We look forward to this afternoon, when the Prime Minister David Cameron and Premier Wen will take part in the UK-China summit.中国现在是世界上第二大经济体。它对于英国经济繁荣的贡献日益重要。这也是我们此次作为英国有史以来最强大的部长级代表团到中国访问的原因。我们期待着今天下午首相戴维卡梅伦和温家宝总理参加的英-中峰会。Today the Vice Premier and I talked about the economic relationship between our two countries. We both agreed to further strengthen bilateral cooperation. We both agreed to continue implementing economic policies conducive to sustainable economic growth. The UK has committed to a clear, credible, ambitious and growth-friendly medium-term fiscal consolidation plan which will ensure fiscal sustainability.

This action by both sides will support confidence and mitigate risks to recovery.今天副总理和我探讨了我们两国间的经济关系。双方一致同意进一步加强双边合作。双方一致同意继续实施有利于经济可持续发展的经济政策。英国已承诺要实施明确的、可靠的、雄心勃勃的、有益于发展的中期财政整顿计划，以确保财政的可持续性。副总理也谈到，中国要致力于加快经济结构调整，进一步加强内需对经济增长的作用。双方的这一举措将有助于提振市场信心、减少经济复苏风险。We also agreed to work together through the G20.

At Gyeongju we also agreed to strengthen multilateral cooperation to promote external sustainability and the full range of policies conducive to reducing excessive imbalances and maintaining current account imbalances at sustainable levels.
