       首场“发挥自身优势，助力全球抗疫合作”论坛上，中国人民大学国际关系学院教授、博士生导师，国际事务研究所所长王义桅担任另一位开场发言嘉宾；中国外运股份有限公司，大连港集团，稳健医疗用品股份有限公司，深圳迈瑞生物医疗电子股份有限公司，中国中材国际工程股份有限公司等高级领导，以及巴基斯坦驻华大使和老挝驻华大使分别发言并参与讨论。深圳电视台财经生活高端访谈栏目《亚洲人物》主持人彩云担任主持人。

       蔡聪妙大使发言表示：“当今世界正经历百年未有的大变局。正在发生的严重流行病夺走了数百万人的生命，给人类的经济和社会发展带来了灾难性的影响。目前，全球新冠病毒疫情仍在蔓延，一些国家正面临第二波威胁。与病毒抗争，稳定我们的经济和保护我们的民生还有很长的路要走。

       新冠病毒是我们的共同敌人，我们应牢牢把握经济和社会复苏的前提和关键，加强抗疫的合作。因此，我们需要加强区域合作，以促进疫情后的恢复，推进“一带一路”建设，共同创造人类美好的未来。

       我们非常高兴地看到，在疫情爆发后，中国政府已采取了强有力的措施来控制疫情的蔓延，并毫无保留地分享他们的预防、控制和治疗经验，并向其他国家和国际组织提供了援助。中国在抗击疫情方面的胜利给了世界很大的信心。

       自菲律宾发生疫情以来，中国政府已向菲律宾提供了多轮抗疫援助，中国地方政府和企业也积极向菲律宾提供了抗疫援助。此外，中国驻菲律宾使领馆通过地方政府和非政府组织，向受疫情影响的有需要的人们提供了“友谊包”。

       面对疫情的挑战，两国政府和人民相互监督与帮助，共同努力建立更紧密的伙伴关系，并为国际抗疫合作树立了典范。面对经济和社会的后疫情“新常态”，菲律宾将与中国更紧密地合作，并利用市场的开放和创新机会实现共同发展。

       首先，中国有巨大的市场机会。据估计，未来10年中国将进口超过22万亿美元的外国商品。在上个月结束的第三届中国进口博览会上，有40多家菲律宾公司与中国进口商签署了总额达数亿美元的出口订单，其中包括热带水果、海鲜和保健食品。中国是菲律宾最大的贸易伙伴，也是最大的出口目的地。两国工商界可以进一步利用中国国际进口博览会、广交会、中国东盟博览会等平台，扩大双边经贸合作，共同促进两国经济复苏与发展，更好地使他们的人民受益。

       第二，互利共赢的开放机会。面对疫情后的经济复苏，中国和菲律宾携手计划未来的发展，并稳步推进“一带一路”倡议和“大建特建”计划，为菲律宾经济复苏创造新的增长点。中菲政府间合作项目总体进展顺利，为菲律宾的经济复苏带来了希望。迄今为止，两国已经完成了11个政府间合作项目，涉及毒品管制、反恐、粮食安全、广播电视服务等领域。正在执行6个项目，正在规划18个项目，涉及道路和铁路、防洪和灌溉等基础设施以及其他民生项目。

       随着中国经济的转型升级，越来越多的中国公司走向海外。菲律宾是中国的邻国，是中国－东盟自由贸易区和《区域全面经济合作协定》的重要成员。它绝对可以成为吸引中国公司投资的热点。近年来，根据中国驻菲律宾大使馆的消息，许多中国公司已在菲律宾投资。中国电信参与Dito Telecom的投资至少为50亿美元。中国河北钢铁集团投资44亿美元在棉兰老岛卡加延德奥罗市建设大型钢铁企业和配套港口。另一家钢铁制造商攀华集团计划投资35亿美元在棉兰老岛将军市桑托斯将军建设综合钢厂项目。仅这两个项目就将为菲律宾提供数万个就业机会，有效地促进了菲律宾的经济复苏，并将帮助菲律宾及早进入中高收入经济体行列。

