“CDF之声”栏目旨在汇聚关注、支持和参与论坛的重要商业领袖，向国内公众和国际社会传递论坛与会代表的心声。

新冠肺炎疫情爆发之后，论坛中外方企业纷纷支持中国的抗疫工作。“CDF之声” 借此推出特别系列，今天发声的是——西门子股份公司总裁兼首席执行官凯飒（Joe Kaeser）。

西门子股份公司总裁兼首席执行官凯飒（Joe Kaeser）一直关注中国的抗疫工作。他表示，目前新型冠状病毒已经在很多国家蔓延，造成了国际性的危机。

为了降低疫情带来的影响，必须在各个层面开展公平与透明的合作。

“我坚信，通过共同努力，我们必将能够相互借鉴，从而找到控制疫情蔓延的最佳措施。”

在中国抗击疫情期间，西门子中国与西门子医疗中国各业务集团向武汉当地医院定向捐赠了价值为1500万元人民币的西门子医疗设备。

西门子提供了187台电机，用于支持武汉火神山医院的中央空调系统；还向雷神山医院提供了配电设备，为其电力运行提供支持。

谈及疫情对经济的影响，凯飒表示，虽然疫情给中国经济带来了巨大挑战，但是影响只是短期的：

“中国的五年规划宏伟全面，战略发展方向明确清晰，我相信中国经济将迅速恢复活力。中国作为世界第二大经济体，始终胸怀大局，着眼长远。”

他同时也期盼中国发展高层论坛尽快在北京举行，继续参与开放和富有建设性的对话。

以下是视频中英文全文：

亲爱的朋友们、合作伙伴们，

我深知，对于你们中的很多人和你们的挚爱亲朋，特别是身在武汉乃至湖北的人们来说，当前是一个充满挑战的时刻。

我们一直在密切关注着中国抗击新型冠状病毒的工作。在此，我代表西门子向那些遭遇不幸的家庭表示深切哀悼。我们也祝愿所有患者都能早日康复，无论他们身在何处。

我们支持中国政府和人民为抗击疫情所做的一切努力。

目前，新型冠状病毒已经在很多国家蔓延，造成了国际性的危机。为了降低疫情带来的影响，我们必须确保在各个层面开展公平与透明的合作。

我坚信，通过共同努力，我们必将能够相互借鉴，从而找到控制疫情蔓延的最佳措施。

我想强调的是，中国政府和人民为遏制疫情传播所做出的努力给我们留下了深刻的印象。

作为中国社会不可或缺的一部分，我们迅速做出响应。西门子中国向疫区医院捐赠了价值约1500万元人民币的西门子医疗设备，来自超过50家西门子在华企业的6000余名员工捐款220万元人民币，全部用于支持中国抗击新型冠状病毒疫情。

目前，我们无法预见疫情将对经济发展产生的全部影响。但可以确定的是：不管是在中国，还是在我们开展业务的全球190个国家和地区，西门子都将不遗余力为缓解经济负面影响做出贡献。

作为一家科技公司，我们全力支持中国的经济复苏。我们已经做好一切准备，帮助全国各地的客户和合作伙伴尽快恢复生产经营。

西门子扎根中国，心系中国。与此同时，我们正在采取一切必要的防控措施，努力确保3.6万余名在中国的员工及其家人的健康和安全。

我相信，抗击疫情，远远不止于在财物方面的支持；我们要为抗击疫情贡献一己之力。西门子将全力以赴帮助中国、中国人民和我们的中国员工共克时艰。

就经济影响而言，显然，这次疫情为中国的经济发展带来了巨大挑战，但这些影响只是短期的。

我坚信，中国经济将保持长期向好势头，不断取得新的成就。中国的五年规划宏伟全面，战略发展方向明确清晰，我相信中国经济将迅速恢复活力。中国作为世界第二大经济体，始终胸怀大局，着眼长远。

我们确信，中国在经历当前的挑战之后将变得更加强大、更富有韧性。西门子将继续致力于为中国的可持续发展做出贡献。

尽管今年的中国发展高层论坛暂时推迟，但我期待着继续参与开放和富有建设性的对话。我希望会议能尽快在北京举行。

我衷心祝愿您和您的家人一切顺利，最重要的是，健康常在！武汉加油！中国加油！

这是来自西门子的问候。共抗疫情，同心致远！谢谢大家!

Dear friends and partners,

I know this is a challenging time for many of you and for your loved ones, especially those of you in Wuhan and Hubei.

As we closely watch the fight against the coronavirus, we at Siemens would like to express our deepest condolences to the families in mourning. And we wish a speedy recovery to all those who have fallen ill no matter where at in the world.

We do support the efforts and measures of the Chinese government and the Chinese people to fight this epidemic.

The virus has now spread to many other countries, making this an international crisis.To overcome its impact, we must make sure there is fair and transparent cooperation at all levels.

I am very confident that by working together, we can learn from each other and identify the best measures for keeping this virus in check.

And I really do have to say, we are very impressed about the China’s government and the Chinese people on how you have been dealing with this drastic topic.

As an integral part of China’s society, we of course took immediate actions. Siemens in China donated Siemens medical equipment worth about 15 million RMB to hospitals in areas which have been affected; and more than 6,000 employees from more than 50 Siemens entities in China donated 2.2 million RMB to China’s efforts in the fight against the coronavirus.

The full impact on the economy is yet to be seen. But what I can say is this: Siemens is committed to offsetting the negative effects on the economy, not just in China, but in all 190 countries in the world that we do business.

As a tech company, we fully support China’s economic recovery and we are already preparing to resume business with our customers and our close partners all across China.

We at Siemens are in China, for China.

At the same time, we are taking all necessary precautions to ensure the health and the safety of our more than 36,000 employees in China and their families.

I do know that this is more than being just about money, but we are here to help. We will put out full power into helping China, our Chinese employees and the Chinese people to overcome the current crisis.

As far as the economic impact is concerned, of course I do know that the virus has taken quite a toll on China’s economic development, but it is only short-term.

I am very confident that China’s long-term economic development will succeed.They have great five-year plans, they have a very clear path of China’s development strategy, so I am very positive about the recovery any time soon. China has always been known and famous for long-term planning, for long-term view, this is the second largest economy in the world.

We do know that China will emerge stronger and more resilient from these challenging times. We at Siemens remain committed to contributing to China’s continued development.

Although this year’s CDF has been postponed, I do look forward to the conversations there, which I’m sure to be open and constructive as always. I look forward to the meeting in Beijing hopefully soon. 

And I do wish you and all your families all the very best, and most importantly, that you stay in good health! Stay strong Wuhan! Stay strong China!

This is the message from Siemens to you. We are here to help, we are here to stay, and we are going to develop together in the future. Thank you very much!
