中国呼吁建立公平的国际信息机制,以便所有国家的声音在全球舞台上得到真正表达

《新兴尼泊尔报》Ritu Raj Subedi  6月12日

中国网络社会组织联合会副会长,新华网董事长、总裁田舒斌于周二在中国云南省玉溪市举办的中国-南亚媒体论坛上表示:“我们的观点在国际上被歪曲了。我们的声音需要在各国被公平客观地听到。”

该论坛由新华社和云南省人民政府主办,主题是“深化媒体合作,增进民心相通”。

田舒斌表示,媒体应该顺应传媒格局的变化,建立数字化环境和连接网络平台。

尼泊尔总统比迪亚·德维·班达里的新闻顾问马达夫·夏尔马表示,尼泊尔和中国媒体应该在处理国家利益问题和解决人民担忧问题方面发挥自己的作用。

夏尔马表示,南亚媒体不应该为了满足某人的个人利益而发布新闻。他说:“我们应该在发布新闻之前确保报道的真实性。‘一带一路’倡议对促进互联互通和经济发展发挥了重要作用。”

 

 

 

China calls for fair information order

By Ritu Raj Subedi Yuxi City, June 12

China has called for creating fair international information regime so that the voices of all nations are truly articulated on the global stage.

“Our opinions are distorted at the international level. Our voice needs to be fairly and objectively heard across the nations,” Tian Shubin, vice-president of Chinese Federation of Internet Societies and president of Xinhuanet, said.
Tian made this remark while addressing China-South Asia Media Forum that kicked off in Yuxi, a Chinese city in Yunnan Province, on Tuesday.
Organised by Xinhua News Agency and the People’s Government of Yunnan Province, the theme of the Forum is ‘stronger media cooperation for the people-to-people exchange’.
Tian said that the media outlets should follow the trend seen in the realm of media transformation that calls for building platform for digital and connectivity networks.
Madhav Sharma, press advisor to Nepal’s President Bidya Devi Bhandari, said that Nepali and Chinese media should play their role in addressing their national interest and people’s concerns.
Sharma said that the South Asian media should not publish news to fulfill mean interest of somebody. “We should ensure the authenticity of reporting before publishing news. Belt and Road Initiative has played an important role for boosting smooth connectivity and economic development.”

 

班达里:媒体应该反映当地的现实

《新兴尼泊尔报》

尼泊尔廓尔喀帕特拉公司执行主席克里希纳·穆拉里·班达里在主旨发言中说:“我们南亚国家的公民在重大地区和全球问题上非常依赖外国媒体机构的新闻和观点,如正在进行的中美贸易战、华为5G、巴基斯坦-印度紧张局势和朝鲜-韩国关系,但他们缺乏对这些事件客观和公正的报道。”

班达里表示,新闻故事、文章和评论没有反映当地的现实和背景。“因此,中国和南亚媒体之间需要更多的互动和沟通,我们才能从自己的角度看待问题。要互相理解和对当前问题和议程有坦率的看法,媒体合作是关键。”

班达里补充说,尼泊尔和中国现在应该建立全面的伙伴关系,以加强互联互通、基础设施发展、贸易和人民间关系。

云南省政协副主席喻顶成表示,大众媒体是促进国家间文化和经济关系的有效工具。他说:“中国和南亚媒体需要分享信息和知识,建立共识,以便更好地合作。”

《参考消息》报社社长王朝文强调,我们需要通过技术支持、经验交流、媒体培训和合作来加强该地区人民之间的友好关系。

云南广播电视台台长何亚宁说,云南和南亚之间有很多东西可以分享。他建议建立媒体沟通渠道和健全的互动机制,开展媒体人员培训,探索共同点,增进了解,以实现论坛的主题。

来自七个南亚国家的媒体人士、官员和专家出席了论坛。

与此同时,尼泊尔国家通讯社哈里哈尔·阿迪卡里在主题为“深化合作,携手推进地区包容性发展”的圆桌会议上表示,媒体在推动区域包容性发展方面发挥着至关重要的作用。他说:“一个国家的繁荣不应成为其他国家遭受苦难的原因。它必须包含每个国家。”

Media should reflect local reality: Bhandary

By Rising Nepal

In his keynote speech, Krishna Murari Bhandary, executive chairman of Gorkhapatra Corporation of Nepal, said, “We, the citizens of South Asian countries, heavily depend on the foreign media agencies for the news and views of major regional and global issues such as ongoing China-US trade war, Huawei 5G, Pakistan-Indian tension and North-South Korea relations but they lack objective and unbiased presentation of these events.”
Bhandary further said that news stories, articles and comments were designed in a way that does not reflect the local reality and context. “Thus, it requires greater interaction and communication between the Chinese and South Asian media to see the things through our own perspective. In this regard, the media cooperation forms the key to understand each other and have unvarnished views on the current issues and agenda.”
It is high time Nepal and China should forge comprehensive partnership to enhance connectivity, infrastructure development, trade and people-to-people relations, added Bhandary.
Yu Dingcheng, Vice-chair of Yunnan provincial Committee of the Chinese People’s Consultative Conference, said that the mass media were the effective tool to promote cultural and economic relations among the nations.
“There is the need for sharing information and knowledge, and building consensus for better cooperation between the Chinese and South Asian media,” said Yu.
Wang Chaowen, president of Cankaoxiaoxi, Xinhua News Agency, underlined the need for technical support, exchanges of experiences, media training and cooperation to enhance the people-to-people bonhomie in the region.
President of Yunnan Media Group, He Yaning said that Yunnan and South Asian had many things to share between them.
He suggested setting up media communications channels and sound interactive mechanism, conducting media personnel training and exploring common ground to enhance understanding to realise the motto of the Forum.
The Forum was attended by the media persons, officials and experts from the seven South Asian countries.
Meanwhile, speaking at the roundtable entitled ‘Deepen cooperation, work together to promote regional inclusive development,’ National News Agency of Nepal, Harihar Adhikary said that the media had a critical role to spur regional inclusive development. “The prosperity of one nation should not be the cause of suffering others. It must encompass every nation.”

Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar want progress in building economic corridor

By UNB  AKM MOINUDDIN  JUNE 11, 2019

Bangladesh, China, India and Myanmar (BCIM) on Tuesday felt the necessity to further deepen cooperation and promote substantial progress in building the BCIM Economic Corridor (BCIM EC) to promote regional peace, stability and development.

The four countries think that they should continue to improve the BCIM cooperation mechanism and the "government-support and multi-track" mode of operation.

The countries came up with the understanding at the13th meeting of Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar Regional Cooperation Forum held along the Fuxian Lake here.

Representatives of the four countries signed a 12-point joint statement after the meeting.

Commerce Minister Tipu Munshi signed the statement on behalf of Bangladesh.

The People's Government of Yunnan Province hosted the meeting.

The four countries emphasised that comprehensive connectivity in roads, railways, waterways, aviation, energy and digital sectors will greatly enhance regional competitiveness, according to the joint statement.

They said efforts should be made to optimise the policy environment for connectivity and facilitate the efficient, systemic and orderly cross-border flow of goods and services.

The countries at the meeting were of the view that the BCIM Forum serves as an important platform for the four countries to advance mutual understanding, policy dialogue, alignment of development strategies and exchanges between all sectors to promote regional peace, stability and development.

They noted that the infrastructure development faces the challenge of inadequate capital investment.

The countries expressed willingness to work together to innovate the application of public-private partnership in conformity with the laws and regulations of the countries to efficiently utilise the financial resources.

They agreed to consult relevant stakeholders to hold a second BCIM Car Rally at the second half of the year aiming to enhance mutual understanding and cross-border friendship.

The countries called for upholding multilateralism and free trade and further strengthening regional economic and trade exchanges, promoting investment cooperation and cross-border logistics.

The four countries commended the role of BCIM Business Council and encourage entrepreneurs of the four countries to participate in all kinds of international economic and trade exhibitions in this region.

The parties agreed to further deepen cooperation in the social, cultural and education sectors.

They also reached a consensus to strengthen regional capacity building to provide intellectual support and services to regional economic and social development.

The four countries agreed that cooperation in the fields of science and technology, public health, tourism, environmental protection, climate change and poverty reduction should also be promoted.

Earlier in his opening remarks, Minister Tipu Munshi said, "We must see BCIM EC much go beyond the initial concept of point-to-point connectivity."

Vice Chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference Gao Feng, head of BCIM EC Joint Study Group Rajeet Mitter and Deputy Director General of Myanmar Foreign Affairs Ministry Win Zeyar Tun led Chinese, Indian and Myanmar delegations addressed the meeting respectively.

Prof Rehman Sobhan, Bangladesh Ambassador in Beijing M Fazul Karim and Consul General of Bangladesh in Kunming Md Tauhedul Islam were, among others, present.

