Cooperation in other fields can be addressed preceded by necessary consultations.

认为三海港区合作将使各国在港口、铁路、公路、内河航运等基础设施建设和产业发展升级方面的需求和优势更好结合，符合17国发展需求，进而促进中欧关系发展；

The leaders believe that Adriatic-Baltic-Black Sea Seaport Cooperation would serve the development needs of all 17 countries, and would thereby contribute to closer EU-China relations, by synergizing their specific demands and advantages for infrastructure development and industrial upgrading, in particular construction of ports, roads, railways and inland navigation routes, with a view to facilitating economic growth of each country and across the region;

指出三海港区合作有助于扩大中国—中东欧国家务实合作覆盖面，促进长远可持续发展，推动“一带一路”建设、中东欧国家发展战略、欧盟泛欧交通网络建设有效对接；

The leaders point out that Adriatic-Baltic-Black Sea Seaport Cooperation would help widen the scope of China-CEEC practical cooperation, promote sustainable development in the long run, and contribute to greater synergy between the Belt and Road Initiative, development strategies of CEECs and the EU’s Trans-European Transport Network.

愿意秉持优势互补、合作共赢、共同发展的原则，按照现行的法律法规、商业与市场原则且符合中国与中东欧国家利益的方式，共同推进三海港区合作取得更大发展。

The Countries are ready to jointly advance Adriatic-Baltic-Black Sea Seaport Cooperation, under the principle of drawing upon each other’s strengths, win-win cooperation and common development, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, business and market principles, and the interests of China and CEECs.
