中国发展高层论坛2026年年会

外方主席信

蒂姆·库克 (Tim Cook)

尊敬的来宾、各位代表：

二十多年来，中国发展高层论坛始终是一个举足轻重的促进对话交流、推动经济发展、深化中国与世界联系的平台。我非常感谢国务院发展研究中心和中国发展研究基金会长期致力于推动中国同全球工商界的交流合作。同时，也期待在未来两天内同各位围绕共同关心的重要议题深入交流、凝聚共识。

我已代表苹果公司访问中国将近30年。在这段岁月中，我亲眼见证了这里所取得的卓然非凡的发展成就。如今，中国已经坐拥一批全球最具活力的城市，而每一次来访，我都能深切感受到在这片土地上正在蓬勃涌现着的创新精神与创造活力。

本届论坛将聚焦高质量发展这一核心议题，这既是中国“十五五”规划的核心发展目标，也引发了工商界的广泛共鸣。正如我们过去的实践所深刻昭示的：创新、可持续发展、以及卓有成效地投资于人，正是实现持久稳健增长的根本基础。

如今在中国，这种精神随处可见，生生不息。我看到，我们的供应链伙伴们正在积极推动制造业转型升级，迈向更智能、更绿色的发展模式；我也看到，软件开发者们正在打造各类应用，重塑人们学习与创造的方式；我还看到，那些正在中国各地高校中钻研环境科学与创新发展的莘莘学子，正立志攻克世界上最复杂的前沿挑战。

这些事例皆是中国非凡发展历程的生动缩影，亦是本论坛矢志弘扬的发展成就的有力印证。中国发展高层论坛为中外工商界领袖搭建了弥足珍贵的交流平台，就当今时代最紧迫的议题开展坦诚务实、富有深度的研讨。在当今风云变幻的世界中，我相信此类交流互鉴的重要性愈发凸显。

在苹果，我们对中国各地取得的卓越发展成就满怀信心，并始终致力于通过携手合作，充分释放其发展潜能。我们需要持续深化交流互鉴，深刻认识到即使在变局交织的时代，每个人依然拥有共享繁荣、共同发展的广阔机遇。同时，我们也更需要不断探索，如何做到让增长既更加富有内涵，又更具创新性和可持续性，并真正为人类和我们的社区创造更为深远的影响。

中国有句古话始终提醒我们，众人拾柴火焰高。这正是我所期待本届论坛能够注入的精神力量。感谢各位共同参与到这场至关重要的对话之中。

Message from the Co-Chair

Tim Cook

Chief Executive Officer, Apple Inc.

Distinguished guests and fellow delegates,

For more than a quarter-century, the China Development Forum has been an essential gathering that has helped foster important dialogue, promote economic development, and strengthen ties between China and the world. I am deeply grateful to the Development Research Centre of the State Council and the China Development Research Foundation for engaging with the global business community, and I look forward to a productive exchange of ideas over the next two days.

I have been visiting China with Apple for nearly 30 years now. During that time, the progress I have witnessed is nothing short of extraordinary. Today, China is home to some of the world's most dynamic cities, and on every visit I am struck by the creativity and ingenuity flourishing across the country.

This year's forum will focus on high quality development. In addition to being a central goal of China's 15th Five-Year Plan, this is a theme that resonates with many of us in the business community because it reflects something we've learned through experience: innovation, sustainability, and meaningful investment in people are foundational to durable growth.

In China today, that spirit is alive everywhere I look. I see it in our supply chain partners transforming manufacturing to make it smarter and greener. I see it in developers building apps that change how people learn and create. I see it in young people studying environmental science and innovation at universities across China, determined to tackle some of the world's most complex challenges.

These stories are all part of China's remarkable journey. They are also powerful examples of the progress this forum exists to champion. The China Development Forum offers leaders from China and the international business community an invaluable platform for open, substantive discussion about the most pressing issues of our time. In today's rapidly changing world, I believe this kind of engagement has never been more essential.

At Apple, we are optimistic about the incredible advances happening across the country, and we're committed to realizing their full potential by working together. We need to continue engaging, recognizing that, even in uncertain times, there are opportunities for everyone to prosper. And we have to keep asking how growth can be not just meaningful, but more innovative, more sustainable, and more impactful for the people and communities we serve.

As the Chinese proverb reminds us, when everyone participates in gathering the firewood, the flames rise higher. That is the spirit I hope will animate this year's China Development Forum. Thank you for being part of this important conversation.