孟中印缅论坛看向电子商务及新贸易模式

印度斯坦时报 Sutirtho Patranobis 2019年6月13日

相隔四年后,第十三届孟中印缅区域合作论坛发表的联合声明没有提到孟中印缅经济走廊是中国雄心勃勃的“一带一路”倡议的一部分。

一个试图使停滞不前的孟加拉国、中国、印度、缅甸经济走廊复活的研究团体建议,该走廊应该专注于发展电子商务,而不是等待基础设施的出现。

在四年后的今天,来自四个国家的学者和官员相聚第十三届孟中印缅区域合作论坛,并于周二发表联合声明,声明中没有提到这条走廊是中国雄心勃勃的“一带一路”倡议的一部分。

该论坛于周二在云南省西南部玉溪市举行。

这条走廊设想了一条从云南昆明到印度加尔各答的贸易路线,途经缅甸曼德勒和孟加拉吉大港。

此次论坛的主题为“新时代·新机遇—孟中印缅地区合作的新十年”,这一主题本身表明走廊需要全新的面貌。

在今年四月于北京举行的第二届“一带一路”峰会上,中国将孟中印缅经济走廊从“一带一路”的35条走廊名单中去除。

人们猜测,这个促进和建设孟中印缅的多边动力已经失效,该走廊已经走到尽头。

外交部发言人耿爽周一试图消除这种疑虑。他在周一的例行新闻发布会上表示:“……孟中印缅经济走廊没有被放弃。事实上,第十三届孟中印缅论坛正在中国云南省举行。”

联合声明称,2019年标志着孟中印缅合作机制建立20周年—这多少承认了20年来,在建设这条走廊的道路上并未取得什么进展。

会议集中讨论了四个议题:提升论坛机制化合作水平推动孟中印缅综合互联互通合作迈上新台阶提升经贸投资便利化水平,增强区域经济整体竞争力,以及丰富社会人文领域合作的内容和外延

联合声明称:“应进一步深化合作共识,在考虑各方具体情况下推动孟中印缅经济走廊建设取得实质性进展,并不断便利优化互联互通政策性环境,促进货物和服务更加便捷地跨境高效、系统、有序流动。”

声明还表示:“各方注意到,基础设施发展面临资金投入不足的挑战。愿共同努力根据各国法律和法规创新运用公私合作模式,提高资金使用效率。”

联合声明建议加强这四个国家之间的电子商务联系。“各方呼吁,应维护多边主义和自由贸易,进一步加强区域经贸往来、推动投资合作,发展跨境物流,支持各国企业尤其是中小企业积极利用电子商务等贸易新模式,开展跨境贸易。”

孟中印缅经济走廊的进展还有待观察。现任外交部副部长罗照辉在5月份的《印度斯坦时报》上以中国驻印度特使的身份写道:“中印在孟中印缅框架下开展了合作。在武汉峰会上,莫迪总理指出,应加速孟中印缅建设。我们预计联合研究小组(官方小组)第四次会议将于今年年末举行,以完成联合研究报告。”

 

Look at e-comm, new models of trade, says forum looking to revive BCIM

Sutirtho Patranobis  Hindustan Times  June 13,2019

 

Meeting after a gap of four years, the joint statement released by the 13th BCIM Regional Cooperation Forum didn’t make any mention of the corridor as part of China’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The Bangladesh, China, India, Myanmar economic corridor (BCIM-EC) should focus on developing e-commerce instead of waiting for physical infrastructure to come up, a leading study group looking into reviving the seemingly stillborn trade route has suggested.

Meeting after a gap of four years, the joint statement released on Tuesday by the 13th BCIM Regional Cooperation Forum, comprising scholars and officials from the four countries, didn’t make any mention of the corridor as part of China’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

The Forum met in Yuxi in the southwestern Yunnan province on Tuesday.

The corridor envisages a trade route between Kunming in Yunnan and Kolkata in India that passes through Mandalay in Myanmar and Chittagong in Bangladesh.

Tuesday’s forum focused on the theme: “New Era New Opportunities for A New Decade of BCIM Cooperation” – the theme itself an indication that the corridor needs a fresh look.

China had dropped the BCIM-EC from the list of 35 corridors under the BRI, released at the end of the 2nd BRI Forum held in Beijing in April.

It had led to speculation that the multilateral impetus to promote and build the BCIM had fizzled and that it was the end of the road for the initiative.

Foreign ministry spokesperson, Geng Shuang tried to allay the doubts on Monday.

At the regular press briefing on Monday, he said “…BCIM has not been abandoned. It is very much on board… In fact, the 13th meeting of the BCIM forum to discuss the progress is being held on the sidelines of the China, South Asia Business Forum currently being held in Yunnan province,” he had said.

The joint statement said that 2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the BCIM cooperation mechanism – sort of admitting that nothing much has moved on the ground to build the corridor for two decades.

The meeting focussed on four topics: Improving cooperation mechanism of the BCIM Forum, stronger cooperation on BCIM comprehensive connectivity, trade and investment facilitation for stronger competitiveness of the regional economy, and enriching BCIM cooperation in social and cultural sectors.

“It is necessary to further deepen cooperation and promote substantial progress in the building of the BCIM EC while considering the specific circumstances of the Parties (the four countries). Efforts should be made to optimise the policy environment for the connectivity and to facilitate the efficient, systematic and orderly cross-border flow of goods and services,” the joint statement said.

The statement added: “The Parties noted that the infrastructure development faces the challenge of inadequate capital investment. In view of this, the Parties are willing to work together to innovate the application of public-private partnerships in conformity with the laws and regulations of the Parties to efficiently utilise financial resources”.

The joint statement suggested stronger e-commerce ties between the four countries.

“The Parties called for upholding multilateralism and free-trade and further strengthening regional economic and trade exchanges, promoting investment cooperation and cross-border logistics. The Parties agreed to support enterprises, especially SMEs, of the four countries to utilise e-commerce and other new models for developing cross-border trade,” it added.

It remains to be seen how the BCIM-EC progresses. Luo Zhaohui, who is now vice foreign minister, wrote as the Chinese envoy to India in May in the Hindustan Times: “China and India have conducted cooperation under the framework of BCIM. During the Wuhan Summit, PM Narendra Modi pointed out that the BCIM construction should be speeded up. We expect that the fourth meeting of the Joint Study Group (an official group) would be held later this year to complete the joint study report”.

借助一带一路,巴基斯坦在中国博览会发现贸易商机

巴基斯坦联合通讯社 6月14日

为期一周,在中国云南省所举办的2019年商洽会上展出了大量产品,这显示出了在中巴经济走廊建设的影响下,中巴未来合作机会和中国对外贸易潜力巨大,巴基斯坦商界对此表示高度重视。

2019南亚东南亚国家商品展暨投资贸易洽谈会(以下简称2019商洽会)于6月12日-18日在昆明滇池国际会展中心举办,吸引了来自周边地区的贸易和商界各参展商参展,既有国有企业,也有民营企业。他们在此次展会上展出了大量商品,以进一步夯实客户基础。

本次商洽会设有巴基斯坦展位200个,吸引了成千上万的顾客前来参观。展出的商品包括纺织品、珠宝、皮革产品、传统手工艺品等。

此次商洽会的目标是进一步强化中国国家主席习近平所提出的“一带一路倡议”中云南所扮演的关键角色;与此同时,巴基斯坦在中巴经济走廊建设中也正在推进一个试点项目。云南是面向南亚和东南亚的辐射中心。

巴基斯坦工商业主席达鲁·汗·阿克扎伊,伊斯兰副市长赛义德·泽山·纳克维, 商界和媒体界的代表们都参加了商洽会开幕式。

本次商洽会有6大主要展区,17个主题馆,约74000个标准展位,有来自74个国家的商业团体和国际组织参展。

商洽会也吸引了国内外超过3300名企业家。参展企业中,近一半来自海外。

商洽会现场,在与巴基斯坦联合通讯社首席记者阿卜杜勒·贾尔巴·泽里克亚交流时,伊斯兰副市长赛义德·泽山·纳克维表示,商洽会不仅会进一步释放巴基斯坦在贸易和投资领域的潜力,同时也将加强巴基斯坦同周边国家,尤其是中国的经济关系。

他表示,巴基斯坦是中巴经济走廊建设中的有力推动者,当前,将本国产品推向国际市场以吸引更多的投资者恰逢其时,同时,也能从其他国家学习到很多成功经验。

在为期7天的商洽会中,在玉溪抚仙湖畔也将同时举办第二届中国-南亚合作论坛、中国-南亚媒体合作论坛、第14届中国-南亚商务论坛和第7届中国南亚东南亚智库论坛。

巴基斯坦工商业联合会主席达鲁·汗·阿克扎伊在第14届中国-南亚商务论坛和第2届中国-南亚合作论坛上发表了演讲。亚洲合作论坛由中国外交部和中国国际贸易促进委员会云南分会在昆明共同举办。达鲁·汗·阿克扎伊表示,巴基斯坦商界视中国为老朋友,中国是他们在经济发展过程中的重要伙伴。

中国企业参与了巴基斯坦的技术和金融援助项目,这是双方友好关系的生动反映。这种关系是在互信、长久的自信和真诚的基础上建立起来的。

达鲁·汗·阿克扎伊在论坛上强调,巴基斯坦是一个可信赖的,同时也是最适宜外国资本投资的国家。外国投资者在巴基斯坦可以享受到友好的商业政策所带来的好处。

他认为,中国-南亚合作论坛为南亚国家合资企业开展合作方面提供了良好契机,也为南亚国家的商品提供了展示的平台。此次商洽会吸引了来自74个国家约4000家公司参展。

他向在场客户解释道,毗邻中巴经济走廊的工业园区为所有参与国提高竞争力创造了条件,也使这些国家能够以更低的价格将产品出口至非洲和中东地区。

在玉溪抚仙湖畔举办的中国-南亚媒体合作论坛上,巴基斯坦驻成都总领事默罕默德·幕达希尔·蒂普说,在经济发展过程中,媒体在国家、政府、社会和民营经济等领域都扮演着重要的角色。

他高度赞赏了中巴经济走廊建设中的项目,并表示,中国政府已经在巴基斯坦基础设施建设领域投资了近620亿美元。

他说,通过提升巴基斯坦资深记者在媒体论坛上的参与度,数百万巴基斯坦民众将进一步了解云南快速发展的现状,以及此次论坛所创造的机会。云南与巴基斯坦、南亚和东南亚的关系也将得到进一步深化。

