杨洁篪外长在中非外长第二次联大政治磋商的致辞

尊敬的哈桑副外长,尊敬的让·平主席,各位同事,女士们,先生们:
在联合国千年发展目标高级别会议召开的重要时刻,中非新朋老友再次聚集一堂,就重大国际和地区问题交换看法,为中非合作深入发展规划前景,具有重要意义。在此,我首先对各位同事与会表示衷心感谢和热烈欢迎!
去年11月,中非合作论坛第四届部长级会议在埃及沙姆沙伊赫成功举行,成为中非关系发展新的起点。在不到一年的时间里,中非双方携手努力,推动落实会议成果,成效显著。中方新8项举措全面推进,免债、免关税、提供优惠贷款、设立非洲中小企业发展专项贷款等举措逐步实施,“中非科技伙伴计划”和“中非联合研究交流计划”先后启动,援建清洁能源项目、农技示范中心、中非友好学校取得积极进展。在论坛的引领下,中非政治交往更加密切,务实合作更加深入,人文交流更加频繁,推进新型战略伙伴关系的意愿更加坚定。我相信,在中非双方共同努力下,论坛部长会成果一定能够得到全面、有效落实,并把中非合作推向新的高度!
各位同事,女士们,先生们,当前,国际形势继续发生复杂深刻的变化。世界多极化和经济全球化深入发展,国际格局正经历重大的调整与变革。和平、发展、合作的时代潮流更加强劲,多边主义和国际关系民主化深入人心。与此同时,国际金融危机深层次的影响还在不断显现,世界经济复苏的脆弱性和不平衡性进一步突出。国际和地区热点问题此起彼伏,气候变化、能源资源、粮食、公共卫生安全等全球性问题日益突出,国际形势中仍存在诸多不稳定不确定因素。
非洲的和平与发展既面临重要机遇,也需要应对严峻挑战。近年来,非洲总体形势继续朝积极方向发展,和平稳定大局进一步巩固,经济复苏势头良好。非洲国家加强联合自强,积极参与国际事务,在重大全球性问题上的集体影响力不断上升。但我们也看到,非洲局部地区和平稳定局面仍较脆弱,一些热点问题长期得不到解决,恐怖主义、海盗、传染病、气候变化等非传统安全威胁上升。国际金融危机对非洲经济、社会的冲击增加了非洲按期实现千年发展目标的难度。
建设持久和平、共同繁荣的和谐世界,离不开非洲的和平与发展。我们认为,发展是实现非洲和平的基础。冲突往往与贫困相伴而生,并形成恶性循环。从根本上讲,非洲的长治久安取决于能否加快经济和社会发展,能否实现发展红利的普惠。我们支持非洲国家以和平方式,通过协商、谈判解决争端,鼓励非洲国家发挥资源优势、后发优势,励精图治,谋求发展。我们主张,非洲发展道路应由非洲人民来选择。任何国家要实现发展,都必须走符合自身国情的道路。我们尊重非洲国家主权和自主选择发展道路的权利,相信非洲人民有智慧、有能力通过自身不懈努力实现经济振兴和社会进步。我们呼吁,国际社会,特别是发达国家应切实承担起帮助非洲发展的责任,切实兑现增加援助、减免债务、开放市场、转让技术等方面的承诺,推动多哈回合谈判取得积极、全面、平衡的成果,为非洲发展创造有利的外部条件。发达国家特别要尽快落实气候变化领域对非资金支持和技术转让的承诺,切实帮助非洲提高适应和应对气候变化的能力。
今年是联合国制定千年发展目标10周年。我们齐聚联大,肩负着推动落实千年发展目标的重要使命。昨天,中国国务院总理温家宝在联合国千年发展目标高级别会议上全面阐述了中国政府在发展问题上的立场,并宣布了中国支持发展中国家发展的重要举措。我们希望国际社会能进一步凝聚政治共识,增加发展投入,保障发展资源,以更加有效的行动帮助非洲尽早实现千年发展目标。
各位同事,女士们,先生们,中非合作是促进非洲和平与发展的重要力量,也是促进世界和平与发展的重要力量。当前,中非关系发生了历史性变化,已超出双边关系范畴,影响着世界发展进程。我们应从战略高度进一步加强中非合作,实现共同发展,并为提升发展中国家在国际政治、经济格局中的整体地位,推动建立更加公正、合理的国际政治、经济秩序作出积极贡献。中方愿与非方一道,在以下几方面加强团结合作:
第一,扩大多边合作,积极应对全球性挑战。共同推动国际经济金融体系改革,支持增加发展中国家在国际金融机构中的代表性和发言权,强化国际金融机构的发展和减贫职能。中方支持非洲在国际经济事务中发挥更大作用,支持增加非洲在二十国集团和国际货币基金组织中的代表性和发言权。致力于加强同非洲在重大全球性问题上的合作,共同推动国际社会关注发展中国家诉求,维护发展中国家正当权益。中方愿在南南合作和中非合作论坛框架下,同非方一道加紧建设“中非应对气候变化伙伴关系”,推动坎昆会议取得积极成果。
第二,深化务实合作,加紧落实千年发展目标。共同推动国际经济秩序和贸易体系向有利于发展中国家的方向转变,为发展中国家实现千年发展目标创造良好的外部环境。推动国际社会尤其是发达国家加大对发展问题的支持和投入。中方将认真落实温总理宣布的有关支持发展中国家发展的重要举措,以及中非合作论坛第四届部长级会议成果,帮助非洲提升自主发展能力,早日实现千年发展目标。
第三,加强安全合作,推动实现非洲持久和平。中方将大力支持非盟等地区组织加强自身维和能力建设,呼吁国际社会,特别是联合国加大对非盟在索马里维和行动的支持。中方反对任何旨在干扰和阻碍非洲热点问题和平解决进程的行径,支持非盟在国际刑事法院起诉苏丹领导人问题上的立场。中方将继续通过各种渠道建设性参与非洲热点问题的解决,积极参与联合国在非洲维和行动。
第四,完善机制合作,继续拓展论坛发展空间。中非合作论坛既是中非友好的产物,也是中非合作不断深化的重要平台和“助推器”,在中非关系中发挥着不可替代的作用,也已成为国际对非合作的知名“品牌”。中非双方都有责任维护好、发展好中非合作论坛,不断完善论坛机制建设,丰富论坛内涵,创新合作模式,使之更紧密地契合时代的脉动,更好地促进中非关系,造福于中非人民。
谢谢大家!
