外交部长王毅就中国外交政策和对外关系回答中外记者提问
Foreign Minister Wang Yi Meets the Press
2016年3月8日，十二届全国人大四次会议在两会新闻中心举行记者会，邀请外交部长王毅就中国外交政策和对外关系回答中外记者提问。
On 8 March 2016, the Fourth Session of the Twelfth National People’s Congress held a press conference. Foreign Minister Wang Yi was invited to answer questions on China’s foreign policy and external relations.
王毅：新闻界的朋友们，大家上午好。首先感谢大家对外交工作的关心、理解和支持，也要对今天在座的女记者、女同胞们致以节日的祝福。现在，我愿回答大家的问题。
Wang Yi: Friends from the media, good morning. At the outset, I wish to thank you for your care, understanding and support for China’s diplomacy. I also want to extend festive greetings to all the ladies in this room, including the female journalists. Now, I am ready to answer your questions.
中央电视台记者：今年9月，中国将首次举行二十国集团（G20）峰会。G20杭州峰会将提出什么主张？
CCTV: In September, China will host the G20 Summit for the first time. What proposals will China put forward at the Hangzhou Summit?
王毅：第一个问题就问到G20峰会，表明大家对中国主办峰会的高度期待。这次杭州G20峰会是中国今年最重要的主场外交，也是全球最受瞩目的经济盛会。
Wang Yi: This is the first question, and you are asking about the G20 Summit. It shows people have high expectations for China’s G20 presidency. Indeed, the G20 Hangzhou Summit, the most important international conference that China will host this year, is the world’s most closely watched economic summit.
这些年来，G20峰会为应对国际金融危机发挥了关键作用。现在，世界经济又到了一个转折点，如何摆脱长期低迷不振？能否找到新的增长动力？如何有效协调各国政策？国际社会正在把目光转向中国。习近平主席向世界清楚阐明了中方办会的宏观思路。我们愿在全面推进各项议题的同时，着力从三个新角度寻求峰会的突破：一是以创新发掘新动力，二是以改革注入新活力，三是以发展开辟新前景。
In the past few years, the G20 Summit has played a critical role in containing the global financial crisis. This time, the world economy has reached another crossroads. How to emerge from long-term economic sluggishness? How to find new sources of growth? And how to coordinate national policies more effectively? The world is turning its eyes to China. President Xi Jinping has clearly articulated China’s basic approach to hosting the G20 Summit. While making solid preparations on all the topics, we will try to break new ground from three angles. First, we want to discover new sources of growth through innovation. Second, we want to inject new momentum into the world economy through reform. And third, we want to open up new prospects through development.
我们首次把创新增长作为重点议题，期待以新工业革命、数字经济等为契机，制定世界经济创新增长的新蓝图。
For the first time, we will make innovative growth a key topic on the G20 agenda. We want to capitalize on the new industrial revolution and digital economy, and develop a new blueprint for the innovative growth of the world economy.
我们强调结构性改革的重要性，推动主要经济体就此达成新的共识，合力把世界经济拉上强劲复苏之路。
For the first time, we will make innovative growth a key topic on the G20 agenda. We want to capitalize on the new industrial revolution and digital economy, and develop a new blueprint for the innovative growth of the world economy.
我们把发展问题放在宏观政策协调突出位置，推动G20成员率先制定落实联合国2030年可持续发展议程的行动计划，带动全球范围的包容、联动发展。
And we will prioritize development issues in macro policy coordination. We will encourage G20 members to show leadership by developing action plans to implement the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, so as to catalyze inclusive and interconnected development all over the world.
我相信，这次峰会一定能开成一次提振信心的会议，凝聚共识的会议，指引方向的会议。让G20从杭州再出发，让世界经济从中国再出发。
I am confident that the G20 Hangzhou Summit will boost people’s confidence, build consensus and point the way forward. Hangzhou will be a new launch pad for the G20, and China will be a new launch pad for the world economy.
韩国广播公司记者：中方如何确保联合国安理会新对朝决议得到有效执行？如何界定民生和非民生的范畴？
KBS: How will China make sure that the new UN Security Council resolution on the DPRK will be implemented effectively? Where to draw the line between “livelihood” and “non-livelihood” purposes?
王毅：中国作为安理会常任理事国，有责任也有能力执行好安理会决议，包括第2270号涉朝决议。
Wang Yi: China is a permanent member of the Security Council. We have the obligation and capability to implement all the resolutions passed by the Security Council, including Resolution 2270 concerning the DPRK.
