　　President of the Chinese People’s Association

　　 for Friendship with Foreign Countries

　　当前，世界正经历百年未有之大变局。新兴发展中国家群体性崛起已成为不可逆转的时代潮流，并对国际治理体系、世界格局和全球力量对比产生了重大影响。一些发达国家感到不适应、不习惯。为了维护自身的霸权地位和垄断利益，有的国家视中国等发展中国家崛起为威胁，进而采取遏制打压的错误做法。当前，逆全球化、民粹主义和冷战思维一时间沉渣泛起。世界正处在一个关键的十字路口：是继续走你输我赢、你死我活的老路？还是走合作共赢、共同发展的新路？世界人民已到了该做出正确选择的时候。  

　　林松添呼吁国际友好组织积极推动“一带一路”建设行稳致远，增进沿线国家之间民相亲、心相通，并着力做好以下工作：一是发挥更大作用，积极推动包括地方政府官员、青少年、智库媒体代表和大中小学校长在内的人员互访和文明交流互鉴，增进中国人民与有关国家人民之间的相互了解和友谊；二是积极参与和推动所在城市与中国城市的友好交流与互利合作，为国家关系发展奠定坚实基础；三是主动发声，积极维护世界和平，伸张公平正义，加强与当地主流媒体交流互动，用翔实的数据、感人的故事讲好中国故事和本国同中国关系的友好故事，坚决反对冷战思维、零和博弈、污名化中国和双边关系，帮助各国人民更加客观理性全面认识中国和世界。

　　The world has been undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The collective rise of emerging markets and developing countries has become an inevitable trend of the times and exerted great influence on the world order, global landscape and international power dynamics. Some developed countries feel uncomfortable about the trend and refuse to adapt to it or accept it. To maintain their hegemony and monopoly position, they regard the rise of developing nations as a threat, and take a wrong approach to fully contain and oppress developing countries. For a time, de-globalization, populism and Cold War mentality are on the rise. The world is standing at a crucial crossroads: to follow and take the outdated path of zero-sum game or the new path of win-win cooperation for common development? It is the time for the world to make the right choice.

　　Closer people-to-people ties are necessary for the sound and steady development of the BRI. We are ready to join with you in the three following:

　　First, we need to vigorously promote mutual visits of local government officials, youth, think tanks, media organizations, headmasters of primary and secondary schools, and university principals, and strengthen mutual understanding and friendship between peoples of China and the world.

　　Second, we need to actively advance and join in the building of more friendship cities, take an active part in the exchanges and cooperation between the cities where friendship organizations are located and Chinese cities to inject momentum into cooperation at the local level, so as to lay a solid foundation for sound development of state-to-state relations.

　　Third, we need to speak out for world peace, fairness and justice. The promotion of people-to-people friendship calls for constantly upgrading communication concepts, innovating communication channels, and strengthening contact, communication and exchange with all types of media organizations. We need to help the media cover friendly relationship and pragmatic cooperation among peoples of various countries through detailed data and touching stories, call for justice to reject the Cold War mentality, zero-sum game, and stigmatization of China, and help people around the world better understand about China and our bilateral relations.

　　Mr. Jim McKusick, President &

　　Edgar Snow Memorial Foundation of USA

　　“一带一路”倡议为所有参与国家的人民加强合作和互帮互助提供了很多的机会，我们认为，在该倡议下，国际贸易和商业，通讯业和运输业，旅游业和文化遗产是受益最大的部分重要领域，美国人民也将有许多机会参与进来，发展和加强与其他国家的民间友好合作。

　　在这个动荡不安的时期，在全球大流行病的困境中，民间合作对于促进世界和平和各国人民的相互理解来说，变得更加重要，像埃德加·斯诺纪念基金会这样的民间友好组织，非常适合在推进“一带一路”倡议的目标的过程发挥重要作用，通过教育和文化交流，促进国际间的相互谅解。

　　The Belt and Road Initiative offers many opportunities for the people of its participant nations to develop stronger collaboration and mutual assistance. International trade and commerce, communication and transportation, tourism, and cultural heritage are some of the important areas where we have seen a significant expansion of opportunities under BRI. The citizens of the United States will have many opportunities to develop and enhance people-to-people cooperation in the wake of these possibilities. 

　　In difficult times, in the midst of a global pandemic, the work of people-to-people collaboration becomes all the more important to the advancement of world peace and mutual understanding. People-to-people friendship organizations such as the Edgar Snow Memorial Foundation are well-suited to play an important role in advancing the objectives of the Belt and Road Initiative, promoting international understanding through the work of educational and cultural exchange.