Remarks by Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi At the Second Round of Ministerial Political Consultations Between China and Africa New York, 23 September 2010 2010/09/27
Your Excellency Deputy Foreign Minister Mr.Ibrahim A.Hassan Your Excellency Chairman Jean Ping, Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, I declare the beginning of the second round of ministerial political consultations between China and Africa.At the important moment when the United Nations meets for the High-level Plenary Meeting on the Millennium Development Goals(MDGs), we are once again gathered here to exchange views on major international and regional issues and draw up plans for deeper China-Africa cooperation in the future.Our meeting today is indeed of great significance.I wish to first extend sincere thanks and warm welcome to all the colleagues present.Last November, the Fourth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation(FOCAC)was successfully held in Sharm El Sheikh of Egypt.It marked a new starting point of China-Africa relations.In less than one year, notable results have been achieved in delivering the outcomes of the conference, thanks to our joint efforts.The eight new measures announced by China are being followed through across the board.Steps have been taken to implement the measures regarding debt relief, tariff exemption, concessional loans and the establishment of a special loan for small and medium-sized African businesses.The China-Africa Science and Technology Partnership and China-Africa Joint Research and Exchange Program have been launched in succession.And good progress has been made in building the clean energy facilities, agricultural technology demonstration centers and China-Africa friendship schools in Africa.Under the guidance of FOCAC, China and Africa have strengthened political exchanges, deepened practical cooperation and expanded cultural and people-to-people interactions.The two sides now have an even stronger will to advance the new type of China-Africa strategic partnership.I am confident that with the concerted efforts of China and Africa, the outcomes of the FOCAC ministerial conference will be implemented in a comprehensive and effective way and China-Africa cooperation will reach a new high.Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, We are witnessing complex and profound changes in the international situation.The world is moving further towards multi-polarity and economic globalization, and the global architecture is going through major adjustments and transformation.The trend of the times towards peace, development and cooperation has gained stronger momentum.And multilateralism and greater democracy in international relations now enjoy more popular support.On the other hand, the underlying impact of the international financial crisis is still being felt and the fragility and imbalance of world economic recovery has become more evident.International and regional hotspot issues keep flaring up.And global issues such as climate change, energy and resource security, food security and public health security have been thrown into sharp relief.There still exist many destabilizing factors and uncertainties in the international situation.Africa faces both important opportunities and severe challenges in pursuing peace and development.In recent years, the situation in Africa has on the whole been moving in the positive direction.Peace and stability have been strengthened and the economy has shown good momentum of recovery.African countries have intensified efforts to seek greater strength through unity and actively participated in international affairs.Their collective influence on major global issues has been on the rise.Yet we are also aware that peace and stability in some parts of Africa is still fragile.Some long-standing hotspot issues remain unresolved, and non-traditional security threats, including terrorism, piracy, communicable diseases and climate change, are looming large.The impact of the international financial crisis on the African economy and society has added to Africa’s difficulty in achieving the MDGs as scheduled.A harmonious world of enduring peace and common prosperity would not be possible without peace and development in Africa.We believe that development is the foundation for peace in Africa.Conflict and poverty often come hand in hand and form a vicious cycle.If Africa is to achieve durable peace and stability, it needs to speed up economic and social development and let all the people share the benefits of development.We support African countries in peacefully settling their disputes through consultation and negotiation, and encourage them to vigorously pursue development by giving full play to their strength in resources and advantage of being a late starter.We maintain that the development path of Africa should be a choice for the African people to make.Every country needs to take a path suited to its national conditions if it wants to achieve development.We respect the sovereignty of African countries and their right to independently choose their development paths.We believe that the African people have the wisdom and ability to achieve economic prosperity and social progress through their own unremitting efforts.We call on the international community, developed countries in particular, to earnestly fulfill its responsibility of helping Africa achieve development, faithfully honor its commitment of aid increase, debt relief, market access and technology transfer, work for positiFZSve, comprehensive and balanced outcomes at the Doha round negotiations, and create a favorable external environment for the development of African countries.It is of particular importance for developed countries to deliver as soon as possible their commitments of financial support and technology transfer to Africa for combating climate change, and help Africa build stronger capacity for adapting to and tackling climate change.This year marks the tenth anniversary of the adoption of the UN MDGs, and we are gathered here at the UN General Assembly with the important mission of pushing for their attainment.At the High-level Plenary Meeting on the MDGs yesterday, Premier Wen Jiabao set out the Chinese government’s position on the issue of development, and announced a series of important measures that China will take in support of the development of other developing countries.We hope that the international community will build up political consensus, increase input in development, secure development resources, and take more effective actions to help Africa meet the MDGs at an early date.Dear Colleagues, Ladies and Gentlemen, China-Africa cooperation is an important force for peace and development in Africa and the world at large.China-Africa relations have gone through historic changes and moved beyond the bilateral scope.Our relations now impact the course of world development.We should further enhance China-Africa cooperation from a strategic perspective and pursue common development.We should work together to raise the overall status of developing countries in international political and economic landscape and to build a more just and equitable international political and economic order.China stands ready to strengthen unity and cooperation with Africa in the following aspects: First, expand multilateral cooperation and actively meet global challenges.We should jointly push forward the reform of international economic and financial systems, support stronger representation and voice of developing countries in international financial institutions, and work to reinforce the development and poverty reduction functions of these institutions.China supports a bigger role for Africa in international economic affairs and stronger representation and voice of Africa in the G20 and IMF.We will continue to strengthen cooperation with Africa on major global issues.China and Africa should work together to encourage the international community to be attentive to the needs of developing countries and jointly uphold the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries.China will, within the framework of South-South cooperation and FOCAC, work with Africa to speed up the building of a China-Africa partnership in addressing climate change and push for positive outcomes at the Cancun conference.Second, deepen practical cooperation and speed up the implementation of the MDGs.We should make concerted efforts to facilitate a shift in the international economic order and trading system that is conducive to developing countries, and create a sound external environment for them in meeting the MDGs.We should urge the international community, developed countries in particular, to step up support and input in development.China will earnestly implement the important measures announced by Premier Wen for supporting the development of developing countries and the outcomes of the Fourth Ministerial Conference of FOCAC to help Africa raise capacities for self-development and achieve the MDGs.Third, enhance security cooperation and promote enduring peace in Africa.China will lend strong support to the African Union(AU)and other regional organizations in building their peacekeeping capacities, and call on the international community, the UN in particular, to scale up support for the AU’s peacekeeping operation in Somalia.China opposes any attempt to disrupt and impede the peaceful resolution of hotspot issues in Africa, and supports the AU’s position on the International Criminal Court’s indictment against the Sudanese leader.China will continue to play a constructive role through multiple channels in helping resolve the hotspot issues in Africa and take an active part in the UN peacekeeping operations in Africa.Fourth, improve cooperation mechanism and further expand the scope of FOCAC development.FOCAC is both a fruit of China-Africa friendship, and an important platform and “propeller” for deeper China-Africa cooperation.It plays an irreplaceable role in China-Africa relations, and has become a well-known “brand” in international cooperation with Africa.China and Africa have the shared responsibility to keep FOCAC in good shape, improve its institutional building, enrich its substance, and explore innovative models of cooperation, so that FOCAC can, in keeping with the trend of the times, play a bigger role in promoting China-Africa relations and bring greater benefits to the people of China and Africa.Thank you.