他认为,云南的商业和旅游业前途光明,对巴基斯坦来说有着巨大的吸引力,这一点应该通过媒体得到充分强调。

中国网络社会组织联合会副会长、新华网董事长、总裁田舒斌表示,南亚与中国合起来的总人口占到了全球总额人口的40%,这就要求南亚和中国在国际媒体论坛中要有足够的话语权,而这一目标的实现有赖于在媒体领域中不断深化的合作与创新。借助社交媒体和现代网络技术,当今社会所面临的挑战和问题便能迎刃而解。

媒体论坛举办了“融合创新,开创互联互通新局面”圆桌对话。巴基斯坦《新闻报》资深编辑哈桑·谢赫扎德在发言时表示,媒体的影响力与适应其所在的治理体系的适应力息息相关。中国和巴基斯坦虽然治理体系不同,但有一点是共同的,两国的媒体机制都充满活力。

他认为,设施联通将促进创新。事实证明,通过使各国保持文化和思想的独特性,“一带一路”倡议成为了一个实现包容性发展的平台。

巴基斯坦国家电视台节目主持人亚希尔·拉赫曼高度赞扬了媒体合作论坛的举办。他表示,与其过分纠结分歧与不同,不如求同存异,共谋发展。媒体应通过强化国家之间的相同点,为发展营造一个和谐的环境。

Around 200 stalls set up by Pakistani business community were attracting thousands of the visitors taking interest in Pakistani products including textiles, jewellery, leather products, cultural and traditional handicrafts.

The objective of the expo was to highlight Yunnan’s key role in the President Xi’s Belt and Road Initiative under which Pakistan was also undertaking a flagship project of CPEC. Yunnan is the gateway to Southeast and South Asia.

The inaugural ceremony was attended among others by President of Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) Engineer Daroo Khan Achakzai, Deputy Mayor of Islamabad Syed Zeeshan Naqvi and renowned businessmen and media representatives.

The expo featured six major exhibition areas with 17 pavilions and around 74,000 booths set up by the business entities and international organizations from 74 countries.
The expo has attracted more than 3,300 entrepreneurs from home and abroad. Among the participating enterprises, nearly half were overseas.

Talking to APP’s Special Correspondent A J Zekria at the venue of the expo, Islamabad Deputy Mayor Zeeshan Naqvi said the expo would not only help highlight the trade and investment potential of Pakistan, but also strengthen economic ties with the regional countries particularly China.

He said as Pakistan was fast executing CPEC, it was high time the country introduced its products in international markets to attract investment besides learning from success stories of other countries.

The seven-day event also marked the holding of the 2nd China-South Asia Cooperation Forum and China-South Asia Media Forum at Yuxi resort city, the 14th China South Asia Business Forum and 7th China South Asia Southeast Asia Think Tank Forum.
President of FPCCI Engineer Daroo Khan Achakzai while addressing the 14th China South Asia Business Forum and the 2nd China South

Asia Cooperation Forum organized by Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and China Council for Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Yunnan Council in Kunming, said the Pakistan’s business community perceived China as a time-tested friend and a very important partner in its economic development.

The involvement of Chinese enterprises, both in terms of technical and financial assistance in several projects of Pakistan is reflective of the cordial relations based on mutual interest, unstinting confidence and sincerity.

Engr Daroo Khan Achakzai while addressing the forum said Pakistan was viable and most favorable nation for foreign investment and the foreign investors could enjoy the benefits of Pakistan’s business friendly policies.

He said China South Asia Business Forum provided an opportunity to South Asian countries to cooperate and collaborate for joint ventures and market their products as the event was being attended by around 4,000 companies from 74 countries.

He told the audience that industrial zones being established adjacent to CPEC route would provide opportunity to all the participating countries to improve their competitiveness and export their products to Africa and Middle East Region at a lower cost.
Addressing the media forum at Yuxi, Consul General of Pakistan at Chengdu Muhammad Mudassir Tipu said in economic development, media could become a key partner of the state, government, civil society and private sector.

Highlighting CPEC projects, he said the Chinese government had invested nearly $62 billion for infrastructure development of Pakistan.

He said through enhanced participation of senior Pakistani journalists in the forum, millions of people in Pakistan would know about the fast development of Yunnan and the opportunities being created there to deepen its relations with Pakistan, Southeast and South Asia.

He said business and tourism prospects of Yunnan province possessed greater attraction for Pakistanis which needed to be highlighted through media.

Vice President of China Federation of Internet Societies and President of Xinhuanet Tian Shubin noted that South Asia and China were home to 40 per cent of the world’s total population which required robust representation at the international media fora through close cooperation and innovations in media sector.
Through use of social media and modern technology gadgets, modern day challenges could be countered, he opined.

Speaking on ‘integrating innovation and creating new prospects of connectivity,’ Hassan Shahzad, a senior journalist from Pakistan, said the power of media lay in its capability to adapt to the system of governance in which it worked. China and Pakistan had different systems of governance but one of their commonalities was their vibrant media mechanism.

He said infrastructure connectivity was going to enhance innovation. The BRI could prove to be an inclusive club of nations by keeping their individual cultural and ideological uniqueness. Being open and trustworthy could remove barriers to innovations and sharing of ideas, he added.

Yasir Rehman, an anchorperson from Pakistan Television, while highlighting the significance of the media forum said instead of indulging into the differences, media should create a harmonious environment through highlighting the commonalities among the nations.

 

 

昆明见闻和关于香格里拉的几点思考

印度《一周》 普拉萨南

尽管我只有一个半小时的时间逛了逛中国云南省的省会城市昆明,但我仍然充分利用这短短的一点时间去看了看昆明著名的东西塔和西寺塔。这两座塔尽管不如那些热门景点出名,但曾经也是云南通往外界的门户。此外,塔附近还有一座近日楼,虽鲜为人知,但非常漂亮。这座楼坐落在两塔之间,周围是一个保存完好的商业中心,路面铺着石头。

首先我想聊聊这两座佛塔。这两座佛塔是三个建筑中最古老的。东寺塔和西寺塔中间间隔约200英尺左右。据说它们建造于南诏国时期。南诏国是独立的政权,曾以昆明为起点统治了整个云南地区,而中国的唐朝于公元618年-907年统治中国。据说在元朝时期(公元1271年-1368年),东寺塔遭到了地震的破坏,不过随后就进行了重建。

由南诏政权独立统治云南的局面在公元1253年时由于元朝或者蒙古国的入侵而结束。但昆明继续发展繁荣。威尼斯旅行家马可·波罗曾经到达过印度和忽必烈王朝。他曾提到过一个叫做“雅池”(音译)的城市,这个城市被认为就是昆明。

在明朝时期(公元1368年-1644年)和清朝时期(公元1644年-1911/12年),昆明市云南省发展较好的城市。昆明的市中心建有“金马”和“碧鸡”两座牌坊。据说它们修建于明朝时间,但我觉得说它们在明朝时间得以修缮更为合适。“金马”和“碧鸡”两座牌坊因其所面向的两座山而得以命名。“金马”坊上刻有一匹马的形象,而“碧鸡”坊上刻有一只雄鸡的形象。人们认为这两个形象分别代表太阳神和月亮神。由于两座牌坊分别朝向东面和西面,我们认为其中一座牌坊寓意黎明,而另一座寓意黄昏。

昆明在1912年的时候成为“昆明县”,1928年时成为“昆明市”。1906年-1910年,昆明通过铁路与外界联通。这条铁路通向法属印度支那的越南海防地区。20世纪30年代,昆明通过公路与重庆、四川和云南以东的贵阳联通。1937年中国抗日战争期间,成千上万的中国人来到了昆明寻求避难。这些人将他们用于工业生产的机器设备也带到了昆明一起安家落户,远离日本炮弹的袭击。这为昆明的工业化进程播下了种子。

不过,同印度的历史古迹一样,中国的历史古迹也常常面临着类似的问题。有一些寺院据说是古代时期建造的,但它们其实是在中世纪甚至是现代时期才建造的,或者进行过修缮。与此类似,中国的很多历史古迹也是重建或者经过修缮的。比如说近日楼,这是一座类似寺院结构的建筑,坐落在东寺塔和西寺塔之间的商业区。据说它最先建造在别的地方,但在后共产主义革命时期在其现在所坐落的地方重新修建。

的确,这些古迹虽保存完好,但它们所蕴含的历史却常常丢失了。此外,由于中国会建造一些仿古的建筑,使得旅游者们常常会将它们与历史古迹相混淆。

这不就是在香格里拉发生的事情吗?1933年,美国作家詹姆斯·希尔顿所著的《消失的地平线》一书出版。书中,他描绘了香格里拉一座神秘的寺院,这里有着保存最完好的东西方文明。这座寺院坐落在卡尔拉尔山的一个山谷中。人们已在此居住了上百年。这本书向人们推广了一个具有异国风情的东方。

希尔顿表示,他的灵感来自于云南省中甸县,这是一个藏民区,距昆明约一小时航程。2001年,云南省将中甸更名为香格里拉,以吸引更多的游客。现在,有很多人都相信世界上的确有香格里拉这个地方。

我想,我这次在昆明已经很接近香格里拉了。这也是书中主人公休·康维在香格里拉的奇遇。香格里拉离我很近,却又很遥远。我仍然在读这本书,并且一直在想,他是否第二次到达了那里?

