【北京2015年8月24日PRN＝共同通信JBN】第6回米中人材交流高級協議（CPE）がこのほどワシントンで開催され、中国の劉延東副首相が全体会議に出席した。

今回の協議では大きな進展があり、双方は2014年にまとめた104項目の合意の履行を確認、特別アピールと文化交流の大きな可能性を表明した。双方はまた、教育、科学、テクノロジー、文化、保健、スポーツ、女性と青少年の7分野におよぶ119項目の新合意にこぎつけた。

劉副首相は、CPEが中国と米国の理解増進を図る開拓者になり、いくつかの分野で両国間の協力を一層深化させる強固な基礎の役割を果たすとともに、両国関係強化の駆動輪にもなっていると述べた。劉副首相は将来、中国と米国が両国関係をより暖かく、深く、広く、柔軟なものにすると期待している。

劉副首相は訪米中、最重要な中米青年交流プログラム、ZhiXing China - Perfect World U.S.-China Young Leaders Fellowship（Zhi-Xing中国－パーフェクトワールド米国・中国青年指導者フェローシップ）の代表第1陣と面会し、個人的体験をするための中国訪問を歓迎すると表明した。これは第5回米中人材交流高級協議の成果のひとつで、長期的な交流プログラムである。中国教育国際交流協会（CEAIE）がアイゼンハワー財団と立ち上げ、中国企業、北京完美時空網絡技術有限公司（パーフェクトワールド）が資金提供している。このプログラムは、中国と米国が経済界と個人を巻き込んで文化交流を拡大する先見的な試みで、社会的勢力を利用する文化交流チャンネル拡大の新トレンドを全面的かつ直接に示している。

劉副首相は、イベント期間中の米政府高官との会合で、文化交流強化のため中国と米国はともに経済界と個人の人材を引き付ける必要があると意見表明したという。

中国を本拠とするパーフェクトワールドは過去数年、中国の文化・教育交流の強化に努めてきた。同社は国際レベルの社会的責任を負い、中国文化のグローバル・コミュニケーションに貢献することを願って、ZhiXing Chinaプログラムに加わり支援している。プログラムの最終目標は、世界文明を構成する多くの文化が相互理解を深めることである。

BEIJING, Aug. 24, 2015 /PRN=KYODO JBN/ --

The sixth U.S.-China High-Level Consultation on People-to-People Exchange (CPE)

was recently held in Washington, D.C. where Chinese Vice Premier Liu Yandong

attended the plenary session.

Considerable progress was achieved during this round of consultations: both

parties confirmed that they implemented 104 agreements concluded in 2014,

demonstrating the special appeal and the huge potential of cultural exchanges.

In addition, both parties reached 119 new agreements covering seven areas

including education, science and technology, culture, health, sports, women and

youth.

The Chinese Vice Premier said that the CPE has become the pathfinder for

promoting better understanding between Chinese and Americans and that the event

is acting as a solid foundation for further deepening the cooperation between

the two countries in several areas as well as a driver of a deepening of ties

between the two countries. Looking forward, the Vice Premier expects China and

the U.S. to make their relationship warmer, deeper, broader and more flexible.

During her visit to the U.S., the Vice Premier met with the first group of

representatives of the flagship China-U.S. youth exchange program, ZhiXing

China - Perfect World U.S.-China Young Leaders Fellowship, and welcomed them to

China to personally experience the country. The program is one of the results

of the fifth Annual U.S.-China High-Level Consultation on People-to-People

Exchange, and is a long-term exchange program. It is being implemented by the

China Education Association for International Exchange and the Eisenhower

Fellowships, and is funded by Chinese company Beijing Perfect World Network

Technology Co., Ltd. The program is a proactive attempt by China and the U.S.

to increase cultural exchanges by drawing in both business and private

participants. The program fully and directly demonstrates the new trend in

expanding the channel of cultural exchanges by leveraging social forces.

The Vice Premier mentioned during the event that she had expressed her opinion

when meeting with senior American officials that in order to strengthen

cultural exchanges, China and the U.S. both need to draw in business and

private resources.

China-based Perfect World has been making efforts to enhance the country's

cultural and educational exchanges over the past several years. The company

took part in and supported the ZhiXing China program in the hope of undertaking

its social responsibility at an international level and making contributions to

the global communication of Chinese culture. The ultimate goal of the program

is for the many cultures that make up world civilization to gain a better

understanding of each other.