尊敬的非洲驻华使团长、多哥大使塔?阿马阁下,各位使节,各位朋友,Your Excellency Mr.Nolana Ta Ama, Dean of the African Diplomatic Corps, Ambassador of the Republic of Togo,Diplomatic Envoys,Dear Friends,下午好!在中非合作论坛第四届部长级会议即将召开之际,外交部举办“中非合作论坛”主题开放日,我谨代表外交部对各位朋友的到来表示热烈的欢迎。今天参加活动的公众中,有的曾凭借高超的医疗技术为非洲人民服务多年,有的曾将青春与汗水抛洒在坦赞铁路上,有的通过经贸往来为中非人民创造机会与财富,还有的是我们对非工作外交官的亲朋好友,大家都在通过自己的努力,以各种方式支持中非关系发展,浇灌着中非友谊之花。今天在座的,还有来自非洲各国的使节、留学生和媒体朋友,你们为促进中非相互了解和理解发挥着不可替代的作用。在这里,我愿对所有到场的朋友们说一声,为了中非合作和友谊,大家辛苦了,谢谢你们!

中国和非洲同为人类文明发祥地,友好交往源远流长,最早可追溯到公元前2世纪。历史上传为佳话的是,中国明代航海家郑和七下西洋,曾4次到过现在的索马里、肯尼亚等东非沿岸,至今留下许多动人的传说。20世纪中叶,随着新中国的诞生和广大非洲国家相继获得独立,中国与非洲国家陆续建立了外交关系,中非友好续谱新篇。半个多世纪以来,中非传统友谊和务实合作经受住了时间和国际风云变幻的考验,历久弥坚。
Both China and Africa are cradles of human civilizations.Our friendship and exchanges can be traced back to the 2nd Century AD.It is worth noting that in the Ming Dynasty, Chinese navigator Zheng He led a fleet to the Western Seas on seven voyages, and, for four times, he reached the east coast of Africa, which are now Somalia and Kenya.Many of his stories are still told today.In the mid 20th Century, after the People's Republic of China was founded and most African countries gained independence, China and African countries established diplomatic relations, opening a new chapter in the annals of our friendship.In the past fifty years and more, China-Africa traditional friendship and practical cooperation have withstood the test of time and changes in the international arena and emerged even stronger.进入21世纪,为了共谋发展,同迎挑战,中国和非洲友好国家共创了中非合作论坛,从2000年到今天,已走过了9个春秋。在中非双方的高度重视和精心培育下,论坛机制日臻完善,作用日益突出,影响不断扩大。
At the dawn of the 21st Century, China and friendly African countries jointly launched FOCAC in 2000 to seek development and meet challenges together.Over the past nine years, China and Africa have given top priority to and put much time and energy into FOCAC.With full-fledged mechanisms, FOCAC is playing a bigger role with increasingly greater influence.论坛是引领中非友好的旗帜。2000年首届部长级会议中非建立“长期稳定、平等互利的新型伙伴关系”,2003年第二届部长级会议中非双方提出进一步巩固和发展“长期稳定、平等互利、全面合作的新型伙伴关系”,2006年北京峰会上胡锦涛主席代表中国政府宣布深受非洲国家欢迎的8项举措,中非领导人一致同意建立和发展中非新型战略伙伴关系,论坛引领中非友好合作关系又好又快地向前推进。
Under the flag of FOCAC, China-Africa friendship has flourished.At the First Ministerial Conference in 2000, we committed ourselves to a new China-Africa partnership featuring long-term stability, equality and mutual benefit.At the Second Ministerial Conference in 2003, we set out to boost comprehensive cooperation under this new partnership.At the Beijing Summit in 2006, President Hu Jintao announced, on behalf of the Chinese government, eight measures that have been well received by African countries.Chinese and African leaders agreed at the summit to build a new type of China-Africa strategic partnership.FOCAC has acted as a spearhead in the sound and fast growth of China-Africa friendly relations and cooperation.论坛是中非进行集体对话的重要平台。双方在论坛框架下建立了部长级会议、外长级政治对话、高官级会议和论坛中方后续行动委员会与非洲驻华使团磋商等机制。部长会每三年举行一届,轮流在中国和非洲国家召开。中非双方利用论坛这一平台,就中非关系和共同关心的国际和地区问题深入交换意见,协调双方立场,加强相互支持。
FOCAC is an important platform for China-Africa collective dialogue.Under it, there are mechanisms including ministerial conference, political dialogue at the foreign ministers' level, senior officials' meeting and consultations between the Secretariat of the Chinese Follow-up Committee of FOCAC and the African diplomatic corps in China.The ministerial conference takes place every three years in China and Africa alternately.FOCAC has brought China and Africa together for in-depth exchange of views on our relations and international and regional issues of common interest, and for better coordination and stronger mutual support.论坛是中非开展务实合作的有效机制。每届部长会都制定既具指导性又切实可操作的纲领性合作文件,对会后三年双方各领域合作进行全面规划。论坛已成为中非友好合作的一大国际品牌,受到国际社会的广泛关注,对发展中国家间加强合作具有示范作用,也带动了国际社会更加重视非洲并加大对非投入。
FOCAC is an effective mechanism for China-Africa practical cooperation.Every ministerial conference has adopted feasible plans to guide cooperation across the board in the next three years.FOCAC has become an international brand of China-Africa friendship and cooperation, drawing worldwide interest.It showcases the strengthened cooperation among developing countries and encourages the international community to pay more attention to and increase input in Africa.再过一周,论坛第四届部长级会议将在埃及沙姆沙伊赫召开。中国国务院总理温家宝将同埃及总统穆巴拉克和部分非洲国家领导人一起出席开幕式,并发表重要讲话。中国政府还将宣布对非合作新举措。相信这次会议将在新形势下进一步推动中非关系的发展,成为中非友好史上新的里程碑。
In a week's time, the Fourth FOCAC Ministerial Conference will take place in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, together with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and some other African leaders, will attend and speak at the opening ceremony.He will announce the Chinese government's new measures for cooperation with Africa.I believe this conference will further promote the growth of China-Africa relations in the new era and become another milestone in the history of China-Africa friendship.朋友们,Dear Friends,中国人民同非洲人民是心心相印的朋友、兄弟。不管是过去、现在,还是将来,中国人民都
将永远珍视同非洲人民的传统友谊,将始终视非洲人民为可以信赖和依靠的全天候朋友。回顾过去,我们为中非友谊而自豪,面向未来,我们需要更多的人,特别是中非年轻一代,共同巩固和延伸中非友谊的桥梁。我们有理由相信,在中非人民的共同努力下,中非合作一定会登上一个更高台阶!中非友谊一定会结出更美丽的花朵。
The Chinese people are bosom friends and brothers of the African people.We cherish our traditional friendship with the African people, and take African people as our reliable and trustworthy all-weather friends.Looking back, we are proud of our friendship.Looking ahead, we need more people, young Chinese and Africans in particular, to deepen and strengthen China-Africa friendship.We have every reason to be confident that our two peoples will work together to bring our cooperation to a higher plane and make our friendship even more fruitful!