Kunming Moments and a few Shangri la thoughts

Since I had only an hour and half for sightseeing in Kunming, the capital of China’s Yunnan Province, I used those few precious minutes to see the famous East and West Pagodas, the lesser-known two gateways, and the hardly-known but most beautiful Jinrilou building that stands on the pristinely flagstone-paved mall that runs between the pagodas.
First about the pagodas, which are the oldest among the three sets of monuments. The East Pagoda and the West Pagoda stand about 200 feet from each other. These are said to have been built by the independent Nanzhao kings who ruled Yunnan region from Kunming, while the Tang dynasty was ruling in China (618-907). An earthquake during the Yuan dynasty period (1271 – 1368) is said to have toppled the East Pagoda, which was rebuilt shortly afterwards.

Yunnan’s independent status under the Nanzhaos ended with the Yuan or Mongol invasion in 1253. Yet Kunming city continued to flourish. Marco Polo, the Venetian traveller who visited India and also the court of Kubla Khan, mentions a city called Yachi which is believed to be the same as Kunming.
During the Ming (1368–1644) and the Qing (1644–1911/12) dynasties, Kunming was the seat of the superior prefecture of Yunnan. The two identical gateways are said to have been built during the Ming period, but we may safely assume that they have since been renovated. They are called Jinma and Biji archways after the two mountains which they face. One gateway has a horse image engraved on it, and the other has a rooster image; these two images are believed to represent the Sun and the Moon gods. Since the gates face the two cardinal  directions of east and west, we may assume that one is the gate of dawn and the other is the gate of dusk.

Kunming was made a county in 1912, and became a municipality in 1928. Kunming opened to the world with building of the rail line to the Haiphong in French Indochina (Vietnam) in 1906–10. In the 1930s it got road-linked to Chongqing (then in Sichuan) and Guiyang to the east. During the Sino-Japanese war of 1937, several thousand Chinese took refuge in the city. They brought with them their industrial machines which they installed in Kunming, away from the range of Japanese bombers. This sowed the seeds of the city’s industrialization.
The problem with Chinese monuments is the same as what we face often with Indian temples. Several temples are claimed to be ancient, but the structure would have been built or renovated during the medieval or even modern period. Similarly, most heritage monuments of China have been rebuilt or renovated. Take the Jinrilou, a temple-like structure that stands on the mall that runs between the two pagodas. This is said to have been standing elsewhere but re-erected at the present spot in the post-Communist Revolution period.

Indeed, the monuments are maintained in pristine condition, but their historicity is often lost. Moreover, since the Chinese also build some new buildings, especially ethnic eateries, in old style, travellers often mistake them for heritage buildings.
Isn’t that what happened to Shangri La? In his 1933 novel Lost Horizon, James Hilton created the imaginary monastery of Shangri La which preserved the best of eastern and western civilizations. He set it in the lap of a valley in Karakal mountain where people lived beyond hundred years. The book popularized the idea of the exotic east.
Hilton is said to have been inspired by Zhongdian county of Tibetans in Yunnan province, which is about an hour’s flight from Kunming. In 2001, the Yunnan government renamed Zhongdian as Shangri La, just to attract tourists. Now several people believe that there indeed was a Shangri La.
Well, I can say I got close to Shangri La. That was also the adventure of Shangri La for the protagonist Hugh Conway – Shangri La was so close, yet so far. I still read the book and continue to wonder – did he reach there a second time?

达赖喇嘛和西藏独立运动对尼泊尔意味着什么?

尼泊尔  Kathmandupati

 

最近在尼泊尔,两件与达赖喇嘛相关事件引起了媒体的关注。首先,政府批评了一家尼泊尔官方媒体关于达赖喇嘛的新闻。第二,两名尼泊尔议员赴欧洲参加了一个与所谓的西藏独立运动有关的会议。

达赖喇嘛对尼泊尔意味着什么?

达赖喇嘛统治下的西藏是一个奴隶社会

逃到印度后,达赖喇嘛和他在达兰萨拉所谓的流亡政府每天都在谈论宗教自由和人权。但是达赖喇嘛统治时期西藏的真实情况是什么样子?

从人类文明诞生之初,人类社会逐渐经历了原始社会、奴隶社会和封建社会。然而,在1959年之前,西藏仍处于奴隶制社会。在封建农奴制下,占西藏人口95%以上的农奴和奴隶没有人身自由,受到上层贵族和僧侣的压迫和剥削。为了维持他们残酷的统治,奴隶主对敢于反抗的奴隶施以残忍的惩罚,如割去眼睛、手脚和剥皮。

根据一份古老的西藏档案,在达赖喇嘛生日庆典的准备工作中,寺庙要求当地农奴主提供“一个潮湿的人体肠道、两个人头、一张人体皮肤和各种人和动物的血液”。虽然只有5%的人口生活奢侈,但95%的西藏农奴像动物一样生活。旧西藏政权的残暴超出了现代人的想象,

尽管肉体折磨很可怕,旧西藏的统治阶级利用宗教对农奴进行精神控制,阻止他们要求平等。僧侣们告诉他们,如果你敢追求更好的生活,你将不会服从命运的循环,下一个生活将会比现在更加困难。

达赖喇嘛及其所谓的西藏独立运动与中美关系的起伏密切相关

2015年,达赖喇嘛的二哥加洛·通杜普出版了回忆录,作为达赖喇嘛和美国人之间的中间人,他揭露了许多秘密。

加洛·通杜普写道,当中国人民解放军于1950年开始进军西藏时,他悄悄地逃往印度,因为他认为如果达赖喇嘛反叛,他必须提前准备一条逃生路线。在印度,他一直与美国中情局人员保持联系,并计划利用空投将无线电和武器带入中国。在中央情报局的训练下,两名藏人设法找到达赖喇嘛,并陪同他逃跑。在逃亡过程中,他们一直在使用无线电台与印度沟通。

事实上,从一开始,美国就把西藏作为遏制中国发展的一张牌。美国对达赖喇嘛的支持与中美关系的起伏密切相关。如上所述,美国在20世纪50年代初开始与达赖喇嘛合作,并计划支持西藏的武装叛乱,当时中美两国正在朝鲜进行二战以来最大规模的战争。

20世纪70年代开始,随着冷战进入“苏联进攻,美国防御”阶段,美国需要中国的合作来与苏联竞争,结束越南战争。在国务卿亨利·基辛格和尼克松总统访华,中美关系正常化提上日程后,中情局放弃了对中尼边境“坎帕游击队”的支持。随后,在尼泊尔国王和军队的大力帮助下,尼泊尔军队消灭了令尼泊尔和中国共同头痛的“汗巴游击队”。

1989年,冷战结束时,以美国为首的西方国家开始对社会主义阵营施加压力,希望消除地球上的社会主义制度。那一年,在西方的帮助下,达赖喇嘛获得了所谓的诺贝尔和平奖。

2008年北京奥运会之前,3月14日,西藏分裂分子在拉萨街头勾结闹事,让北京难堪,并向西方表明他们仍有所作为。他们在街上杀害无辜的人,烧毁房屋,放火焚烧车辆,但所有这些都被达赖喇嘛领导的西藏分裂分子描述为“和平示威”。

既然中美关系正从合作转向竞争,美国人将如何再次打出西藏牌?

达赖喇嘛对尼泊尔意味着什么?

世界上大多数国家都承认一个中国政策,认为西藏和台湾是中国不可分割的一部分。甚至支持所谓西藏独立运动的美国人也承认西藏和台湾也是中国的一部分。在2009年的一次采访中,加洛·通杜普公开表示,美国只能给中国制造麻烦,他们对西藏没有长期政策。

不仅达赖喇嘛周围的人看到了西藏问题的本质,印度人也越来越多地将达赖喇嘛视为改善与中国关系的负面资产。2017年,东兰危机后,中印关系进入上升轨道。为了讨好印度政府,防止印度忘记他们,达赖喇嘛和所谓的流亡政府计划于2018年在德里举行“感谢印度”活动,纪念达赖喇嘛飞往印度60周年。当时试图改善与中国关系的印度政府命令所有印度政府官员不要参与达赖喇嘛的活动,这让达赖喇嘛颜面尽失,最终迫使达赖喇嘛取消在德里举行活动的计划。

2019年6月13日,中国习近平主席在比什凯克会见了印度新当选总理纳伦德拉·莫迪。会见中,习近平主席表示,北京愿与新德里一道,推进中印两国更紧密的发展伙伴关系,强调中印应加强合作,化解分歧。同时,作为发展中国家和新兴市场的重要代表,中国和印度应该共同维护发展中国家的自由贸易、多边主义和发展权。与此同时,莫迪总理表示,他去年在武汉与习近平的会晤非常成功,这有助于双边关系取得新的进展。他还表示,印方准备与中国合作,加强高层交流,加强战略沟通。他呼吁双方在广泛领域促进双边关系,探索新的合作领域,妥善处理分歧。

尼泊尔王朝的开国国王普里什维·纳拉扬·沙阿曾经说过,尼泊尔是夹在中国和印度两块巨石之间的山药。从那时起,保持中印之间的平衡一直是尼泊尔外交的一项重要原则,这一原则一直延续到今天。在这一原则的指导下,“绝不允许任何外部势力利用尼泊尔领土伤害尼泊尔的邻国”已成为尼泊尔外交实践的一个突出特点。

虽然尼泊尔的内部因素是尼泊尔事务的最终决定力量,但作为一个地缘政治局势特殊的内陆国,中印关系对尼泊尔的影响不容忽视。历史一再表明,当中印关系紧张时,尼泊尔在中间会感到不舒服,当中印关系改善时,尼泊尔会得到更多的外交空间。

随着中印关系的不断改善,尼泊尔的外部环境也将大大改善。对于长期遭受政治动荡的尼泊尔人来说,这是一个抓住战略机遇改善经济建设、社会发展和人民生活水平的好时机。达赖喇嘛在这个过程中是什么意思?亲爱的读者,我想你已经有了自己的答案。

What does the Dalai lama and Tibetan independence movement mean to Nepal?

