China Daily: There have been a lot of interactions between China and Latin American and Caribbean countries in the past year, and we have learned that this year the China-CELAC forum will be formally established. Can you share with us your expectations for the furtherance of China's ties with Latin America and the Caribbean in the year ahead?
[中国日报、中国日报网记者] 外长，您好。我们注意到过去一年中国和拉美地区国家互动很频繁，我们也知道今年中国-拉共体论坛将正式成立。外长您能否介绍一下今年中国对于进一步发展中国和拉美地区国家关系有何期待？谢谢。
Wang Yi: The best line to describe China's relationship with Latin America and the Caribbean is the following: "Bosom friends from afar bring a distant land near." This year, we face a historical opportunity for taking this relationship to the next level.
[王毅] 如果用一句话来形容中国同拉美和加勒比国家关系的话，我想最贴切的就是“海内存知己，天涯若比邻”。今年中拉关系又面临“更上一层楼”的历史机遇。
Firstly, President Xi Jinping will attend the BRICS Leaders' Meeting in Brazil and visit some Latin American countries. Secondly, the recent summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) adopted a special statement supporting the establishment of a China-CELAC Forum. In 2014, we will work hard to formally launch this forum and hold its first ministerial conference. This will be an important breakthrough in the relations between China and Latin America and the Caribbean.
一是习近平将应邀赴巴西出席金砖国家领导人峰会，并将访问一些拉美国家。二是最近拉共体峰会一致通过了建立中国-拉共体论坛这样一个特别的声明。我们将争取年内正式启动这一论坛，并召开首届部长级会议。我想这将是中拉关系史上一次重大的突破。
I am full of expectations about China-Latin America relations this year, as I'm sure many football fans in China are full of expectations about this year's Brazil FIFA World Cup.
我对今年的中拉关系充满期待。另外，我想我们中国的球迷们也对今年的巴西世界杯充满期待。谢谢。
