国际交流加深理解与相互支持

International exchanges deepen understanding and mutual support

2022年,德国波恩大学应用政治研究院将与来自中国的伙伴和朋友共同举办我们开展交流与合作的10周年庆典。在中国,10周年庆典可能并非大事,但对我们来讲,10年是值得回顾的时光。我年龄虽然大了些,但我的发言却紧扣时代脉搏。我们对合作的理解以及对未来的期望不会改变。庆典让我们可以回顾过去,铭记指导我们的初心,确保合作的延续和长久。我对中国人民取得的成就充满了敬佩。

In today’s ever-changing era, gatherings and communication allow us to see our own problems from the eyes of others and to carry on self-reflection. The exchanges between the scientific and political circles are very important to all sides. China’s statements about the crucial issues have also won international trust. In solving regional conflicts and European debt crisis, China as a major power has demonstrated its future status.Europe should be more mature. Blindly taking care of one’s own interests will ultimately hurt oneself. If we could not recognize or accept that a win-win situation is the real appeal, the world would be on a dangerous path.
