托马斯·阿蒙（Tomaz Amon，斯洛文尼亚），博士，斯洛文尼亚公司Bioanim的创始人，现任斯洛文尼亚中国友好协会主席。

今年在我身边发生了两件值得庆贺的事情。一是我的祖国斯洛文尼亚和中国建交30周年。中国有句古话“三十而立”。中斯两国相互尊重、平等相待，中斯人文交流日益深入、互利共赢，两国友谊源远流长。二是我有幸观看了中国共产党第二十次全国代表大会的开幕，认真聆听了中国领导人的报告。看到在中国共产党的领导下，中国在各领域取得的空前成就，我深受鼓舞。

斯洛文尼亚是冬季运动强国，冬季运动合作成为两国人文交流的亮点。斯洛文尼亚工程师深度参与北京冬奥会地标建筑——国家跳台滑雪中心“雪如意”的建设，斯洛文尼亚运动员也获得了在“雪如意”产生的首枚金牌。中国跳台滑雪国家集训队长期在斯洛文尼亚训练，中国冬季运动会北欧两项等项目的比赛曾在斯洛文尼亚举行。在北京冬奥会前夕，斯洛文尼亚奥委会发起一项环保活动，用电动汽车把斯洛文尼亚最高峰的冰川样本运送至北京冬奥会，在倡导关注气候变化、保护高山冰川的同时，支持北京冬奥会可持续发展的理念，表达对北京冬奥会的祝福。人文交流拉近了中斯人民心与心的距离，也不断为两国友好发展注入新动力和正能量。

2019年12月，我来到深圳参加亚太经济合作组织工商咨询理事会亚太中小企业峰会。这个会议代表了亚太地区工商企业界的声音，是各成员经济体政策交流分享的平台。在这个会议上，我深刻地认识到中国是国际企业发展的沃土，中国市场非常的庞大和繁荣。回国后，我向当地的中小企业宣传推广了中国的市场环境、政策支持。我身边的一些学者和企业家也表示，未来会考虑将中国作为他们国际发展的起点。2020年，由于新冠肺炎疫情暴发，各国都加大了防控措施，尽可能地减少因人员流动造成的交叉感染和扩散。我非常理解并支持这样的防范措施。虽然无法及时到中国和我的中国伙伴面对面交流，但互联网给我们带来了极大的帮助。我们通过网络和中国建立了密切联系，建立了“美丽的斯洛文尼亚”网站（网络域名 www.aftercovid.si）。网站以360度高分辨率全景照片的形式展示斯洛文尼亚人文风景，目前正在持续更新中，我也在各种活动会议上大力推介这个项目。网站获得了众多国际人士的好评。我计划在日后拓展网页功能，结合当地道路信息，以360度街景形式展示斯洛文尼亚最美的一面。当疫情结束或缓解的那一天，我们也真挚地欢迎和期待中国人民到斯洛文尼亚旅行并开展交流活动。我们一直在为未来努力准备着！

最近我也认真学习了中共二十大报告，非常开心看到中国领导人在报告中指出，要“推进高水平对外开放”“推动共建‘一带一路’高质量发展”“维护多元稳定的国际经济格局和经贸关系”。中国还会推进新型工业化，加快建设制造强国、网络强国、数字中国，这说明在中国快速发展的同时，必然会给其他国家也带来巨大且繁荣的市场。报告还指出，在文化方面中国会“促进群众体育和竞技体育全面发展”。斯洛文尼亚中国友好协会一直积极推动斯洛文尼亚与中国在教育、文化、科学、经济、体育等领域的合作。我们也致力于促成斯洛文尼亚和中国的城市结成友好关系，助力中斯友好友谊，加强中斯文化、科技交流与合作，践行习近平主席构建人类命运共同体的理念。

中共二十大还强调了国际合作的重要性。正像我之前提到的，全球的线下交流确实遇到了一些困难，但中斯之间的合作不会就此止步。我们经常举办一些线上对接交流会，不断推动双方企业在文化、科学技术、贸易等领域的交流和合作。

在新时代的新征程上，我祝愿在中共二十大精神指引下，中国将更加繁荣昌盛。祝愿斯洛文尼亚人民与中国人民的友谊长盛不衰！

Two things happened around me this year that deserve my congratulations.The flrst thing is the 30th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between my motherland,Slovenia and China.There is an old saying in China,“At thirty,a man stood firm.” China and Slovenia respect each other and treat each other as equals.The people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and Slovenia have deepened,with mutual beneflt and win-win results.The friendship between the two countries has a long history.The second thing is that I was honored to watch the opening meeting of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).I listened carefully to the reports of Chinese leaders and saw the unprecedented achievements China has made in various flelds under the leadership of the Communist Party of China.I am deeply encouraged.