       第三，优势互补的创新机会。
       疫情催生了新的商业模式，包括5G网络应用、远程网络教育和人工智能，从而改变了生活方式和生产方式。中菲在上述领域具有共同优势，可以积极促进合作。菲律宾的年轻人口众多，社交媒体渗透率很高。电子商务、金融技术等数字经济已进入快速发展阶段，具有良好的发展前景。
       实际上，近年来，阿里巴巴、腾讯、百度和今日头条等大型中国互联网公司已经开始在菲律宾市场进行部署。中国的51Talk无忧英语在线教育公司充分利用了菲律宾的人力资源，雇佣了20000多名菲律宾英语老师在线教授中国学生，并且将来还将再招聘30000名菲律宾英语老师。中国已经制定了未来15至30年的发展蓝图，菲律宾也提出了“2040年愿景”。菲中两国正在抓住机遇，顺应潮流，巩固和发展两国关系，携手为两国和亚洲创造更美好的明天！

       女士们，先生们，菲律宾工商总会、菲律宾国际商会和菲律宾丝绸之路国际商会，将尽力弥合差距，并协助中国公司在菲律宾投资和建厂。我们还将为中国公司提供相关的咨询和帮助。”

       在随后的多场论坛中，中非发展基金、巴基斯坦驻广州领馆、清华大学、中国人民大学、中山大学等高校及科研机构，中国外运、上海证券交易所、深圳证券交易所、国信证券、亚信集团、渣打银行等上市公司负责人在大会上发言交流，讲述参与“一带一路”建设的亲身实践，为疫情防控新常态下共建“一带一路”走深走实建言献策。

       本次论坛由中国贸促会、全国工商联、广东省人民政府、世界贸易中心协会主办，深圳市人民政府、深圳证券交易所、广东省贸促会、广东省工商联承办。来自“一带一路”沿线国家和地区的政府部门、工商界、专业机构、企业等的代表400余人参加了线下论坛，100余位嘉宾以在线方式参会。

  At the critical juncture of the global spread of COVID-19, Chinese listed companies have given full play to their industry advantages and actively participated in the international cooperation against COVID-19. Listed companies actively shared China's experience in fighting the epidemic , and discussed opening up the "lifeline" of global anti-epidemic materials, earnestly fulfilling corporate social responsibilities, promoting the resumption of overseas projects, and maintaining the stability of the global industrial chain.

  Wang Yiwei, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of International Relations and Director of the Institute of International Affairs of Renmin University of China, was another guest speaker at the first forum on "Leveraging our Own strengths to Boost Global cooperation against COVID-19".
Senior leaders from SINOtrans, Dalian Port Group, Robust Medical Supplies, Shenzhen Mindray Bio-medical Electronics, Sinomart International Engineering co., LTD., as well as the Ambassador of Pakistan and the Ambassador of Laos respectively made speeches and participated in the discussion.
Caiyun, the host of Asian Characters, a high-end interview program on financial life in Shenzhen TV, is the host.

  Amb. Francis Chua said in the statement: "The world today is undergoing great changes unseen in a century. The ongoing serious epidemic has claimed millions of lives and has had a disastrous impact on the economic and social development of mankind. At present, the COVID-19 is still spreading globally and some countries are facing the second wave of threats. There is still a long way to go to stabilize our economy and protect our livelihood in the fight against the virus.

  Novel Coronavirus is our common enemy. We should firmly grasp the premise and key of economic and social recovery, which is strengthen cooperation in epidemic prevention.
Therefore, we need to strengthen regional cooperation to promote post-epidemic recovery, promote the "One Belt And One Road" construction, and jointly create a better future for mankind.

  We are very pleased to see that after the outbreak, the Chinese government has taken strong measures to contain the spread of the epidemic, unreservedly shared their experience in prevention, control and treatment, and provided assistance to other countries and international organizations. China's victory in the fight against the epidemic has given the world great confidence.

  Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in the Philippines, the Chinese government has provided several rounds of anti-epidemic assistance to the Philippines, and Chinese local governments and enterprises have also provided active anti-epidemic assistance to the Philippines. In addition, Chinese embassies and consulates in the Philippines, through local governments and Non-Governmental organizations, have provided "friendship packages" to those in need affected by the epidemic.

  In the face of the challenge of the epidemic, the governments and peoples of the two countries have supervised and helped each other, worked together to build closer partnership and set an example for international cooperation against the epidemic. In the face of the post-epidemic "new normal" of the economy and society, the Philippines will work more closely with China and take advantage of market opening and innovation opportunities for common development.

  First, there are huge market opportunities in China.
  It is estimated that China will import more than $22 trillion of foreign goods in the next 10 years.
  At the third China Import Expo, which ended last month, more than 40 Philippine companies signed hundreds of millions of dollars worth of export orders with Chinese importers, including tropical fruits, seafood and health food. China is the Philippines' largest trading partner and its largest export destination. The business communities of the two countries can make further use of such platforms as the China International Import Expo, the Canton Fair and the China-Asean Expo to expand bilateral economic and trade cooperation, jointly promote economic recovery and development of the two countries and better benefit their people.

  Second, win-win opportunities for opening-up.
  In the face of economic recovery after the epidemic, China and the Philippines have worked together to plan for future development, and steadily promoted the "One Belt And One Road" initiative and the "Build, Build, Build" to create new growth points for the Philippines' economic recovery. China-Philippines intergovernmental cooperation projects have been progressing smoothly on the whole, bringing hope for the Philippines' economic recovery.
  To date, the two countries have completed 11 inter-governmental cooperation projects covering drug control, counter-terrorism, food security, radio and television services and other fields. Six projects are being implemented and 18 are being planned, relating to infrastructure such as roads and railways, flood control and irrigation, and other livelihood projects.
  With the transformation and upgrading of China's economy, more and more Chinese companies are going overseas. The Philippines is a neighbor of China and an important member of the China-Asean Free Trade Area and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement. It could definitely be a hot spot for Chinese companies to invest. In recent years, according to reports from the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, many Chinese companies have invested in the Philippines.
  China Telecom will invest at least $5 billion in Dito Telecom. Hebei Iron and Steel Group of China invested us $4.4 billion to build a large steel enterprise and supporting port in Cajayan de Oro on Mindanao island. Panghua group, another steelmaker, plans to invest $3.5 billion to build an integrated steel mill in General Santos in The city of General Santos in Mindanao. These two projects alone will create tens of thousands of jobs in the Philippines, effectively contributing to the country's economic recovery and helping the Philippines enter the ranks of middle - and high-income economies early.

  Third, innovation opportunities that complement each other's strengths.
  The epidemic has spawned new business models, including 5G Internet applications, remote online education and artificial intelligence, which have changed the way people live and produce.China and the Philippines share common advantages in the above areas and can actively promote cooperation.
  The Philippines has a large young population and high social media penetration. Digital economy, such as e-commerce and financial technology, has entered the stage of rapid development and has good prospects for development. Indeed, in recent years, large Chinese Internet companies such as Alibaba, Tencent, Baidu and Toutiao have begun to deploy in the Philippine market. China's 51Talk 51Talk English online education company has made full use of human resources in the Philippines, employing more than 20,000 Filipino English teachers to teach Chinese students online, and will recruit another 30,000 Filipino English teachers in the future.
  China has drawn up a blueprint for the next 15 to 30 years, and the Philippines has put forward a "2040 vision". The Philippines and China are seizing the opportunity, following the trend, consolidating and developing bilateral relations and jointly creating a better future for our two countries and Asia.

  Ladies and gentlemen, the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the International Chamber of Commerce of the Philippine Silk Road International Chamber of Commerce will do their best to bridge the gap and assist Chinese companies to invest and set up factories in the Philippines. We will also provide relevant advice and assistance to Chinese companies."