Moderator: The Foreign Minister has agreed to take a couple of questions.Maybe we can start with Francois [ph.] from Paris.问题一:谢谢部长先生。您刚才的演讲内容丰富,极有见地。我的问题是关于美中关系中的台湾问题,这个问题您在演讲中几乎没有谈及。中国已就美宣布对台军售采取相应措施,这些措施比以往美国对台军售后中国所采取措施更加严厉。你们这样做是因为中国感到自身更加强大了,还是因为你们认为此次美国对台军售数额更大、影响更恶劣呢?
Question: Thank you, Minister, for a broad-ranging and extremely thoughtful speech.The question I would like to ask you is an issue you hardly touched upon.And that is American-Chinese relations relating to Taiwan.China has taken measures in response to the U.S.announcement of arms sales to Taiwan, which go further than similar measures taken by Beijing when previous arms sales were made by the United States to Taiwan.The fact that you are going further than you did in the past, is it the consequence of China feeling stronger or is this the consequence of the recent arms sales to Taiwan being considered bigger and worse than previous U.S.arms sales to Taiwan?
杨外长:中国是不是感到自身更加强大了呢?是的,中国是越来越强大。同时,中国是不是感到自身在社会和经济发展方面还比较薄弱呢?我想答案同样是肯定的。
Yang: Is China feeling stronger? Yes, China is growing from strength to strength.Does China feel weak in terms of social and economic development in China? Yes.我有点出汗,不是因为紧张——我回答类似问题已经不知道多少遍了——而是因为这里的暖气实在太足了。在中国的长江以南地区,很多人冬天供暖还是个难题。而欧洲许多地区从地理上看,相当于中国的南方地区,所以如果你们想和我讨论气候变化问题,请先关掉暖气,这样我们大家才平等。我想这个要求不过分。看来,要讨论气候变化问题,我们之间要有更多的理解。
I perspire a little, not because I am nervous – I have been through this thing God knows how many times – but because the central heating here is very good.In China, south of the Yangtze River, many of my countrymen still have no central heating.Just to give you an idea, many parts of Europe are at roughly the same latitude as southern China.So I would not be outrageous in saying that if you would like to talk about climate change with me, you'd better shut off all your central heating so that we are on an equal footing.I hope there can be more mutual understanding when we talk about climate change.关于美国对台军售问题,早在上世纪八十年代,美国就在中美“八?一七”公报中承诺,美方向台湾出售的武器在性能和数量上将不超过中美建交后近几年供应的水平,美方准备逐步减少对台湾的武器出售,并经过一段时间导致最后的解决。再看看现在,美国一方面称中国为伙伴,另一方面却宣布向中国的台湾地区出售价值64亿美元的先进武器。这显然违背了国与国关系准则,违反了中美三个联合公报。中国政府和人民完全有理由对此感到强烈愤慨。美方不顾中方多次严正交涉,执意进行对台军售。中国政府和人民当然要采取行动,这是中国主权范围内的事情。
About the U.S.arms sales to Taiwan, let me say that back in the early 1980s, China and the United States issued the August 17th Communiqué.In it, the United States made the commitment that its arms sales to Taiwan will not exceed, either in qualitative or in quantitative terms, the level of those supplied in recent years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, and that it intends to reduce gradually its sales of arms to Taiwan, leading, over a period of time, to a final resolution.Now look at what is happening: 6.4 billion dollar sales of sophisticated weaponry to a part of a country whom the U.S.side calls a partner!This is obviously a violation of the code of conduct of relations between countries and a violation of the three joint communiqués issued between China and the United States.The Chinese people and government have every reason to feel indignant about this thing.We approached the US side, made representations very seriously on many occasions, yet the United States still went ahead with the sale.Of course the Chinese government and people will have to react.It is within its sovereign right to do what is necessary.我知道你实际想问的是一个国家是否感觉强大。中国认为,所有国家无论大小、强弱、贫富,都是平等的。不管是谁,在做决定前都应换位思考,“己所不欲,勿施于人”。
I think the gist of your question is whether a country is feeling stronger or not.All countries, big or small, strong or weak, rich or poor, should be equals.You have to put yourself in the shoes of other people and before you make any decision, consider whether you like this done to yourself.我希望欧洲的朋友能够理解中方所采取的行动是完全合理的。任何有尊严的人都会做出同样的反应。中方强烈敦促美国恪守“八?一七”公报的原则,停止对台军售。实际上,我们和台湾方面在推动两岸关系和平发展方面已取得很大进展,美国也表示支持两岸关系和平发展。我们敦促美方多做有利于推动这一良好势头的事,而不是相反。
I hope our friends and people in Europe can understand that what China has done is very reasonable and what any dignified people would do.China strongly urges the United States to abide by the August 17th Communiqué and stop arms sales to Taiwan, which is actually having more progress together with us in the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations – and the United States said it supports the peaceful development of relations across the Straits.We urge the U.S.side to do things which will contribute to this good developmental trend, not the other way around.主持人:谢谢部长。我们只有时间再提一两个问题。下面请来自纽约东西方研究所的John Rose(音)先生提问。
Moderator: Thank you, Minister.I think we can only take one or two more questions.The next one on my list is John Rose [ph.] from the East-West Institute in New York.问题二:部长先生,我能不能问一个关于网络的问题?我知道这个问题颇有争议,但网络犯罪的数量正在不断增加,影响数字经济的发展,是我们共同面临的威胁。很多国家政府和企业都很关注这个问题。您能谈一谈对网络安全的看法吗?
Question: Minister, could we talk for a moment about cyber-space? I know it is seen as a confrontational issue, but an awful lot of governments and businesses are concerned about the common threats that we all face to the digital economy coming from increased cyber-crime.Could you give us your perspectives on cyber-security?