对民生的概念，各方应有共识。当然，中方在执行过程中，会本着客观公正态度，对此进行必要评估、认定和监督。我要指出的是，第2270号决议不光有制裁，还重申支持六方会谈，要求不采取任何可能加剧局势紧张的行动。鉴此，中方认为，第2270号决议需要全面、完整加以执行。制裁是必要手段，维稳是当务之急，谈判是根本之道。
You mentioned the term “livelihood”: I think people would agree what it means. Of course, China will adopt an objective and impartial attitude during implementation and carry out necessary evaluation, determination and monitoring. I wish to point out that Resolution 2270 not just contains sanctions; it also reiterates support for the Six-Party Talks and asks the parties to refrain from taking any actions that might aggravate tensions. So in China’s view, the resolution must be implemented in its entirety. Sanctions are just a necessary means. Maintaining stability is the pressing priority, and only negotiation can lead to a fundamental solution.
目前半岛局势剑拔弩张，充满火药味儿。如果紧张加剧甚至失控，对各方都将是灾难。作为半岛最大邻国，中方不会坐视半岛稳定受到根本破坏，不会坐视中国安全利益受到无端损害。我们强烈敦促各方理性克制，不要再激化矛盾。
At the moment, there is some saber-rattling on the Korean Peninsula, and the situation is highly charged. If the tensions worsen and get out of control, it would be a disaster for all parties. As the largest neighbor of the Peninsula, China will not sit by and see a fundamental disruption to stability on the Peninsula. And we will not sit by and see unwarranted damage to China’s security interests. We strongly urge the parties to act with reason and restraint, and refrain from aggravating tensions.
半岛问题的最终解决，要综合施策，对症下药。一味迷信制裁和施压，实际上是对半岛的未来不负责任。为此，中方提出实现半岛无核化与停和机制转换并行推进的谈判思路。无核化是国际社会的坚定目标，停和机制转换是朝鲜的合理关切，两者并行谈判，分步推进，统筹解决，既公平合理，又切实可行。对于其他各方提出的设想，包括以灵活方式开展三方、四方甚至五方接触等，只要有利于把半岛核问题拉回谈判桌，我们都持开放态度。
To eventually resolve the issues on the Peninsula, we have to adopt a multi-pronged approach and apply the right medicine. To have blind faith in sanctions and pressure would, in effect, be irresponsible to the future of the Peninsula. In terms of negotiation, China has put forward a proposal to pursue, in parallel tracks, the denuclearization of the Peninsula and the replacement of the armistice agreement with a peace treaty. Denuclearization is the firm goal of the international community, while replacing the armistice is a legitimate concern of the DPRK. The two can be negotiated in parallel, implemented in steps and resolved with reference to each other. In our judgment, this is an equitable, reasonable and workable solution. Other parties have also suggested some ideas, including flexible contacts in a three-party, four-party or even five-party format. We are open to any and all initiatives that can help bring the nuclear issue on the Peninsula back to the negotiating table.
《人民日报》记者：您如何评价三年来的中国外交？未来中国外交还能给人带来什么期待？
People’s Daily: How do you rate China’s diplomacy in the last three years? What more can we expect from China’s diplomacy going forward?
王毅：十八大以来，在以习近平同志为总书记的党中央领导下，中国外交在继承传统基础上积极进取，开拓前行。习近平总书记深刻把握国内外大势，提出一系列新理念、新思路和新举措，指明了中国外交前进的方向。春华秋实，三年有成。我们正在走出一条有中国特色的大国外交之路。
Wang Yi: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and under the leadership of the CPC Central Committee headed by General Secretary Xi Jinping, we have built on China’s diplomatic tradition, made active efforts and broken new ground. Based on his keen grasp of the domestic and international situation, General Secretary Xi has put forward a whole series of new thinking, new ideas and new steps and pointed the way forward for China’s diplomacy. Three years is a good time to take stock of what we have achieved. Simply put, we are on the path of pursuing major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics.
中国特色大国外交的努力目标是助力民族复兴的“中国梦”和建设人类命运共同体。战略选择是坚持自身和平发展，同时推动世界的和平发展。基本原则是合作共赢，构建以合作共赢为核心的新型国际关系。主要路径是建立形式多样的伙伴关系，倡导结伴而不结盟，对话而不对抗。价值取向是坚持正确义利观，在国际事务中主持公道，弘扬正义，在国家关系中义利兼顾，以义为先。
Our goal is to help realize the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation and build a community of shared destiny for all mankind. The strategic choice is to strive for peaceful development both at home and in the world. The basic principle is to seek win-win cooperation and, on that basis, build a new type of international relations. The main pathway is to establish various types of partnerships and choose partnership over alliance, dialogue over confrontation. The value we insist on is to adopt a balanced approach to friendship and interests, uphold justice in international affairs and put friendship before interests in state-to-state relations.