Slovenia is a strong country in winter sports,and winter sports cooperation has become a highlight of people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries.Slovenian engineers were deeply involved in constructing the national ski jumping center “Xue Ruyi,” the landmark building of the Beijing Winter Olympics,and the country’s athletes also won the flrst gold medal in “Xue Ruyi.” The Chinese national ski jumping training team has been training in Slovenia for a long time,and the Nordic biathlon and other events of the National Winter Games of China were held in Slovenia.On the eve of the Beijing Winter Olympics,the Slovenian Olympic Committee launched an environmental protection activity,using electric vehicles to transport samples of the highest glacier in Slovenia to the Beijing Winter Olympics.While advocating attention to climate change and protecting alpine glaciers,it supports the concept of sustainable development of the Beijing Winter Olympics,expressing blessings to the Beijing Winter Olympics.People-topeople and cultural exchanges have brought closer the hearts of the Chinese and Slovenian people.They have continuously injected new impetus and positive energy into the development of bilateral relations.

In December 2019,I came to Shenzhen to participate in the Asia-Paciflc Economic Cooperation Business Advisory Council Asia-Paciflc SME Summit.This meeting represents the business community’s voice in the Asia-Paciflc region and is a platform for policy exchange and sharing among member economies.At this event,I learned that China is a fertile ground for developing international enterprises,and the Chinese market is enormous and prosperous.After I returned to Slovenia,I promoted the Chinese market environment and policy support to local SMEs.Some scholars and entrepreneurs around me also said that China could be a starting point for their international development in the future.In 2020,due to the global outbreak of COVID-19,all countries stepped up prevention and control measures to reduce cross-infection as much as possible.I fully understand and support such preventive measures.Although it is impossible to reach China in time to communicate with my Chinese partners face to face,the Internet has brought us great help.We have established close contact with China online and found the website“The Beauty of Slovenia” (www.aftercovid.si),where we present the Slovenian cultural landscape in the form of 360-degree high-resolution panoramic photos.This website is continuously updated,and I also vigorously promote this project at various events and conferences.Many international people have well received this website.I plan to expand the webpage’s functionality in the future and combine the local road information to show the most beautiful side of Slovenia in the form of a 360-degree street view.When the epidemic ends or eases,we also sincerely welcome and look forward to the Chinese people’s travel and exchange activities in Slovenia.We have been working hard to prepare for the future!

Recently,I have also carefully studied the report of the 20th National Congress of the CPC.I am thrilled that the Chinese leader pointed out in the statement that high-level opening up is crucial.Promote the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative,and maintain a diversifled and stable international economic pattern and economic and trade relations.China will also promote a new type of industrialization and accelerate the construction of manufacturing power,network power,and digital China.This shows that while China is developing rapidly,it will inevitably bring huge and prosperous markets to other countries.The report also pointed out that in terms of culture,China will promote the comprehensive development of sports and competitive sports.The China-Slovenia Friendship Association has been actively promoting cooperation between Slovenia and China in education,culture,science,economy,and sports.We have also facilitated the formation of friendly relations between Slovenian and Chinese cities,contributed to the friendship between China and Slovenia,strengthened cultural and technological exchanges and cooperation between China and Slovenia,and practiced President Xi Jinping’s goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

The 20th National Congress of the CPC also emphasized the importance of international cooperation.As I mentioned,global offline communication has encountered some difficulties,but the collaboration between China and Slovenia will not stop there.We often hold some online matchmaking and exchange meetings,which further promotes the exchanges and cooperation between enterprises of both sides in the flelds of culture,science and technology,and trade.

On the new journey in the new era,I wish that China will be more prosperous under the guidance of the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the CPC.Long last,the friendship between the Slovenian people and the Chinese people!