杨外长:现在我收看中国的新闻节目比西方媒体上的新闻要多。作为中国外长,我每天早上上班前要对新近发生的事情有准确全面的了解,要精打细算地用好每一分钟。我发现中国的广播和电视新闻更加准确可靠,看过这些新闻,我就可以确信已经了解世界上绝大部分的新闻。这不是说我不看西方媒体上的新闻,我还会继续看。我想告诉大家的是,中国老百姓了解到的世界各地新闻恐怕比一些西方媒体还要全面,这是事实。他们可以像我这个外交部长一样轻而易举地获取各种信息。每年有几千万中国人出境经商、旅游,同时有几千万人入境。实际上,在巴黎埃菲尔铁塔脚下你就能听到不少人说中文。所以说,中国人民享有充足的信息。他们能出国并比较在国内外的见闻。当然,我们仍要向其他国家包括发达国家学习。但中国人民为自己国家取得的成就感到自豪。中国30年来脱贫的人口几乎相当于美国全国的人口。中国还向其他国家提供了大量援助。我认为,对于发展中国家来说,最重要的事是建设基础设施。在这方面,中国将尽力提供帮助,我们希望发达国家也这么做。
Yang: These days I actually listen to or watch Chinese news programs far more than some Western media.As the Foreign Minister of China, every morning I have to have solid news before I go to my office.I have to use every minute very, very carefully and I found that I have more solid news from China's radio and TV programs.This way, when I go to office I feel quite confident that I have most of the news – if not all – in the world.This is not saying that I am not watching news on Western media.I do and I will continue to do that.What I want to tell you is that the average man and woman in China have access to extensive – I would say more extensive – coverage of news in every corner of the world than I am afraid some Western media.This is a fact.They have all the major sources of information at their fingertips like me, the Foreign Minister.And every year, tens of millions of Chinese go abroad for business, for travel, for tourism and so on and so forth;every year tens of millions of foreigners come to China.Actually at the bottom of the Eiffel Tower, you can hear lots of Chinese spoken there.So the Chinese people are well informed.They go abroad, they see the things around them and they compare what they've seen abroad with things at home.Of course, we still have a lot to learn from other countries, including developed countries.On the other hand, they feel quite proud of what China has achieved.We have, in 30 years, lifted almost the total population of the United States out of poverty.That is what China has done, and we have given lots of aid to our friends abroad.I think for the developing countries, the most important thing is to build up the basic infrastructure.China will do its best to help.We hope the developed countries will do so as well.我不明白谷歌的事情为什么会成为一个事件。我们支持信息的自由分享,也支持言论自由。另一方面,每一个到中国或其他国家发展的公司都应该知道,各国社会制度不同,要尊重所在国的历史背景和文化传统。和其他国家政府一样,中国政府也对互联网依法实行管理,以维护国家利益。我希望,外国企业在中国拓展市场的过程中继续尊重中国的公众利益和文化传统。毫无疑问,中国坚决反对黑客行为。事实上,中国是受害者。我们将与国际社会合作应对这种攻击。这就是我对“谷歌事件”的看法。我还想说,我们欢迎跨国公司到中国来,这是改革开放30年来一贯的政策。已经在中国发展的外国公司基本都不后悔,行事明智的公司更不会后悔。
I don't know how come this Google thing has cropped up.Yes, we support free exchange of information.Yes, we support freedom of speech.On the other hand, every company which comes to China or goes to another country has to recognize that there are different social systems in the world.People have to respect a country's historical background and cultural traditions.And the Chinese government, as any other government, has to do regulatory work according to law and according to what is in the best interest of China.I hope that foreign companies, while they try to do business or expand their business in China, will continue to respect public interests in China and the cultural traditions of China.Yes, we are totally against hacking attacks.China is a victim of this kind of attacks, and China will cooperate with the international community.That's what I want to say on this Google thing.I would also say we welcome international companies coming into China.This has been our consistent policy for the past 30 years or so.The people who come into China basically don't regret it and those companies who choose the wise path will never regret doing so.主持人:非常感谢。下面请Jim Holden(音)提最后一个问题。
Moderator: Thank you very much.We will take one more question.Jim Hodlen [ph.].问题三:部长先生,感谢您的讲话。您刚才部分回答了Fran?ois的问题,说中国是自觉更强大了。最近引发中国强烈反应的不仅仅是美国对台军售这一件事。有确切报道称,中国正在大力抵制对伊朗实施新的制裁。在哥本哈根大会上中国还组织了“基础四国”,奥巴马总统不得不与之打交道,这也被认为是中国越来越强势的表现。从与欧洲、美国和印度的外交官和政治家的交流中我发现,他们都注意到了一个全新的、更强大的中国。总之,您是否担心这种新的强势态度会造成冲突而不是和谐?
Question: Mr.Minister, thank you for your remarks.I did want to follow up a little bit on Francois's question, which you partially answered by saying China is feeling stronger.It is not only arms sales to Taiwan that has recently elicited strong reactions from China.There are credible reports that China is also vigorously resisting new sanctions on Iran.As you well know, there is also the Copenhagen summit where China put together a four-country bloc that President Obama had to engage with.This was also seen as assertive.As I talk to European, American and Indian diplomats and politicians, they do see a new, stronger China.Don't you fear that this new assertiveness is going to produce conflicts more than harmony?
