政务司司长出席中法建交六十周年──从北京巴黎历史看发展展览开幕仪式（附图／短片）

尊敬的潘云东副特派员（外交部驻香港特别行政区特派员公署副特派员）、Consul General Drulhe（法国驻港澳总领事杜丽缇）、谭耀宗常委（第十三届全国人民代表大会常务委员会委员、民主建港协进联盟（民建联）会务顾问）、李慧琼常委（第十四届全国人民代表大会常务委员会委员、民建联会务顾问）、陈克勤主席（民建联主席）、周浩鼎副主席（民建联副主席）、谭兆璋教授、各位嘉宾、各位朋友：
大家好。很开心获得民建联的邀请，与各位一同出席这个中法建交60周年展览的开幕仪式。
今年是中法建交60周年的重要一年。国家主席习近平指出，中法关系的独特历史塑造了独立自主、相互理解、高瞻远瞩、互利共赢的「中法精神」。今年五月，习主席对法国进行国事访问。中法两国承先启后，发表四份联合声明，并签署近20项双边合作文件，为两国交流合作打下更坚实的基础。
在这个具标志性的一年，民建联和谭兆璋教授共同主办今次展览，我认为具有三重意义。
第一是彰显香港的独特地位。香港在「一国两制」下，展现背靠祖国、联通世界的魅力。香港市民以至各地访客，能在香港这个中西荟萃的国际都会，透过今次展览深入浅出地认识中法两国在60年来如何建立全面战略伙伴关系，我认为这方面非常有意义。
第二是促进香港与法国的关系。中法两国的伙伴关系，对于促进香港与法国之间的交流合作，带有相当的启发性。中法两国相互理解、互利合作等精神，均很切合香港与法国在经贸、文化等领域的关系。香港联同广东省和澳门今年五月在巴黎合办的经贸合作交流会、每年在港举办的法国五月——这些项目正是增进彼此理解和合作的好例子。我期待双方继往开来，深化联系。
第三是拓展爱国主义教育。要培养民众的爱国情怀，我们必须用好软性手法，让他们先认识国家、从而认同国家。国家的外交发展，亦是国情的重要部分。我相信市民透过展览，能加深了解祖国的外交成就，从而加强国民身分认同。
在这里，我代表特区政府，多谢民建联和谭教授为我们带来这个别具意义的展览。我祝展览圆满成功，大家身体健康、事事顺利。
Now, may I say a few words in English.
My thanks to the DAB (Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong) and Professor Tam Siu-cheung for jointly organising this inspiring exhibition to mark the 60th anniversary of China-France diplomatic relations.
As President Xi Jinping said this year, the unique history of China-France relations has shaped the "China-France spirit" of independence, mutual understanding, foresight, mutual benefit and win-win co-operation. In this symbolic year, the two countries issued four joint statements, and signed close to 20 bilateral co-operation documents, to lay a more solid foundation for exchanges and co-operation ahead.
The thematic exhibition here couldn't be timelier, I am pleased to note. It is particularly meaningful for the exhibition to be held in Hong Kong – a city with the unique advantages of enjoying the strong support of the motherland, while being closely connected to the world, thanks to the "one country, two systems" principle.
This exhibition will guide Hong Kong people and other visitors to gain a quick understanding of how China and France developed a comprehensive strategic partnership in the past 60 years.
With diplomacy being an important part of a country's development, Hong Kong people can also deepen their knowledge of the motherland's history and, in turn, strengthen their sense of national identity.
No less important, the partnership between China and France provides valuable insight for the exchanges and co-operation between Hong Kong and France. I have every confidence that the two economies can forge closer ties in trade, culture, and much more, in the spirit of mutual understanding and mutual benefit likewise.
On that note, I wish this exhibition a big success and all of you the best of health, and business, in the year to come. Thank you.
