new chapter in promoting global cooperation on women. Not long ago, I proposed the Global Governance Initiative, calling for a more just and equitable global governance system with the people's interests in mind. Women are crucial in reforming and improving the global governance system. We must support them in assuming their historic responsibilities, enabling them to play a substantive role in global governance and share in its benefits. We should support the central role of the United Nations (U.N.), urging it to pay more attention to the needs of women in developing countries, create broad cooperation platforms for women from all countries, and continually deepen exchanges and mutual learning, so as to help women across the world thrive and shine together.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Friends,

中國堅持將婦女事業融入中國式現代化宏闊實踐。經過多年努力，中國婦女事業取得歷史性成就、發生歷史性變革。我們打贏了人類歷史上最大規模的脫貧攻堅戰，6.9億婦女同步邁進小康，提前實現聯合國2030年可持續發展議程減貧目標。中國孕產婦死亡率比1995年下降近80%，婦幼健康核心指標位居全球中高收入國家前列。今天，中國婦女在經濟社會發展中真正發揮著“半邊天”作用。中國全社會就業人員中女性占比超過四成，互聯網領域創業者中女性超過一半，過去4屆夏季奧運會獎牌獲得者中女性占比超過60%。新時代的中國女性正在以前所未有的自信和活力參與國家和社會治理全過程，奮戰在鄉村振興和共同富裕第一線，拼搏于科技創新和數字轉型最前沿，書寫著昂揚奮進的巾幗華章。中國式現代化新征程上，每一位婦女都是主角！

In China, the cause of women has always been an integral part of the epic Chinese modernization endeavors. Thanks to years of hard work, we have secured historic achievements and seen historic changes in the cause of women in China. We have won the largest battle against poverty in human history, and thereby brought moderate prosperity to 690 million women, achieving ahead of schedule the poverty reduction goal of the U.N.'s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We have reduced maternal mortality ratio by nearly 80 percent since 1995, and joined the leading upper-middle-income countries in core indicators for maternal and child health. Today, women in China truly "hold up half the sky" in economic and social development. They make up more than 40 percent of the workforce, more than half of internet start-up founders, and more than 60 percent of all medalists in the past four Summer Olympic Games. In the new era, Chinese women, more confident and vibrant than ever before, are taking part in the whole process of state and social governance. They are fighting on the front lines for rural revitalization and common prosperity as well as scientific innovation and digital transition. They are writing a splendid history of the cause of women in China. On the new journey of Chinese modernization, every woman is a star.

中國積極以自身發展為全球婦女事業提供機遇和保障。中國發起設立文明對話國際日，同聯合國教科文組織合作設立女童和婦女教育獎，實施“婦幼健康工程”、“快樂校園工程”等一批“小而美”公益項目，在共建“一帶一路”、上海合作組織等框架內積極推動國際婦女交流合作。

China actively provides opportunities and support for global women's cause through its development. We have initiated the International Day for Dialogue among Civilizations, and set up the Prize for Girls and Women's Education in partnership with UNESCO. We have launched "maternal and child health," "happy campuses," and other "small and beautiful" public welfare projects. We are actively promoting international exchanges and cooperation on women under Belt and Road cooperation, in the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and within other frameworks.

為進一步支持全球婦女事業發展，我宣布，未來5年，中方將再向聯合國婦女署捐款1000萬美元；提供1億美元全球發展和南南合作基金額度，同國際組織合作實施促進婦女和女童發展合作項目；以婦女和女童為優先受益對象，在民生發展領域援助1000個“小而美”項目；邀請5萬名婦女來華交流研修；設立“全球婦女能力建設中心”，同相關國家和國際組織開展婦女領域能力建設等發展合作，培養更多女性杰出人才。

To further support the global cause of women, I'd like to make the following announcement: In the next five years, China will donate another 10 million U.S. dollars to U.N. Women; earmark a quota of 100 million U.S. dollars in China's Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund for implementing development cooperation projects for women and girls in collaboration with international organizations; launch 1,000 "small and beautiful" livelihood programs with Chinese assistance that take women and girls as priority beneficiaries; invite 50,000 women to China for exchange and training programs; and establish a Global Center for Women's Capacity Building, which is aimed at conducting capacity building and other development cooperation with relevant countries and international organizations to train more female talent.

女士們、先生們、朋友們！