杨外长:我想首先谈谈哥本哈根气候变化大会。在会前,中国就阐明了其立场,印度、巴西、南非也都明确提出了各自的立场。我们都强调将在可持续发展框架内为应对气候变化做出贡献。但我要强调指出,中国与许多发展中国家和发达国家交换了意见。此外,还和77国集团保持密切沟通。所以,不仅“基础四国”在应对气候变化问题上观点相似,许多其他国家也对中国的努力表示赞赏。当然,这次会议并不完全尽如人意。所以我们必须共同努力,使墨西哥会议取得更加积极的成果。但是,哥本哈根会议也取得了一些成果,会议重申了《联合国气候变化框架公约》和《京都议定书》的主渠道地位,确认要坚持“巴厘路线图”框架下的双轨谈判。在长期目标、向发展中国家提供技术和资金支持、发展中国家自主控制温室气体排放行动等方面,会议也都取得了积极的成果。我们要继续沿着这条路走下去,确保墨西哥会议取得更大成果。中国愿意继续做出自己的贡献。
Yang: Let me first talk about the Copenhagen conference.China made its position very clear beforehand.And India, Brazil and South Africa all made their positions very clear beforehand.We all stressed that we would contribute to the efforts against climate change while maintaining sustainable development in our own countries.I would like to point out that China also exchanged views with many other countries, developing and developed ones alike.And there is also the G77 plus China mechanism.So it's not just the BASIC countries who see things more or less on the same wavelength, there are many other countries who have complimented China's efforts.Of course, this conference still leaves something to be desired.That's why we need to make concerted efforts to make the next conference in Mexico a bigger success.On the other hand, the conference has achieved something, because it has reaffirmed the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol as the main framework for dealing with climate change, and it has recognized we have to continue to work in a two-track way according to the Bali Roadmap.This is because, in terms of long-term goals, technical support and funding to the developing countries, voluntary actions of controlling greenhouse gas emissions from the developing countries, these are all achievements of the Copenhagen conference.I think we have to continue along this track to make sure that the Mexico conference will deliver even more.China is ready to continue to make its contribution.关于与美国的关系,我们将继续与美方交换看法。我们认为,一个稳定、健康、发展的中美关系对两国、对世界都是最有利的。
Let me say that on the question of relations with the United States, we will continue to exchange views with the U.S.side, because we do believe that a stable and healthy and developing relationship between China and the United States is in the best interest of our two countries and in the best interest of the world.关于伊朗问题。10天前我离开北京时,伊核问题并不是我此次出访的主要议题,但后来不少会见都涉及到了这个问题。我想重申,中国坚决支持维护国际核不扩散体系。同时我们认为,在遵守国际原子能机构有关规定的基础上,伊朗有和平利用核能的权利。我们认为,外交途径是解决伊核问题的最好办法,最有利于维护海湾和中东地区的和平与稳定。我们认为,伊朗并未对国际原子能机构关于德黑兰研究反应堆核燃料供应问题上的提议完全关上大门,同时六国与伊朗举行新一轮对话很重要。我们希望,在六国提议和伊朗一揽子方案的基础上,能够找到一个各方都能接受的方案。中国的观点很明确。为防止局势进一步复杂化,现在应该集中精力在磋商与对话上,只有这样才能找到令人满意的解决问题的办法。
Now, Iran.Iran was actually not part of my agenda when I started this tour about 10 days ago, but it has emerged in many of my discussions.Let me say again that China is fully supportive of maintaining the international nuclear nonproliferation regime.On the other hand, we believe that Iran, on the basis of the IAEA rules, has the right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy.And we believe this issue should best be resolved through diplomatic means so as to maintain peace and stability in the Gulf region and in the Middle East.We believe that Iran has not totally shut the door on the IAEA proposal on nuclear fuel supply to the Tehran research reactor, and we believe that it is very important to have another round of P5+1 dialogue with Iran.We hope that on the basis of the proposal put forward by the P5+1 and the package deal proposed by the Iranian side, somehow a mutually acceptable formula can emerge.China's view is very clear.That is, in order not to complicate the situation, it is better for us now to concentrate on consultation and dialogue so as to achieve a satisfactory solution.很多国家把中国看作推动和平、稳定、发展的力量。中国人口占世界人口的五分之一,我们并不要求由这五分之一的人口说了算,但至少我们应有机会就国际事务表达看法。我们同其他国家一样,也想改进国际机制,确保发展中国家和发达国家都能从合作中受益。我们既提出自己的观点,也虚心听取别人的意见,这是我们的传统。同时我们真心希望,世界其它国家也能倾听来自中国的声音。说到平等和言论自由,这是理想社会的应有要求。不仅个人之间要平等,国家之间也要平等,国际关系要民主化。一个或少数几个国家绝不能主宰世界的未来。中国追求的不是集团政治,而是各国利益的共赢。这应成为我们共同的诉求。
Let me say that many, many countries see China as a force for peace and stability and development.We have one-fifth of mankind.We are not saying that because we are one-fifth of mankind, our views should be taken good care of, but at least we deserve a chance to express our views on how things in the world should be run.What we are trying to do, like other countries, is to improve the international mechanisms to make sure that both developing and developed countries will benefit from our cooperation in the future.We are offering our views and we have the modesty to listen to others.It has always been the tradition of China.But I think we also deserve a hearing of one kind or another.I say this in a very humble way.When we talk about equality and freedom of speech, we are talking about such attributes to decent society not only on an individual basis, but also on the basis of countries and democratization of international relations.One country or a few countries definitely cannot decide the future of the world.China is not talking about blocs.China is talking about common interests.That should be the language we speak in the future.主持人:谢谢,部长先生。
Moderator: Thank you, Mr.Minister.
第五篇:推进新时期中美关系的国事访问——杨洁篪外长在美国对外关系委员会午餐会上的致辞
推进新时期中美关系的国事访问
——杨洁篪外长在美国对外关系委员会午餐会上的致辞
A State Visit to Advance China-US Relations In the New Era —Remarks by Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi at Luncheon Hosted by the Council on Foreign
Relations
2011年1月6日,纽约 New York, 6 January 2011 尊敬的哈斯会长,尊敬的张业遂大使,女士们、先生们:
Dr.Richard Haass, Ambassador Zhang Yesui, Ladies and Gentlemen,我很高兴在新年伊始来到纽约,同各位老友新朋见面。对外关系委员会作为美国最有影响、世界知名的智库之一,在哈斯会长带领下,在开展中国问题研究、促进中美相互了解与合作方面做了大量卓有成效的工作。我谨对你们表示衷心感谢。
I am delighted to come to New York at the beginning of the new year and meet with you, friends both old and new.The Council on Foreign Relations is one of the most influential US think tanks well-known throughout the world.Led by Dr.Haass, the Council has done a lot of productive work in conducting China studies and promoting the mutual understanding and cooperation between our two countries.I wish to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt thanks to you.我这次应希拉里·克林顿国务卿邀请来访,是为胡锦涛主席即将应巴拉克·奥巴马总统邀请对美国进行的国事访问做准备,并就当前中美关系和双方共同关心的重大国际地区问题交换意见。在华盛顿期间,我有幸拜会了奥巴马总统,并与克林顿国务卿、多尼隆助理、盖特纳财长、骆家辉部长进行了内容广泛、富有成果的会见和会谈。我还同美国社会各界人士进行了很好的交流。
I am visiting the United States at the kind invitation of Secretary Hillary Clinton.The purpose of my visit is to lay the groundwork for President Hu Jintao's upcoming state visit to the United States at the invitation of President Barack Obama and to exchange views with the US side on the current China-US relations and major regional and international issues of shared interest.During my stay in Washington, I had the high honor of meeting with President Obama and had extensive and productive talks with Secretary Clinton, National Security Adviser Donilon, Secretary Geithner and Secretary Locke.I also had a good exchange of views with people across a broad spectrum.再过两周,胡锦涛主席就要踏上美国的土地。在中美重新打开交往大门40周年和21世纪第二个十年伊始之际进行的这次访问,是中美双方承前启后,推进新时期两国关系的重大安排,必将产生重大而深远的影响。
