尊敬的东盟秘书长林玉辉阁下和黄英俊、翁贴、阿拉丁、穆赫坦副秘书长阁下，
尊敬的东盟常驻代表委员会成员和各国驻东盟大使阁下们，
女士们，先生们，
　　大家晚上好！
Your Excellency Dato Lim Jock Hoi, Secretary General of ASEAN,
Your Excellencies Dr. Hoang Anh Tuan, Dr. Aladdin Rillo, Vongthep Arthakaivalvatee and Dr. AKP Mochtan, Deputy Secretary Generals of ASEAN，
Your Excellencies members of the CPR and Ambassadors of dialogue partners to ASEAN,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

　　欢迎光临我的新官邸。在中国，有家族长辈到晚辈的新居“暖房”，送去祝贺和祝福的习俗。今天这么多贵宾莅临，比“暖房”更有意义。各位年龄可能并不高，但级别确实很高。我深表感谢。
Good evening. Welcome to my humble new residence. In China, there is a tradition for the senior to come and visit the new house of younger members of the family to offer congratulations and best wishes, a practice we call “warming up the house”. The presence of so many distinguished guests today is much more than “warming up the house”, to which I am deeply indebted. All presence here are very senior in official rankings, but you are not necessarily senior in terms of age.
　　当然，今晚主题并非是参观我新官邸，而是为我们的同事和好朋友翁贴副秘书长离任送别。前几天，我参加了泰国帕斯蓬大使为他举行的送别招待会。所有的赞美之辞都被帕斯蓬大使用过了，恐怕我很难超越。但我还是要尝试一下。我向中国使团的同事们了解对翁贴副秘书长的看法，他们用的最多的词就是“年轻、朝气”。翁贴副秘书长迄今是东盟最年轻的副秘书长，并且他朝气蓬勃、活力四射，充满思想和智慧。我想这对他的领导林玉辉秘书长是件好事，但对他的团队来说是个挑战。
But of course I am fully aware that you are here not mainly to see my new house, but more importantly, to acknowledge and express appreciation to our colleague and good friend DSG Vongthep. A few days ago I attended the reception hosted by Ambassador Phasporn in honor of DSG Vongthep. Ambassador Phasporn has used all the sweet and beautiful words on DSG that I am afraid I can never compete. But I tried hard and talked with my colleagues in the mission for their impressions about DSG. They gave me many words, and the most common words are “young and energetic”. Yes, he is so far the youngest DSG , and he is indeed a man full of energy, vigor, vitality and a man full of ideas and wisdom. I am sure that this is a blessing to his boss SG Dato Lim Jock Hoi, but certainly a challenge to his staff.

　　特别值得一提的是，作为15周年重要纪念活动之一，东盟常驻代表委员会和黄英俊副秘书长一行上个月成功访华。王毅国务委员兼外长会见了代表团，他对“雅加达渠道”作用的充分肯定给我们很大鼓舞和激励。代表团还出席了中国—东盟博览会以及人文交流活动，与阿里巴巴集团畅谈电子商务、智慧城市等新兴领域合作。我相信，大家对与马云先生会晤时热烈讨论、相互启发的记忆尤为深刻。
As one of the most important commemorative activities, the CPR and DSG Hoang Anh Tuan paid a successful visit to China last month. The Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with the delegation and his full commendation of Jakarta Channel gave all of us much encouragement and inspiration. The delegation also attended the China-ASEAN EXPO and cultural activities, and had a good talk with Alibaba Group to explore future cooperation in e-commerce and smart cities. I believe the visit was highlighted by the most impressive discussion and mutual enlightenment with Jack Ma.

　　目前，我们正在加紧制定“中国—东盟战略伙伴关系2030年愿景”案文，即将提交11月领导人会议通过。相信在这一重要文件指引下，中国－东盟战略伙伴关系将迎来更加辉煌的又一个15年。我愿同各位同事为此共同努力，更好发挥“雅加达渠道”的作用，为地区和平与繁荣作出更大贡献。
　　祝大家度过美好夜晚，谢谢!
Most encouragingly, through the Jakarta Channel, we have wound up consultations, ahead of schedule, on the China-ASEAN Strategic Partnership Vision 2030, a milestone document to be issued at the China-ASEAN Summit this November. We are sure that with guidance and wisdom of our leaders, our relations will embark on a higher level. China is also ready to work closely with other dialogue partners to contribute to peace and prosperity of the region.
I wish you a wonderful evening. Thank you!