Ning Lin  Kathmandupati

Recently, in Nepal, two things related to the Dalai Lama drew media attention. First, the government criticized the news about the Dalai Lama in a state media of Nepal. Second, two Nepalese parliamentarians went to Europe to attend a meeting related to the so-called Tibetan independence movement.

What does the Dalai Lama mean to Nepal?

Tibet under the Dalai Lama is a slave society

After fleeing to India, the Dalai Lama and his so-called government in exile in Dharamshala talk about religious freedom and human rights every day. But what was the real situation in Tibet when the Dalai Lama ruled?

From the beginning of the birth of human civilization, human society gradually experienced the primitive society, slave society and feudal society. However, before 1959, Tibet was still in a slavery society. Under the feudal serfdom system, serfs and slaves, who accounted for more than 95 percent of the Tibetan population, had no personal freedom and were oppressed and exploited by nobles and monks from the upper classes. In order to maintain their cruel rule, slave owners used such cruel punishments as cut out eyes, hands or feet and flaying skin on slaves who dared to resist.

In preparation for a ceremonial celebration of the Dalai Lama’s birthday, the temple asked local serf owners to offer“a wet human intestine, two human heads, a human skin and the blood of various people and animals”, according to an old Tibetan archive. While only 5 percent of the population lived in luxury, 95 percent of the Tibetan serfs lived like animals.The brutality of the old Tibetan regime was beyond modern imagination

As horrific as the physical torture was, the ruling class in old Tibet used religion to exert mental control over serfs, keeping them from demanding equality. The monks tell them that if you dare to pursue a better life, you will not obey the cycle of fate, and the next life will be more difficult than the present.

The Dalai Lama and his so-called Tibetan independence movement have been closely linked to ups and downs in China-US relations

 In 2015, GyaloThondup, the Dalai Lama’s second brother, published a memoiras an intermediary between the Dalai Lama and the Americans, he has uncovered many secrets.

Gyalo Thondup wroteWhen the people’s liberation army began a march into Tibet in 1950, he quietly went to India. He considered that if the Dalai Lama had rebelled, he would have to devise an escape route in advance. In India, he has been in contact with the CIA personnel. The plan was to use air drops to bring radio and weapons into China. With CIA training, two Tibetans managed to reach the Dalai Lama and accompany him on his escape. While on the run, they have been using radio stations to communicate with India.

In fact, from the beginning, the United States has been using Tibet as a card to contain China’s development. And the U.S. support for the Dalai Lama is closely related to the ups and downs of China-U.S. relations. As noted above, the United States began working with the Dalai Lama and planning to support an armed insurgency in Tibet in the early 1950s, when China and the United States were engaged in the biggest war since World War II in Korea.

Starting in the 1970s, the United States needed China’s cooperation in competing with the Soviet Union and ending the Vietnam war as the cold war entered its ” The soviets attacked, the Americans defended ” phase. After secretary of state Henry Kissinger and President Nixon made visits to China, and the normalization of relations between China and the United States was on the agenda, the CIA gave up its support to the“Kham pa guerrillas”on the China-Nepal border. Subsequently, with the great help of the king and the army of Nepal, the “Kham pa guerrillas”, a common headache for Nepal and China, were eliminated by the Nepalese army.

In 1989, at the end of the cold war, the western countries, led by the United States, began to exert pressure on the socialist camp, hoping to eliminate the socialist system on the planet. That year, with western help, the Dalai Lama won the so-called Nobel peace prize.

In 2008, before the Beijing Olympics, Tibetan separatists from inside and outside Tibet colluded in rioting on the streets of Lhasa on March 14th, to embarrass Beijing and show the west that they still had something to offer. They killed innocent people in the street, burned houses and set vehicles ablaze, but all this was described only as a “peaceful demonstration” by the Tibetan separatists, led by the Dalai Lama.

Now that China-U.S. relations are shifting from cooperation to competition, how will Americans play the Tibet card again?

What does the Dalai Lama mean to Nepal?

Most of the countries in the world recognize the one-China policy and regard Tibet and Taiwan as the inseparable parts of China. Even the Americans behind the so-called Tibetan independence movement recognize that Tibet and Taiwan are part of China, too. In a 2009 interview, GyaloThondup said publicly, the Americans can only make trouble for China, they don’t have a long-term policy toward Tibet.

It is not only those around the Dalai Lama who see the nature of the Tibetan issue, but also Indians who increasingly see the Dalai Lama as a negative asset in improving relations with China. In 2017, after the Donglam crisis, China-India relations entered an upward track. In order to curry favor with the Indian government and prevent India from forgetting them, the Dalai Lama and the so-called government-in-exile plan to hold a “thank India” event in Delhi in 2018 to mark the 60th anniversary of the Dalai Lama’s flight to India. The Indian government, which was trying to improve relations with China at that time, ordered all Indian government officials not to participate in the activities of the Dalai Lama, which made the Dalai Lama lose face and finally forced the Dalai Lama to cancel his plans to hold the event in Delhi.

On June 13, 2019, Chinese President Xi Jinping met with India’s newly elected prime minister Narendra Modi in Bishkek. During the meeting, President Xi Jinping said that Beijing is ready to join New Delhi in pushing forward a closer development partnership between the two sides, stressed that China and India should strengthen cooperation and manage differences. At the same time, as important representatives of developing countries and emerging markets, China and India should jointly uphold free trade, multilateralism and the right to development of developing countries. In the same time, prime minister Modi said his meeting with Xi last year in Wuhan was very successful, which has helped achieve new progress in bilateral ties, adding that the Indian side is ready to work with China in intensifying high-level exchanges and bolstering strategic communication. He called on the two sides to promote bilateral ties in broad areas, explore new sectors for cooperation, and properly handle their differences.

Prithvi Narayan Shah, the founding king of Nepal’s Shah dynasty, once said that Nepal is a yam sandwiched between two huge rocks, China and India. Since then, maintaining a balance between China and India has been an important principle of Nepal’s diplomacy, which continues to this day. Under the guidance of this principle, “never allow any external forces to use Nepal’s territory to do harm to Nepal’s neighbors” has become an outstanding feature of Nepal’s diplomatic practice.

Although the Internal factors in Nepal is the ultimate decisive force in Nepal’s affairs, as a landlocked country with special geopolitical situation, the influence of China-India relations on Nepal cannot be ignored. History has shown time and again that when relations between China and India are tense, Nepal will feel uncomfortable in the middle, when China-India relations improve, Nepal will be given more diplomatic space.

As China-India relations continue to improve, Nepal’s external environment will also be greatly improved. For Nepalis, who have suffered from political unrest for a long time, this is a good time to seize the strategic opportunity to improve economic construction, social development and people’s living standards. What does the Dalai Lama mean in this process? I think, dear reader, you have your own answer already.

 

 

 

媒体应讲述中巴经济走廊的真实故事

中国经济网采访外媒    2019年6月20日

昆明,6月20日(中国经济网)——巴基斯坦国家电视台主持人亚瑟·拉赫曼在中国云南省举行的第二届中国-南亚合作论坛上接受了中国经济网记者的采访,他表示两国媒体需要向世界展示真相,共同抵制对中巴经济走廊(CPEC)的负面新闻。

谈到中国和巴基斯坦媒体在CPEC下取得的进展,他说,两国媒体一直齐心协力使两国文化能够进行互动。

巴基斯坦和中国之间的沟通,无论是政府对政府,还是人民对人民都得到了加强,媒体的参与在其中扮演了重要角色。

当被问及如何抵制关于CPEC的虚假新闻时,他表示两国媒体需要向世界展示真相,真理将会不证自明。

他说:“我们已经建立了快速反应信息交换网络(RRIN),旨在抵制负面新闻,通过自己的叙述方式来反对政治宣传和虚假新闻。”他补充到,两国应携手抵制这些政治宣传和虚假新闻。

以下为采访译文:

问:您认为中国和巴基斯坦媒体在过去几年中都取得了哪些进展?

答:首先,非常感谢主办方的邀请,此次会议对我们来说是一个与来自不同国家朋友交流、学习的好机会。回到您的问题,这个问题非常重要,在过去几年中,我们看到了中巴两国政府之间的交流显著提升,然而两国人民之间的交流仍有大量提升空间。两国媒体为使两国文化能够相互交融做出了很大努力。如今人们沟通起来非常方便,这是两国媒体的功劳,媒体展示出了两国文化的美丽之处,媒体的参与在其中扮演了重要角色。我是“CPEC时间”栏目的成员之一,我对此有非常明显的感受,随着时间的推移,我们开始越来越了解中国兄弟的文化、如何行事、体系如何运作。同样地,他们也开始越来越了解我们。正是由于媒体和交流,两国的政府和人民得以相互了解,因此我认为媒体在这一过程中起到了非常关键的作用。

问:现在有很多假新闻在印度和西方国家传播,您认为两国媒体如何协作抵制假新闻,向人们传达好故事?