In two weeks' time, President Hu Jintao will come to the United States.His visit coincides with the 40th anniversary of reopening the gate of exchanges between our two countries and the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century.This is an important arrangement made by the two sides with a view to building on the past success and advancing the bilateral ties in the new era.It is bound to have a significant and profound impact.访美期间,胡锦涛主席将与奥巴马总统共同规划新时期中美合作蓝图,并就共同关心的重大问题广泛、深入交换意见。访美期间,胡主席也将发表重要讲话,并广泛接触美国各界人士,系统阐述中国政府的内外政策和发展新时期中美关系的重要主张,并向广大美国人民、特别是美国青少年发出积极参与中美友好事业的邀请。
During the visit, President Hu and President Obama will map out a blueprint together for China-US cooperation for the new era.They will also have extensive and in-depth discussions on major topics of mutual interest.President Hu will make important remarks and meet with people from various walks of life in the United States.He will comprehensively elaborate on the domestic and foreign policies of the Chinese government and on how to advance China-US relations in the new era.He will also invite Americans, young people in particular, to get actively involved in the worthy cause of China-US friendship.中美两国政府有关部门、民间机构和企业界都在以极大的热情为胡主席此访积累务实合作成果。双方有望在经贸、能源、环境、基础设施建设、人文、科技等广泛领域签署一系列合作文件,宣布诸多新的合作项目。
At the moment, Chinese and American government agencies, non-governmental institutions and businesses are all working with great enthusiasm in preparation for President Hu's visit.They want to make the visit more fruitful by reaching new agreements in the field of practical cooperation.The two sides are expected to sign a series of important cooperation documents and announce a host of new cooperation projects in economy and trade, energy, environmental protection, infrastructure development, science and technology and people-to-people exchanges.回顾中美关系历史,两国领导人之间的高层交往一次又一次引领和推进了两国关系的发展。从1972年尼克松总统访华到1979年邓小平同志访美,再到1997年和2002年江泽民主席访美、2006年胡锦涛主席访美,都是这样。我们有理由相信,在双方共同努力下,胡锦涛主席此次国事访问将有力促进新时期积极合作全面中美关系发展,提高中美务实合作水平,增进两国人民了解和友谊,显示中美共同维护世界和平、稳定、发展意愿和行动。
The history of China-US relations shows that the high-level exchanges between leaders of the two countries have time and again given guidance to and promoted the growth of the bilateral relationship.This was true with President Nixon's visit to China in 1972 and Mr.Deng Xiaoping's visit to the United States in 1979.And it was true with President Jiang Zemin's visits to the United States in 1997 and 2002 and President Hu Jintao's visit to the United States in 2006.We have good reason to believe that with the efforts of both sides, President Hu's state visit will forcefully move forward the positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship in the new era.It will take our practical cooperation to a new high and enhance the mutual understanding and friendship between the two peoples.And it will demonstrate the will of China and the United States to act together for world peace, stability and development.各位朋友,Dear Friends, 胡主席此次访美适逢奥巴马总统执政两周年。我们积极评价过去两年来中美关系取得的进展。中美关系是当今世界极为重要的双边关系。我们认为,过去两年中美关系虽然遇到一些困难,但总体上取得了重要进展,以下领域尤其突出。
President Hu's upcoming visit to the United States will take place when the Obama administration concludes its second year in office.We commend the good progress the China-US relations have made over the past two years.The China-US relationship is an extremely important bilateral relationship in today's world.We believe that though China-US relationship has seen some difficulties in the past two years, it has made important overall progress particularly in the following areas.一是两国高层交往和各层次沟通密切程度前所未有。中美关系在美国新一任总统就职后很短时间就实现平稳过渡,两国元首在24个月里7次成功会晤并实现国事互访,其他各级官员也不拘形式地频繁接触。双方还建立起中美战略与经济对话、人文交流高层磋商机制,为促进中美互信与合作搭建了独特、有效的平台。
First, the exchanges and communication between the two countries at the high-level and various other levels have never been closer.China-US relations achieved a smooth transition shortly after President Obama took office.In the past 24 months, the two presidents have had seven successful meetings.President Obama paid a state visit to China, and now President Hu will come to the United States for a state visit.Officials of the two countries at various levels have had frequent contacts in diverse forms.The two sides have established the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogues and the high-level consultation on people-to-people exchange, setting up unique and effective platforms to enhance mutual trust and cooperation between China and the United States.二是两国加强合作的强烈意愿和决心前所未有。2009年4月,胡锦涛主席和奥巴马伦敦会晤中达成重要共识,双方要共同努力建设21世纪积极合作全面的中美关系,为新时期中美关系发展指明了方向。胡主席多次强调,一个良好的中美关系符合两国根本利益,有利于亚太地区乃至世界的和平、稳定、繁荣;中国政府高度重视对美关系,将努力推进两国合作。同样,奥巴马总统和美国政府也高度重视中美关系,致力于加强两国合作。
Second, the desire and resolve of the two countries to strengthen their cooperation have never been stronger.In April 2009, President Hu and President Obama reached important agreement when they met in London that the two sides should work together to build a positive, cooperative and comprehensive China-US relationship for the 21st century.This has charted the course for the growth of China-US relations in the new era.President Hu emphasizes on many occasions that a sound China-US relationship is in the fundamental interests of the two countries and serves peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.He stressed that the Chinese government places high importance on its relations with the United States and will work to promote cooperation with the United States.Likewise, President Obama attaches a great deal of importance to China-US relations.The US government has stressed its commitment to stronger cooperation between the two countries.三是中美利益交融程度前所未有。两国同舟共济应对国际金融危机,推进全球经济治理改革,为推动世界经济复苏共同发挥了重要作用。中美经贸关系迈上新台阶,2010年两国经贸总额有望达到3800亿美元,中国已连续9年成为美国增长最快的主要出口市场。中国企业对美投资快速增长。截至2010年11月底,中国企业对美非金融类直接投资超过44亿美元,为美国经济复苏和保障就业作出了贡献。两国在能源、环境等双边广泛领域的交流合作也在向新的广度和深度拓展。
Third, the Chinese and American interests have converged as never before.Together, we have tackled the international financial crisis, pushed forward the reform of global economic governance and played an important role in spurring world economic recovery.The China-US business ties have been taken to a new level.Two-way trade is expected to top US$380 billion in 2010.China has been the fastest-growing major export market of the United States for nine consecutive years.Investment by Chinese enterprises in the United States has rapidly increased.By the end of November 2010, Chinese businesses had made over US$4.4 billion of non-financial direct investment in the United States.All this has contributed to the economic recovery and the protection of jobs in the United States.Our bilateral exchanges and cooperation in a wide range of areas including energy and environment have been growing in breadth and depth.四是两国人民参与中美关系进程之广泛、深入前所未有。目前,有12万中国人在美留学,2万多美国人在华学习。据中方统计,中美之间的旅游者每年已超过300万,每周有110多次客运航班往返于太平洋两岸。中美已建立起36对友好省州、161对姊妹城市关系。这些密切交往,在中美间架起无数座友谊与合作的桥梁。
