以下为中英文原文：

女士们，先生们：

首先，我衷心祝贺中国和中国的运动员。中国成功举办了2022年冬奥会，并在此次冬奥会上取得了十分耀眼的成绩。

今年的中国发展高层论坛再次将大家齐聚一堂，就共同关心的议题展开讨论。在当前的政治和经济形势下，本次论坛显得尤为重要。这也体现了中国作为世界第二大经济体在全球可持续发展中的重要作用。

与此同时，今年也是我连续第七次参加中国发展高层论坛，我很荣幸能就“共建美好未来”这一话题，与来自世界各地的商界领袖各抒己见。我很高兴看到，沃尔沃集团的可持续发展战略与这一目标十分契合，而且我相信这一目标要达成必须通过“重建发展与合作共识”，而这也正是今年中国发展高层论的主题。

2022年正值沃尔沃集团进入中国30周年。自1992年在北京设立首个办事处以来我们参与并见证了中国30年来的巨大变迁。回顾这段历程我们看到，中国政府一直在着力提高改革开放的水平和质量。

中国政府取得的这些成就令我们印象深刻同时也为自己曾经参与其中感到自豪。我时常回忆起我多次出差到中国各地与业务伙伴、客户和供应商会面，并与我的同事还有学术界人士一起探讨合作方向、共促未来发展等话题。

我也很开心有机会体验中国文化，当然还有中华美食，一起沟通交流，我十分欣慰看到中国所取得的这些成绩都离不开致力于推动发展与合作的决心。凭借这些成就和不断改善的营商环境，中国过去是并且一直是吸引外商直接投资的热门地区。与此同时，我们获得了一个里程碑式的突破，沃尔沃卡车签署了一项关于收购山西省一家卡车生产基地的协议这都归功于中国取消商用车外资股比的决定。

展望未来，我们看到中国正在经历一场转型，面向高质量的发展模式，以及更加绿色、更加平衡和创新驱动型的经济模式。

对沃尔沃集团而言，我们坚信转型势在必行，一场面向可持续交通运输、物流和基础设施系统的转型已经开始，这一转型必将加速，并带来巨大机遇特别是在互联化、自动化、电气化和新能源系统领域。作为在全球范围内推动这一转型的主导力量，我们满怀信心与我们中国的合作伙伴和客户共同合作，抓住机遇，帮助他们实现脱碳和业务增长的双重目标。

历经30年的深入发展与合作，中国已成为沃尔沃集团拥有多个业务领域的少数市场之一。近年来，我们已将多个业务的亚太地区总部迁往中国，并成功与山东临工和东风商用车公司成立了合资公司。除此之外，我们还积极参与社会活动，例如，我们去年在四川的野生大熊猫栖息地附近举办了可持续发展研讨会并不断深化与欠发达地区小学的合作。

最后，我衷心希望在这个高级别平台上的对话能够产生更切实和积极的影响，来扶持我们所处行业的合作和发展。我们期待通过可持续交通和基础设施推动社会繁荣发展共建我们理想的明天。预祝今年的中国发展高层论坛圆满成功。

谢谢大家。

Firstly, I would like to sincerely congratulate China and Chinese athletes on the successful hosting of the 2022 Winter Olympics and their impressive performance. This year’s CDF once again brought all parties together to discuss topics of common interest and concern. It is particularly important in face of the current political and economic landscape. It also demonstrates China's role as the world’s 2nd largest economy in global sustainable development.

At the same time, I am honored to have joined this grand gathering for the 7th consecutive year where I exchange views and ideas for a better Shared Future with the business leaders from around the world. I am glad to see that Volvo Group’s sustainability strategy is well in line with this shared goal and I believe it’s a journey that can only be done through Rebuilding Consensus on Development and Cooperation which is also the theme of this year’s CDF.

The year 2022 marks the 30 years’ anniversary of our operation in China. Since the establishment of our first representative office in Beijing in 1992 we have witnessed and contributed to the transformations China has been through over the past three decades. Looking back at this journey we observe that the Chinese government has been putting solid efforts on the standard and quality of reform and opening-up. We are impressed by the achievements while being truly grateful to have been part of it. And I often recall my many travels and meetings in different parts of China with business partners, with customers and suppliers and of course also with colleagues and academia where we have discussed how we can cooperate and develop things together.

I’m also happy that I had the time to experience culture and of course the food and just changing ideas together and I’m excited to see all the progress China achieved by the determination to drive development and cooperation. With all the achievements and continuously improving business environment, China has been and remains an attractive destination for foreign direct investment and we also achieved a major milestone –Volvo Trucks signed an agreement about the acquisition of a local production facility in Shanxi province all of which was made possible by the removal of foreign equity cap in commercial vehicle manufacturers.

Looking into the future, we all know that China is shifting to pursue a high-quality development model and a greener, more balanced and innovation-driven economy. For Volvo Group, we also believe the transformation into a sustainable transport, logistics and infrastructure system has started. It will accelerate and create great opportunities in connectivity, automation, electrification and new energy systems. As a leading force driving this transformation globally, we have strong confidence to collaborate with our Chinese partners and customers to capture these opportunities and achieve their goals both in decarbonization and business development.

Building on 30 years of deep-rooted development and collaboration, China has become one of the few markets where multiple Volvo Group business areas present. Recently, we’ve relocated a number of APAC headquarters to China and have successful joint ventures with SDLG and Dongfeng Commercial Vehicles. In addition to that, we’ve been actively engaged with the society for example, initiating a sustainability seminar near a Panda rehabilitation area in Si’Chuan last year, and continuously deepening our engagements with elementary schools in less-developed areas.

Before I end, I sincerely hope that dialogues in this high-level platform will generate more concrete and positive influence to support the collaboration and development in our industry. We look forward to co-creating a more sustainable transport system that makes societies prosper and builds a world that we want to live in. I wish this year’s CDF a great success.

Thank you.