答:这个问题对我们来说息息相关。由于中国的发展非常迅速,一些西方媒体和智库并不希望看到这样的发展,他们一直认为亚洲国家应服从于他们,应向他们祈求。如今亚洲在中国的带领下崛起,中国拥有了强健的经济,当取得了这些成绩后,假新闻和政治宣传也随之而来。为了抵挡它们,我们必须向世界展示真相。巴基斯坦在这方面已经采取措施,我们建立了快速反应信息交换网络(RRIN),旨在抵制负面新闻,通过自己的叙述方式来反对政治宣传和虚假新闻。我认为,两国应携手抵制这些西方媒体精心设计的政治宣传和虚假新闻,我们不应从西方的观点来看新闻,而应看到事物的真相,同时我们媒体人有责任向人们传达真相,通过这样的方式,中巴媒体可以有效抵制假新闻。

问:我观察到巴基斯坦媒体对中国的看法逐渐有所转变,在过去有一些对中国的疑虑,但近来对中国和CPEC有了越来越多的认可。您如何看待这种转变?

答:巴基斯坦媒体是自由的,我们是民主国家,因此非常重视媒体的言论自由。有很小一部分媒体,利用了政府给的自由,成为了假新闻和政治宣传的一部分,他们不调查事物的真相,而是复制粘贴来自西方的新闻。但这并不是全部,大部分巴基斯坦媒体对中巴关系、CPEC项目、CPEC前景、CPEC优势的态度都非常积极。因此我的观点是,巴基斯坦媒体越来越愿意了解中国对世界、中巴关系的观点和想法。我认为,巴基斯坦大部分媒体一致认为CPEC对巴基斯坦有利,中巴关系高于一切。

问:用当地语言进行播报可以直达人心,但大部分中国人不会说乌尔都语,很多巴基斯坦人也不懂中文,为解决这一问题,您对中巴媒体有什么建议?

答:我们发现如果你懂对方的语言,更容易与他们交流。如果中国人开始学习乌尔都语那便再好不过了,因为巴基斯坦大部分人都懂乌尔都语,如果能用乌尔都语与他们交流,那么我们就能更好的用当地语言来理解和传达真相,用其它语言必定会存在一些文化障碍。我的观点是,学习当地语言是不能忽视的。

问:你认为巴基斯坦媒体是否应该把中国新闻翻译为乌尔都语?

答:我们正在这样做,在我的“CPEC时间”栏目里,我们会邀请中国嘉宾,也会把栏目内容都翻译为乌尔都语。

 

 

莫迪对华政策更加成熟

印度《一周》  R Prasannan  June 22,2019

纳伦德拉·莫迪-2似乎比纳伦德拉·莫迪-1更温和、更成熟。近来他挥舞的白旗比红色破布还多。

听听他对反对派说的话:你的言论比你的数字更重要。正如拉贾尼·科塔里曾经观察到的,尼赫鲁给予反对派的尊重超过了数字。

莫迪的外交政策也越来越谨慎。粗糙的边缘正在被磨光。2014年,他邀请西藏“总理”和台湾代表团参加其就职仪式。此后从与中国国家主席习近平在萨巴马蒂的午餐到洞朗的军事对峙,使得印度与中国的关系像时钟一样摇摆,在武汉需要更精妙的外交手段以避免最终较量。

莫迪这次似乎不倾向于冒这样的风险。他的方法似乎已经成熟。有了一位中国通担任外交部长,我们现在可能会看到与中国人有更多灵活的关系。

莫迪在吉尔吉斯斯坦比什凯克那里会见了上海合作组织的其他成员,他们都对习于4月份主办的第二届“一带一路”论坛表示赞赏。在其它问题上,莫迪同意习和其他人的意见,例如结束美元统治、拒绝市场准入等,但并未赞扬“一带一路”。

莫迪也做了一点外交上的直言不讳(原谅矛盾修饰法;外交官不会说直白的英文)。他告诉习,互联互通项目应该是“透明的”和“包容的”,应该尊重他人的“领土完整”。他有两个意思。第一,习不应该让生活在“一带一路”的贫穷邻国陷入债务陷阱,让他们签署密密麻麻的条款和条件。第二,习不应该在属于印度的领土上为巴基斯坦修建道路、桥梁、工厂和电线。

中国人似乎也正从他们一直骑着的蒙古骏马上下来。他们发现,如果将印度排除在外,“包容性增长”就不可能实现。

“包容性增长”是上周在云南省玉溪市举行的第二届中国—南亚合作论坛的主题,本专栏的作者也应邀在论坛上发言。云南曾经是南方丝绸之路的枢纽,现在正成为通往南亚和东南亚的“一带一路”枢纽。它通过公路与越南、缅甸、老挝甚至加尔各答相连,通过铁路与整个欧亚大陆相连,通过水路与老挝、缅甸和泰国相连,通过天然气管道与缅甸、老挝和越南相连,并通过数据线与印度、斯里兰卡和孟加拉国相连。

习在南亚有四个次级项目:孟加拉国—中国—印度—缅甸经济走廊,横跨中国、孟加拉国、斯里兰卡和马尔代夫的海上丝绸之路,连接中国、尼泊尔、不丹、印度和印度洋的跨喜马拉雅走廊,以及中国—巴基斯坦经济走廊。哪一个项目会得到印度的肯定?目前无人知晓。

结尾部分:小说作家经常在他们的作品中借用真实的地名。但是云南省的却借用了小说中的名字。据称,詹姆斯·希尔顿1933年出版的小说《失落的地平线》讲述了一个虚构的叫做香格里拉的地方,是受云南中甸的启发,后来中国人把这个县改名为香格里拉,只是为了吸引游客。

这就像把卡纳塔克邦的一个城镇命名为马尔古迪。有什么想法吗,库马拉什瓦米(卡纳塔克邦邦长)?

Modi's approach towards China appears to be matured now

By R Prasannan  June 22,2019

Narendra Modi-2 seems more moderate and mellowed than Narendra Modi-1. He is waving more white flags these days, than red rags.

Listen to what he told the opposition: Your words will matter more than your numbers. Pretty Nehruvian! As Rajni Kothari once observed, Nehru gave the opposition more respect than their numbers commanded.

Modi’s foreign policy, too, is getting circumspect. The rough edges are getting polished. In 2014, he had got the Tibetan ‘prime minister’ and Taiwan’s mission head to his swearing-in. The sight of the two T-chiefs was red rags to the Chinese. Ties with China swung like a pendulum, from a dhokla lunch with Xi Jinping on the Sabarmati banks to a military standoff on the Doklam plateau. It needed much delicate diplomacy at Wuhan to avert a showdown.

Modi does not look inclined to taking such risks this time. His approach appears to have matured. With a former career diplomat as his foreign minister—an old China hand to boot—we may now see quite a lot of nimble-footing with the Chinese.

We had a glimpse of it at Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Modi met the rest of the Shanghai gang there, who were all praise for the Second Belt and Road Forum that Xi had hosted in April. Not Modi. He agreed with Xi and the rest on other issues—ending the dollar reign, denial of market access, and such other, but kept away from the chorus of praise over the Belt and the Road.

Modi also did a bit of diplomatic plainspeak (pardon the oxymoron; diplomats cannot speak plain English). Connectivity projects, he told Xi, should be “transparent” and “inclusive”, and should respect the “territorial integrity” of others. He meant two things. One, Xi should not get his poorer neighbours, who live on the sides of the Belt and the Road, into debt traps by making them sign contracts whose terms and conditions are in small print. Two, Xi should not build roads, bridges, factories and power lines for Pakistan on territory that is India’s.

The Chinese, too, seem to be getting off the high Mongol horse which they have been riding down the Belt and the Road. ‘Inclusive growth’, they are finding out, cannot happen if it excludes India.

‘Inclusive growth’ was the overarching theme of the Second China-South Asia Cooperation Forum held last week in Yuxi City in Yunnan Province, where this columnist, too, was invited to speak. Once a hub of the southern Silk Route, Yunnan is emerging as the hub of the Belt and the Road to south and southeast Asia. It is linked, or getting linked, by road to Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and even Kolkata, by rail to the entire Eurasian landmass, by waterways to Laos, Myanmar and Thailand, with gas pipelines to Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam, and through data lines to India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Xi has four sub-projects for South Asia—a Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar economic corridor, a maritime Silk Road across China, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, a trans-Himalayan corridor linking China, Nepal, Bhutan, India and into the Indian Ocean, and the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. Which ones have a chance for getting India’s nod? No prizes for guessing.

Tailpiece: Fiction-writers often borrow real place names for their work. But Yunnan province has a place which has borrowed its name from fiction. Claiming that James Hilton’s 1933 novel Lost Horizon, which talked of an imaginary land called Shangri-La, was inspired by Zhongdian in Yunnan, the Chinese have renamed the county as Shangri-La, just to attract tourists.

That is like naming a real town in Karnataka as Malgudi. Any ideas, Kumaraswamy?