Fourth, the two peoples have never been engaged in China-US relations in such a broad and in-depth manner.Today, around 120,000 Chinese students are studying in the United States and more than 20,000 American students are studying in China.According to Chinese statistics, over three million tourists visit each other's countries every year, and 110-plus passenger flights fly between the two countries every week.China and the United States have forged 36 pairs of friendship province/state and 161 sister city relationships.Such close interactions have built countless bridges of friendship and cooperation between the two countries.五是中美在重大国际地区问题上的沟通协调前所未有。两国就朝鲜半岛局势、伊朗核、南亚等地区热点和气候变化、二十国集团、联合国改革、打击跨国犯罪等全球性问题保持着有效协调,共同为维护世界和平安全,促进全球可持续发展发挥了重要积极作用,使中美合作具有更加丰富的战略内涵和更加重要的全球影响。
Fifth, the communication and coordination between China and the United States on major regional and international issues have never been better.The two countries have maintained effective coordination on regional hotspot issues such as the situation on the Korean Peninsula, the Iranian nuclear issue and South Asia, and on global issues including climate change, G20, the UN reform, and fighting transnational crimes.Working together, the two countries have played an important and positive role in upholding world peace and security and promoting global sustainable development.The China-US cooperation has become more strategic in terms of substance and more important in terms of global impact.回顾这两年的中美关系发展,是什么使我们在合作的道路上彼此走近?我认为,是日益增多的共同利益,是双方为了两国和世界人民的福祉携手抓住机遇、共迎挑战的需要,这就是21世纪中美关系的基础。
What is it that has brought China and the United States closer to each other in the course of cooperation in the past two years? I believe that it is our growing common interests.It is the growing sense of an important reality that China-US relations in the 21st century should be anchored in joint efforts to seize common opportunities and address common challenges for the welfare of our two peoples and the people of the world.尽管中美关系仍存在一些问题,中美双方都有一个基本共识,那就是,中美关系太重要了,中美共同利益远远大于分歧,合作始终是两国关系的主流。我们必须把分歧和矛盾放在恰当位置上来看待并妥善处理。必须以两国合作大局为重,加强风险控制和分歧管理,不能因不同而不睦。应确保中美关系这艘大船继续沿着正确的航向前进。
With regard to issues in China-US relations, whatever the differences, there is a basic consensus between China and the United States, namely, the China-US relationship is far too important, the two countries have far more common interests than disagreements, and cooperation is always the defining feature of this relationship.It is imperative for us to put the differences and problems in the right perspective and address them properly.It is imperative to bear in mind the larger picture of our cooperation and step up efforts to control and manage risks and disagreements.We cannot afford to be at odds just because we are different.We must make sure that this giant ship of China-US relations will continue to sail along the right course.当然我需要指出,应坚持国际关系准则、中美三个联合公报、两国政府间的联合声明。这是处理双边关系尤其是涉及主权、安全和领土完整等敏感问题的基础。
Of course, I need to point out that the norms governing international relations, the three Sino-US joint communiqués and the joint statement between our two governments should be strictly adhered to, as they constitute the basis for conducting our bilateral relations, especially concerning such sensitive issues as those on sovereignty, security and territorial integrity.女士们,先生们,Ladies and Gentlemen,我愿借此机会谈谈大家都关心的朝鲜半岛局势问题。
As many of you are closely following the situation on the Korean Peninsula, I wish to take this opportunity to make a few observations on the topic.中国同朝鲜半岛陆地相连,隔海相望。我们的半岛政策目标可以用“和平、稳定、无核”六个字来概括。为此,中方一直在敦促半岛南北双方冷静克制,推动他们接触对话。事实说明,施压用强无助于解决问题,对话协商才是根本出路。正是基于此,我们一直积极推动有关方面通过接触对话探寻解决问题的有效办法。我们认为,六方会谈是推进半岛无核化、维护半岛稳定、实现东北亚长治久安的最佳平台和有效依托。我们呼吁尽快举行六方会谈团长紧急磋商,在此基础上适时重启六方会谈,有关各方全面、平衡履行“9·19”共同声明,推动半岛无核化进程继续向前走。
China and the Korean Peninsula are connected by land and share a body of water in between.Our policy objectives vis-à-vis the Peninsula can be summed up in three words: peace, stability and nuclear-free.To this end, we have been urging both the North and the South to keep calm and exercise restraint, and to engage in dialogue.Facts have shown that pressure and force will not lead to a solution.Only dialogue and consultation will offer the way out.It is for this reason that we have been actively encouraging the parties concerned to explore a working solution through contacts and dialogue.We believe that the Six-Party Talks are the best platform and an effective framework to advance denuclearization and uphold stability on the Peninsula and achieve enduring peace and stability in Northeast Asia.We have called for emergency consultations of the heads of delegation to the Six-Party Talks as soon as possible.We call for the resumption of the Talks in due time on the basis of the emergency consultations.And we call on the parties concerned to follow through with the Joint Statement of 19 September 2005 in a comprehensive and balanced manner in order to keep the denuclearization process going.维护和平稳定,实现无核化,是中美在半岛问题上最大的共同利益和目标。过去几年,中美就半岛有关问题开展了密切沟通和协调,进行了很好的合作。我们要继续携手并与其他各方合作,共同维护半岛和平稳定,推动半岛无核化进程,实现东北亚长治久安。
To maintain peace and stability and achieve denuclearization are the largest common interests and goals of China and the United States regarding the Korean Peninsula.In the past few years, China and the United States have had close communication and coordination and cooperation on issues related to the Peninsula.We need to keep working together and cooperate with other relevant parties to uphold peace and stability and promote the denuclearization on the Peninsula and to achieve long-term peace and stability in Northeast Asia.女士们,先生们,朋友们,Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Friends,在座各位专家学者在各自的研究领域造诣精深,也是重要的“舆论领袖”。你们的研究成果、文章著作,对美国对华民意和舆论导向具有重要影响。希望中美两国学术界多交流、多合作,共同把中国和美国客观、真实、全面地介绍给两国人民,让更多两国民众认识到中美合作的重要意义,让中美友好更加深入人心。

China is the largest developing country and the United States is the biggest developed country.Our two countries have enormous common interests in a globalized world, and shoulder major responsibilities in upholding world peace and promoting common development.We have set out on a path that no one else has ever travelled.We need to have the courage and wisdom to join hands and develop a new type of relationship between major countries in which we live in friendship and develop in parallel.在21世纪第二个十年到来之际,我们愿与美方一道,以胡主席访美为历史性契机和新的起点,保持两国高层交往势头,不断增进战略互信,推进双边各领域务实合作,加强在重大国际地区问题上的沟通协调,以造福两国和世界各国人民。
