中國出資設立基金以減少全球貧困

China and the World bank signed an agreement on Thursday to set up a $50 million fund to help reduce poverty。

週四，中國和世界銀行簽署協議，設立一項5000萬美元的基金來幫助減少貧困。

The initiative comes on top of their joint efforts to combat the downward pressure on the world economy and advance China’s health reforms。

除此之外，雙方還共同努力，應對世界經濟下滑壓力，並推進中國醫療改革進程。

Premier Li Keqiang, who met with Kim after the signing ceremony, said China is willing to strengthen its partnership with the World Bank。

李克強總理在簽字儀式後會見了世界銀行行長金墉，稱中國願意加強同世界銀行的合作夥伴關係。

The government is paying great attention to suggestions on China’s health reforms arising from joint research by the bank and the World Health Organization, he said。

他表示，中國政府高度重視世界銀行和世界衛生組織在對中國醫療改革做出聯合研究後提出的建議。

Li told Kim that the Chinese economy has great resilience, potential and room for maneuver. He was speaking a day after the country posted a better-than-expected GDP growth figure of 7 percent for the second quarter。

李克強向金墉介紹，中國經濟有着強勁的韌性、潛力、和迴旋的空間。此前一天，中國剛發佈了好於預期的GDP增長，增幅達7%。

Li said the government is capable of handling various risks in the field of economic development and maintaining a healthy level of growth。

李克強稱，中國政府有能力應對經濟發展中的風險，並保持經濟健康發展。

"Over the years, China and the World Bank have cooperated closely,’ he added。

他說：“多年來，中國和世界銀行緊密合作。”

Finance Minister Lou Jiwei said the establishment of the trust fund signals that "our partnership with existing multilateral development banks is growing, even as we support new ones"。

中國財政部長樓繼偉表示，這一信託基金的建立表明，“我們在支持新成立的多邊開發銀行的同時，與現有多邊開發銀行的合作也在不斷髮展。”

"We will continue to partner with the World Bank in fighting poverty and promoting development," Lou added。

他補充道：“我們將繼續與世界銀行合作，消除貧困並促進發展。”

Kim began a three-day visit to China on Wednesday. He and Li discussed the global economy, development finance and health reforms。

金墉週三開始對中國爲期3天的訪問，他同李克強總理討論了世界經濟金融的發展，以及中國醫療改革等問題。

Kim said China is a strong partner of the World Bank Group. "I look forward to a continued strong, cooperative and productive relationship," he added。

金墉稱，中國是世界銀行強有力的合作伙伴，還強調：“我期待能夠繼續同中國發展強勁、協同、富有成效的合作關係。”