 

 

尼泊尔外交部长:南亚国家可从“一带一路”中

获得巨大优势

孟加拉联合通讯社(UNB)  加德满都  6月21日电

尼泊尔外交部长帕拉德普·库马尔·加瓦利周四表示,南亚国家可以从中国提出的“一带一路”倡议中获得巨大优势。

尼泊尔外交部长在加德满都举行的为期两天的题为“一带一路促进南亚发展与繁荣”的国际会议上说,“一带一路”倡议通过创造新的经济机会为参与国提供了双赢的局面。

他说,随着越来越多的国家和国际组织与中国开展合作,并成为该倡议的一部分,“一带一路”已经具有了全球重要性。

加瓦利说:“‘一带一路’倡议已经被建成世界上最重要的倡议。这是我们这个时代的真实情况。‘一带一路’倡议强调加强参与国之间的地理连通性。‘一带一路’倡议是一个包容性的概念,旨在促进利益共享、善治、加强铁路互联互通和相关国家的主权决策。”

加瓦利说,南亚地区经济发展潜力巨大,因为该地区各国在语言、文化、文明等方面有许多共同点,并且都在努力实现可持续和平。

他在谈到“一带一路”的重要性时说:“我们希望在‘一带一路’倡议的框架下发展港口、铁路、公路和信息渠道。像尼泊尔这样的内陆国家希望从互联互通中获益。”

中国驻尼泊尔大使侯艳琪在会上表示,南亚地区在“一带一路”倡议中发挥着重要作用。

她说“我们希望在‘一带一路’框架下与南亚国家开展更有意义的合作。我们目前正在建设中巴经济合作和在斯里兰卡建立汉班托塔港。

她说:“一带一路”倡议遵循互利共赢的原则。“自从中国启动该倡议以来,没有一个国家陷入债务陷阱,”

孟加拉国议员兼全国社会主义党主席哈苏·哈克·因努在发表重要讲话时强调了孟加拉国外交政策的优先事项,他表示孟加拉国正在互利和友谊的基础上奉行平衡的外交政策。

他说,孟加拉国一直参与区域和多边论坛,如“一带一路”倡议、孟加拉湾多部门技术和经济合作倡议(BIMSTEC)和南亚区域合作联盟(南盟),这些论坛对促进国家间的区域和双边互联互通十分重要。

尼泊尔—中国友好论坛主席卡尔扬·拉杰·夏尔马在致欢迎词时说,“一带一路”倡议在互联互通和基础设施发展领域为参与国提供了互利。

他说:“‘一带一路’坚持相互支持、合作共赢的原则。这为包括尼泊尔在内的南亚国家创造了各种经济机会。”

夏尔马说,尼泊尔作为“一带一路”的参与国,正在与中国合作,改善尼泊尔人的生活,并为该国带来更多来自中国的外国直接投资。

来自尼泊尔、中国、印度、巴基斯坦、孟加拉国、老挝、马来西亚和菲律宾的学者和专家出席了为期两天的会议。

会议首日举办了以“‘一带一路’促进南亚共同发展和繁荣”为题的高级别全体会议。第二天,学者和专家就“东盟中的‘一带一路’”、“‘一带一路’促进南亚贸易和互联互通”和“跨喜马拉雅合作促进共同繁荣”发表演讲。该会议由尼泊尔-中国友好论坛组织。

South Asian countries can take huge advantage from BRI, says Nepali foreign minister

 

Kathmandu, June 21 (Xinhua/UNB) -- Nepal's Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Kumar Gyawali on Thursday said that South Asian countries can take huge advantage from the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.

Addressing a two-day international conference titled "Belt and Road for development and prosperity of South Asia" in Kathmandu, the Nepali minister said that the Belt and Road Initiative offers win-win situation for the participating countries by creating new economic opportunities.

On the occasion, Chinese Ambassador to Nepal, Hou Yanqi said the South Asia region plays important role in the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.

"We want to have more meaningful cooperation with South Asian countries under the BRI framework. We are currently constructing the China-Pakistan Economic Cooperation and Hambantota Port in Sri Lanka," she said.

The Belt and Road Initiative follows the principle of mutual benefit, shared interests and win-win cooperation. "No countries have fallen into debt trap since China launched the BRI," she said.

Delivering a key note speech, member of the Parliament and president of Jatiya Samajtantrik Dal of Bangladesh, Hasanul Haq Inu highlighted the priorities of foreign policy of Bangladesh, saying that his country is pursuing a balanced foreign policy on the basis of mutual benefit and friendship.

Bangladesh, China plan to boost bilateral ties

AKM MOINUDDIN

UNB NEWS

Dhaka, June 21 (UNB) - Bangladesh and China plan to take their ‘strategic partnership’ to a new height when Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina visits the country next month.

Beijing has invited Prime Minister Hasina to pay an official visit from July 1-5, a senior official in Dhaka told UNB, saying that both sides are finalising things for the important visit.

The Chinese government also invited the Prime Minister to attend annual meeting of the “New Champions” which is known as “Summer Davos” to be held in Dalian on July 1-3.

It will be Sheikh Hasina’s first bilateral visit to Beijing following her party’s overwhelming victory in the last parliamentary election.

She will have meetings with President Xi and Prime Minister Li Keqiang and discuss ways to strengthen cooperation in broader areas. A good number of bilateral documents are likely to be signed during the visit.

Prime Minister Hasina is expected to have an exclusive meeting on July 2 with the founder and Executive Chairman of World Economic Forum (WEF) Prof Klaus Schwab in Dalian, said an official.

She is also expected to be a panelist at a session on Cooperation in the Pacific Rim at the WEF Dalian.

Beijing has already placed five specific suggestions for deepening Bangladesh-China strategic partnership of cooperation with an emphasis on intensifying ‘strategic mutual trust’.

“First, we need to deepen strategic mutual trust and then we need to deepen economic integration,” Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Zhang Zuo said at Cosmos Dialogue recently.

Other suggestions put forward by him were to deepen innovation and interaction, have stronger cooperation on experience sharing on security, and deepen cultural and people’s connectivity.

He said that China wants to join hands with Bangladesh to become good partners with equality and mutual trust.

Summer Davos, themed ‘Leadership 4.0: Succeeding in a New Era of Globalization’, is bringing together leaders from every sector and every part of the world to discuss how to cooperate on the challenges ahead.

Activities have been designed to provide Chinese cultural experiences at the programme in Liaoning Province, according to the city's authorities responsible for the coordination of the event.

The “Dalian Night” will feature performances by well-known performing groups, including folk dances, acrobatics, Peking Opera, ballet and folk music.

The event venue and parts of Dalian will be covered with 5G signals, allowing participants to enjoy the convenience brought by 5G services and experience 5G technologies-supported applications like panoramic VR, and 5G plus 4K ultra-high definition television.

Globalization 4.0 represents fundamental changes in the global economy that are reshaping companies, communities and countries at an unprecedented speed and scale.

These changes are driven by environmental challenges, regional competition, economic disparities and technological disruption. They, in turn, require different forms of leadership and collaboration adapted to this new era of globalisation.

Platform strategies and systems leadership are key business concepts behind the sweeping technological changes propelling the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Leadership 4.0 requires an understanding of how new champions that are gaining economic influence are disrupting and transforming current industry models.

WEF engages leaders who have the vision and values to shape the future in this new context.

The Annual Meeting of the New Champions is designed as the foremost global summit on innovation and entrepreneurship with more than 1,500 participants, 100 working sessions and community activities, along with the opportunity to engage in several new forum initiatives.

 

 

中国—南亚合作论坛有助消除中印贸易壁垒

印度亚洲国际新闻台 Sahil Pandey  2019年6月11日

在云南省举办中国—南亚合作论坛(CSACF)之际,印度商会(东北)主席马赫什·萨哈里表示,此类论坛有助于消除两国之间现有的贸易壁垒。

“在这样的论坛上,我们需要讨论进一步扩大印度对中国出口的可能性,并消除这些壁垒,特别是在制药和信息技术行业,因为我们的商品有限。我们必须开拓自己有优势的领域。”萨哈拉告诉印度亚洲国际新闻台

萨哈拉强调了云南的重要性,他说:“云南与南亚和东南亚接壤,在中国担负着提升与周边国家关系的责任。印度的东部和东北部离中国最近。孟加拉国-中国-印度-缅甸区域合作论坛(BCIM)已经建立起来。这类论坛很有帮助,小收获可以带来很大的不同。”在谈到中印贸易的未来时,他承认贸易中存在困难,但也流露出对未来发展的信心。

当被问及印度总理莫迪和中国国家主席习近平之间的关系如何促进贸易关系时,萨哈拉说,领导人之间的个人关系确实有所帮助,但只是在一定程度上。他补充道:“最终还是要看实际情况。”

第二届中国—南亚合作论坛主题为“深化地方合作,实现互利共赢”,旨在促进政策对话、经济贸易投资、民间交流和经验共享、巩固中国与南亚国家的综合合作与发展。

云南省愿深化与南亚国家地方政府的合作,为互利共赢的共同利益而努力。

 

India looks to resolve trade barriers with China as CSACF commences

ANI
11 Jun 2019,

By Sahil PandeyKunming

As Yunan province is all set to host the China-South Asia Cooperation Forum (CSACF), Chairman of Indian Chamber of Commerce (North-East) Mahesh Saharia has said that such forums can be helpful in removing the existing trade barriers between the two countries.

"In such forums, we need to talk about the possibilities of furthering exports from India to China and removing those barriers particularly in pharmaceuticals and IT industries because our basket of goods is limited. We have to find areas where we are stronger," Saharia told ANI.

Highlighting the importance of Yunan, Saharia said, "Yunan as such borders South Asia and South-East Asia. They have the responsibility in China to improve relations. East and North-East of India are closest to China. BCIM (Bangladesh-China- India-Myanmar Forum for Regional Cooperation) is there already. This kind of forum is helpful but a small percentage of gain makes a lot of difference. "Talking about the future of Indo-China trade, he acknowledged that there are difficulties in trade, but exuded confidence that the sector will progress in the future.

Asked how the relationship between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping can boost trade ties, Saharia said that individual relation between leaders do help, but only to a certain extent.

"It is the ground reality that ultimately works out," he added.

The 2nd CSACF, under the theme of "Stronger Sub-national Partnership for Win-Win Opportunities", is aimed at promoting policy dialogues, investment in economic trade, people-to-people communications and experience sharing and consolidate integrated cooperation and development between China and South Asian countries.

