Why an Indian and Chinese Citizen's Assembly in 2010?

2010 年中印公民大会的意义

China and India have ancient civilizations and a long history. The two countries have created splendid cultures and made indelible contribution to human progress. In the past several millennia, the two great civilizations have drawn upon each other's strength and left a glorious chapter in the annals of global civilization. The people of India and China started cultural exchanges and trade centuries ago. Eminent Chinese monks Fahien and Huen Tsang went to India on pilgrimages, and Kumarajiva and Bodhidharma brought Buddhist classics from India to China. They were great pioneers in the long history of exchanges between our two peoples.

In modern times, both the countries enjoyed mutual sympathy and support in the struggle for independence and liberation. Today, both China and India are on the fast track of economic and social development, demonstrating to the world the bright future of the two countries and the promise of a revitalized Asia. China and India have carried out productive cooperation in many fields and our relations have maintained good momentum of all-round development. Last year, China and India established the strategic and cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity, which ushered in a new stage of growth in China-India relations.

中印两国历史悠久，文明源远流长。两国文化光辉灿烂，为人类的发展做出了不可磨灭的贡献。在 绵延几千年的历史演进中，两国交相辉映，共同谱写了世界文明史上的绚丽篇章。

早在几个世纪以 前，印度和中国的人民就展了文化交流和贸易往来。

中国高僧法显和玄奘取经西行，天竺鸠摩罗什 和达摩祖师负笈东来，

他们是我们两国民族的漫长历史交流中的伟大开拓者。近代以降，两国在争

取各自国家的独立和解放的过程中相互支援，情同手足。今天，中国和印度又共同走上了经济和社 会发展的快车道，向世界昭示着两国光明的未来和亚洲复兴的希望。

中国和印度在许多个领域开展 了富有成效的合作，两国关系呈现出全面发展的良好势头。

去年，两国成功建立了面向和平与繁荣 的战略合作伙伴关系，

把中印友好关系推向了新高潮。

In enhancing China-India relationship, we need to both boost bilateral cooperation and be global and future-oriented in outlook. As young leaders of China and India, we should act with vision, view China-India relations in a long-term and strategic perspective, seize the opportunity to enhance the good-neighborly friendship and all-round cooperation and forge closer strategic partnership.

发展中印关系既要着眼双边合作，更要面向世界、面向未来。中印的青年领袖应具备前瞻性，以长 远和战略的眼光看待中印关系发展，抓住当前有利时机，加强睦邻友好关系，

推进全面合作，打造 更为紧密的战略伙伴关系。

The year 2006, India and China Friendship year embarked between the two nations a normal relationship with each other after years of mistrust. There has been a significant "all-round development" between the two countries.

2006年是中印友谊年，中印两国多年的不信任被打破，两国关系开始正常化。两国关系在各个方 面有了长足的发展。

The Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and United World supported by  Foundation for the Progress of Humankind (FPH) since 1991 is involved with the ongoing China-India exchange which has helped in creating a small wave of inter-cultural learning between the two countries.

人类进步基金会（FPH）致力推动的“协力、尽责、多元世界联盟”从1991年开始把中印交流纳 入它的职责范围，在两国的跨文化交流中制造了一个小浪潮。

To enhance China-India friendship and cooperation there definitely is a need for an Indian and Chinese Citizens assembly to bring an Asian resurgence with India, China as partners and this should be carried through programs as proposed through following activities. This will be carried out from the year 2007 and up to 2010 through, inter-cultural dialogue, more peopleto- people contact, responsible tourism, exchanges and fair trade.

为了推动中印友好合作，印中公民大会无疑可以带来中印合作下亚洲的复兴，这需通过一些列的活 动来实现。2007- 2010 年间相互文化对话，更多的民间交流，互信的旅游业，

互通有无和公平贸易 恰起到了这种作用。
