在启动仪式上，中国外文局局长杜占元致辞指出，中印两国有着2000多年的交往史，中印两大文明的交流对话久远而丰富。得益于持续不断的文化交流、文明互鉴，中印两国一直和平共处并积极地互相影响，结下了跨越千年的深厚友谊。建交70年来，中印关系历经风雨，走过了不平凡的历程。面向未来，两国更应看到面临的许多共同挑战，比如抗击疫情、经济下行、气候变化、生态破坏、恐怖主义等等。这些共同挑战可以成为中印两国求同存异、跨越分歧、携手合作的出发点。两国应相向而行，共同承担起维护亚洲和平稳定、实现亚洲繁荣振兴的历史责任和时代使命。

Du Zhanyuan said in his speech at the launching ceremony that China and India have witnessed prolonged and rich exchanges which have lasted for over 2,000 years. Benefitting from the constant cultural exchanges and mutual learning, China and India have been coexisting peacefully and influencing each other in a positive manner, which has resulted in friendship for thousands of years. Since the two countries established diplomatic ties 70 years ago, their relations have gone through an extraordinary path. In the future, China and India should eye challenges facing both countries, such as epidemic prevention and control, economic downturns, climate change, ecological destruction, and terrorism. By dealing with these challenges, the two countries can seek common ground while shelving differences and cooperate with each other. The two countries should strike the same tone, jointly safeguard the peace and stability of Asia and forge ahead for the prosperity of this continent.

中国人民对外友好协会会长林松添在讲话中强调，中国与印度同为世界文明古国，共同为人类文明进步作出了历史性贡献。两国人民都崇尚和谐、热爱和平，有着求同存异的相似文化基因。在中印两大文明漫长的交往历史中，和平友好始终是主流。当前，世界正在经历百年未有之大变局。中印两国友好互利合作不仅有利于新兴市场和发展中国家团结合作，更将为充满不确定性的世界注入更多稳定剂和正能量。

Lin Songtian stressed that as ancient civilizations in the world, both China and India have made historic contributions to the progress of human civilization. The people of our two countries advocate the philosophy of harmony and love peace, he said. We both have similar cultural genes of seeking common ground while shelving differences. Lin pointed out that at present, the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century. The friendly and mutually beneficial cooperation between China and India will be conducive to the unity and cooperation among emerging markets and developing countries to jointly defeat the COVID-19 pandemic at an early date and revitalize the economy. It can also serve as a stabilizer and inject positive energy into the world full of uncertainty.

中国驻印大使孙卫东在线上参与了本次启动仪式。他在致辞中表示，本次云图片展让人们得以从更宽广的历史视角看待中印关系，从中得出诸多启示：第一，友好合作是主流;第二，人文交流是根基;第三，互学互鉴是动力;第四，美丽生态是财富。他呼吁，中印双方应加倍努力，相向而行，按照两国领导人指引，加强对话和交流，克服困难和挑战，推动中印关系走上健康稳定的发展轨道。

Chinese Ambassador to India Sun Weidong noted that the photo exhibition presents us with a beautiful landscape of the splendid symbiosis of the two civilizations. It also allows us to look at China-India relations from a broader historical perspective, and draw inspirations from it, he said. First, friendly cooperation is the mainstream; Second, cultural and people-to-people exchanges are the foundation; Third, mutual learning is the driving force; Fourth, beautiful ecology is the wealth. He called on the two peoples to follow the guidance of their leaders, redouble their efforts to meet each other halfway, strengthen dialogue and exchanges, and overcome difficulties and challenges, in order to put China-India relations on the track of healthy and stable development.

“新南亚论坛”创始人库尔卡尼表示，中印两国在任何情况下都要坚持和发展友谊，促进合作。两国需要不断促进各个层面的对话。通过对话，两国能增进对彼此的了解，互相了解则带来合作共赢。合作共赢会增强两国互信，而互信使两国和平友谊的纽带更加牢固。中印之间合作需求巨大，合作领域广泛。这关乎双方的共同发展，也关乎世界的和平与进步。

Sudheendra Kulkarni emphasized preserving and strengthening India-China friendship and cooperation under all circumstances. We need constant dialogue between India and China at multiple levels, he said. Through dialogue comes understanding; through understanding comes win-win cooperation. Win-win cooperation builds mutual trust, and mutual trust builds stronger bonds of peace and friendship, Kulkarni said. There is immense need and immeasurable scope for India and China to work together, for mutual development and for peace and progress in the world.

印度尼赫鲁大学中国与东南亚研究中心教授狄伯杰认为，在过去两千年里，中印两国的文化交流一直不曾中断。在当代，两国进一步认识到了双边关系的重要性。他呼吁两国珍视友谊，推动双边关系健康稳定发展。

B. R. Deepak stated in his video speech that China and India have had an uninterrupted flow of cross-cultural connections for two millennia. He believes during the contemporary period China and India have forged an understanding that the relationship is extremely important and it is capable of deciding the future of the global order. He noted that the two countries should cherish the India-China relationship and take it further.

印度尼赫鲁大学东亚研究中心主任谢钢谈到，他对中国的研究始于1983年。彼时，他的印度老师鼓励他“好好研究这个在过去几十年经历了一系列重要社会变革”的国家。谢钢认为，中印建交七十年来，双方签署了一系列重要的协议和文件。这些基础性协议和文件确保了双边关系的稳定。

Srikanth Kondapalli said that he started his journey in Chinese studies in 1983 when one of his teachers suggested he look at China because China had gone through social engineering projects in the last seven decades. He added that in the seven decades since the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and China, both countries have signed a number of institutional arrangements and some foundational agreements. These foundational agreements have provided stability to bilateral relations.

北京大学印度研究中心主任王邦维认为，历史上中印互相欣赏。近代以来，两个国家发展变化很快，相互了解、欣赏都不够。时至今日，中印需要更多的了解，更多的理解，更多的相互欣赏。今天的中印两国人民应该共同努力，增强了解和互信。

Wang Bangwei said that China and India appreciated each other in history. Since modern times, the two countries have evolved too fast to learn from each other. Today, China and India need to understand and appreciate each other on a deeper level. The two peoples should work together to enhance mutual understanding and trust.