Yunan Province is ready to deepen cooperation with local governments in South Asian countries and work towards common interests with mutual benefits. 

 

 

 

中国否认放弃孟中印缅经济走廊

印度托拉斯新闻通讯社  2019年6月10日

中国外交部发言人耿爽周一在接受媒体采访时说,“孟中印缅经济走廊(BCIM)没有被放弃。这是板上钉钉的事。”

中国周一否认将BCIM经济走廊从数十亿美元的“一带一路”倡议中取消,由于中印在中巴经济走廊(CPEC)问题上的分歧,BCIM进展甚微。

BCIM2013年启动时曾被列入“一带一路”倡议中,但在今年4月举行的第二届“一带一路”论坛上,该项目没有持续年在35条走廊中。

中国外交部发言人耿爽周一在接受媒体采访时说:BCIM没有被放弃。”他说,事实上,第十三届BCIM论坛和南亚商务论坛正在中国云南玉溪举行。耿爽表示,建立BCIM走廊的讨论仍在继续中。

“一带一路”论坛结束时发布的联合声明中,南亚地区的名单中只提到了中巴经济走廊、中国-尼泊尔跨越喜马拉雅立体互联互通网络,包括中尼跨境铁路和中缅经济走廊。

BCIM明显不在名单上,引发了中国已将其删除的猜测。

印度以担忧主权为由,第二次缺席“一带一路”论坛,因为CPEC穿过巴基斯坦占领的克什米尔地区。

全长2800公里的BCIM走廊计划将中国云南省昆明与加尔各答连接起来,途经缅甸曼德勒和孟加拉达卡等地。

 

China denies abandoning BCIM corridor

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang told media briefing here on Monday that “the BCIM has not been abandoned. It is very much on board."

June 10, 2019

China on Monday denied that it has dropped the BCIM economic corridor from its multi-billion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) as the project made little progress in view of the differences between India and China over the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

The Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar-Economic Corridor (BCIM) which has been previously mentioned as part of the BRI when it was launched in 2013, did not figure in the list of 35 corridors mentioned during the 2nd Belt and Road Forum (BRF) held here in April.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman, Geng Shuang told media briefing here on Monday that “the BCIM has not been abandoned. It is very much on board.”

In fact the 13th meeting of BCIM forum to discuss the progress is being held on the sidelines of China, South Asia Business Forum currently being held in Yunnan province, he said.

Discussions are still going on to build the BCIM corridor, Geng said.

A joint statement issued at the end of the BRF mentioned only the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the Nepal-China Trans-Himalayan Multi-Dimensional Connectivity Network, including Nepal-China cross-border railway and China-Myanmar economic corridor in the list from the South Asian region.

The BCIM was conspicuously absent from the list, setting off speculation that China has dropped it.

Citing sovereignty concerns, India, for the second time, had not participated in the BRF, as CPEC-a flagship of the BRI-passes through Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK).

The 2800-km BCIM corridor proposes to link Kunming in China’s Yunnan province with Kolkata, passing though nodes such as Mandalay in Myanmar and Dhaka in Bangladesh before heading to Kolkata.

China, other Asian nations' involvement sought to solve Rohingya crisis

By UNB AKM MOINUDDIN  JUNE 12, 2019

Bangladesh has raised the Rohingya issue in an international media forum here and sought more Chinese and other Asian nations' involvement to solve the Rohingya crisis for regional peace and stability.

Bangladesh stressed that the Rohingya crisis needs to be solved permanently ensuring safe return of Rohingyas to their place of origin in Myanmar's Rakhine State.

The China-South Asia Media Forum was held on the sidelines of the second China-South Asia Cooperation Forum that ended here at Hilton Yuxi Fuxian Lake Resort on Tuesday evening.

President of Xinhua Net Tian Shubin, President of Yunnan Media Group He Yaning, Controller of News, Bangladesh Betar Tania Naznin, Senior Information Officer, Ministry of Information, Bangladesh Akram Uddin Ahammad Mir, Deputy Editor in Chief of Xinhuanet Liu Jiawen, Editor in Chief of China Economic Net, Assistant Editor in Chief of China.com.cn Zheng Wenhua, Executive Chairman of National News Agency of Nepal Harihar Adhikary and senior journalists from India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, among others, spoke.

Speaking at the roundtable dialogue of the Forum, Tania Naznin said, "We expect more Chinese and other Asian nations' involvement to solve the Rohingya crisis."

She requested the media people in China and other countries to visit Rohingya camps in Cox's Bazar district and report on the ground situation.

Bangladesh is now hosting over 1.2 million Rohingyas and majority of them entered Bangladesh since August 25, 2017.

The speakers highlighted the challenges of the media industry, digital transformation; and laid emphasis on cooperation to create new communication order.

They said history has taught a lot to work together and live together addressing challenges.

The journalists said if they work together, regional development is possible.

The China-South Asia Media Forum, participants said, serves as a platform for media professionals from China and South Asia countries to pursue stronger cooperation and promote people-to-people exchange.

Over a hundred of professionals and experts attended the Media Forum that aims to strengthen media cooperation for people-to-people exchange among China and South Asia countries.

"China and South Asian countries are connected both geographically and culturally," said Tian Shubin, Vice President of China Federation of Internet Societies and Chairman as well as President of Xinhuanet.

He said media should contribute more to all-round, multi-layered and wide-ranging cooperation among countries as the bridge connecting different civilizations.

Tian also proposed the participants set up a fair and reasonable communication order, build a platform of interconnections and meet the challenges of media developing together.

Madhav Sharma, Language and Culture Advisor to the President of Nepal, said China's Belt and Road Initiative can be a great support for media cooperation, on the basis of improving the understanding and emotional attachment among participating countries.

Wang Chaowen, President of Cankaoxiaoxi, a Chinese reference information newspaper, shared his idea on how traditional print media, such as Cankaoxiaoxi, embraces the new media age by improving social media management.

For the purpose, he called for a closer and broader media cooperation.

"We are ready to closely cooperate with friends from South Asian media," Wang said.

Akram Mir said people-to-people exchange builds relationships across cultures and helps the exchange of thoughts and skills of all kinds, and it is closely tied up with media cooperation.

"The stronger the media cooperation is, the better the people-to-people exchange can be," he said.

"People-to-people exchange generates mutual understanding and respect for each other," said Saranga Wijeyarathne, Director General of Sri Lanka Rupavahini(TV) Corporation.

Wijeyarathne said China is playing a significant role in bringing people in both China and South Asia countries together by providing a communication platform to media professionals.

The newest media technology and application developed in China and South Asia were shared as a specific way for promoting media cooperation.

Chinese investors can maximise profits by setting up industries in Bangladesh: Envoy

By United News of Bangladesh AKM MOINUDDIN

Bangladesh has said Chinese entrepreneurs, especially investors from Yunnan Province, can maximise their profits by setting up industries in Bangladesh taking the advantage of proximity and getting access to huge direct and indirect markets within and beyond Bangladesh.

"Bangladesh's strategic location and duty -and- quota free access of its products to a number of developed markets have made Bangladesh a very attractive place to set up industries," said Bangladesh Ambassador to China M Fazul Karim on Monday.

He said Bangladesh has a direct market of over 160 million people with extended markets in other South Asian countries, including India.

The ambassador mentioned areas like steel production, agro processing, light engineering, pharmaceuticals and car manufacturing where Chinese investors can explore opportunities.

"Investment in Bangladesh creates a direct market access of 160 million people," he said, adding that such investment gives access to other big markets through Bangladesh.

Ambassador Karim was addressing the inaugural session of the two-day second China-South Asia Cooperation Forum (CSACF) here at the lakeside of Fuxian Lake in the afternoon.

Governor of Yunnan Province Ruan Chengfa, ministers and representatives from Nepal, Afghanistan, Myanmar, the Maldives, Pakistan; and Chairman, Center for Promotion of India-China Cooperation and Cochairman of Indian Chamber of Commerce (Northeast) Mahesh K Saharia, among others, spoke.

The Bangladesh envoy said there are opportunities to export more products in Chinese market with export basket diversification in Bangladesh.

Because of proximity, he said, Yunnan can import high quality Bangladeshi fruits and vegetables.

Highlighting investment facilities in Bangladesh, the ambassador said Chinese entrepreneurs can comfortably invest in special economic zones as the government is setting up 100 such zones across the country.

He said China is not only a dependable friend of Bangladesh but also an important development partner and the two countries are working together for global peace and prosperity.

Ambassador Karim hoped that the Forum will help expand relations between Bangladesh and China, and other South Asian countries on all fronts, not just in business and economic sectors.

He said Yunnan Province has the true potential to lead such cooperation.

Governor Chengfa said Yunnan is an economic and cultural link between China and South Asian countries and the people. "It’s also a major provincial player in China-South Asia Cooperation."

The second China-South Asia Cooperation Forum is themed on "Stronger Sub-National Partnership for Win-Win Opportunities."

The Forum is focusing on economy and trade, poverty reduction, BCIM regional cooperation, media and other issues.

"The Forum is of critical importance to improve the quality of our cooperation," said the Yunnan Province Governor.

As the saying goes, he said, "Divided, we fall, united, we stand and I believe that as long as we work together towards the same direction, and adhere to concrete cooperation, we’ll certainly be able to see more outcomes be reached in the Forum and to make more solid progress in promoting future cooperation."

The Governor hoped that all parties will jointly explore and build poverty reduction cooperation demonstration zones, scale up beat practices and promote a balanced and high quality economic and social development in the region.