习近平总书记在2016年新年贺词中说，“世界那么大，问题那么多，国际社会期待听到中国声音、看到中国方案，中国不能缺席”。我们将以习总书记的外交思想为指导，按照党中央、国务院的部署，在实现自身发展目标进程中，以更宽阔视野、更开放胸襟、更积极姿态，同国际社会一道，为世界的和平稳定尽责，为人类的繁荣进步出力。
In his New Year message, General Secretary Xi said, “The world is so big and faces so many problems. The international community wishes to hear China’s voice and see China’s solutions. China cannot be absent.” We will go forward, guided by General Secretary Xi’s diplomatic thinking and the arrangements made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council. In the course of realizing China’s development goals, we will embrace a broader horizon, a more open attitude and a more active posture. We will work with the international community and contribute our share to peace and stability of the world and to prosperity and progress of mankind.
路透社记者：中国为什么不允许外国记者访问南海岛礁？中国南海岛礁建设目的是什么？
The Reuters: Why doesn’t China allow foreign journalists to visit its South China Sea islands and reefs? What is the purpose of China’s construction on the islands and reefs?
王毅：南沙群岛是中国的固有领土，只要是炎黄子孙，都守土有责。中国从来没有也不会提出新的领土要求。
Wang Yi: The Nansha Islands are China’s integral territory. Every Chinese has an obligation to defend them. China has not and will not make any new territorial claims.
中国在自己的岛礁上建设防御设施，是履行国际法赋予的自保权。中国不是在南沙最早部署武器的国家，也不是部署武器最多的国家，更不是军事活动最频繁的国家，“军事化”这顶帽子扣不到中国头上，有更合适的国家可以戴。
In building defense facilities on our own islands and reefs, China is exercising its right to self-preservation under international law. China is not the first country to have deployed weapons in the Nansha, we are not the country that has deployed the most weapons, and we are not the country that conducts the most frequent military activities. China cannot be accused of “militarization”; the label is more suited to some other countries.
中国在南海岛礁上建设的不仅是必要防御设施，更多的是民用设施，是向国际社会提供公共产品。等设施建设完成，具备条件后，我们会考虑邀请外国记者去参观访问。
In addition to building necessary defense facilities on the Nansha and more importantly, China is building civilian facilities to provide public goods to the international community. When the construction is completed and the condition is ripe, we will consider inviting foreign journalists to visit the islands and reefs.
作为南海最大沿岸国，中国最希望维护南海的航行自由。在中国和本地区国家共同努力下，南海现在是世界上最自由和安全的航道之一。我想在这里提醒的是，航行自由不等于横行自由。如果有人想把南海搅浑，把亚洲搞乱，中国不会答应，本地区绝大多数国家也不会允许。
China is the largest country bordering the South China Sea, so we hope, more than any other country, to uphold the freedom of navigation in the South China Sea. Thanks to the concerted efforts of China and other regional countries, it is one of the freest and safest sea lanes in the world. I want to remind some people that the freedom of navigation does not give them a license to do whatever they want. If someone wants to muddy the waters or to destabilize Asia, China will not agree to it and the overwhelming majority of countries in the region will not allow it to happen.
中国一直在为南海和平稳定做出各种努力。我们专门设立了中国—东盟海上合作基金，陆续开展了40多个合作项目。我们积极推进“南海行为准则”的磋商，已形成两份共识文件，进入商谈“重要和复杂问题”新阶段。我们主动提出制定“海上风险管控预防性措施”，尤其是提出设立“海上紧急事态外交热线”和“海上联合搜救热线”，充分展示了我们的诚意。尽管这些努力一直受到个别国家的干扰阻挠，但是，中国完全有能力，也有信心与东盟国家一道，确保南海的和平发展大局。
The fact is, China has made various efforts to promote peace and stability in the South China Sea. We have set up a China-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation Fund, which has supported over 40 cooperation projects. We are actively advancing the COC consultation: The parties have reached two Lists of Commonalities and entered into the phase of discussing crucial and complex issues. We have initiated to formulate preventive measures for managing maritime risks. And we have offered to set up the maritime emergency diplomatic hotline and the maritime joint search and rescue hotline. These initiatives speak volumes about our sincerity, but they’ve been obstructed by certain individual countries. Yet China has every capability and confidence to work with ASEAN countries to maintain the overall picture of peace and development in the South China Sea.
凤凰卫视记者：据报道，中国将很快开始在吉布提建设后勤保障设施。中国如何维护不断扩展的海外利益？
Phoenix Satellite TV: It is reported that China will soon build a logistics center in Djibouti. How will China protect its ever-growing overseas interests?
王毅：你刚才提到中国海外利益的扩展，我认为抓到了问题的关键。
Wang Yi: You mentioned China’s growing overseas interests. I think it is the key to understanding the matter.
同任何成长中的大国一样，中国的利益也在不断向海外延伸。目前已有3万家中国企业遍布世界各地，数百万中国人工作生活在全球各个角落，去年非金融类对外直接投资达到1180亿美元，中国海外资产积累已达数万亿美元。中国外交的一项紧迫任务，就是维护好不断增长的海外利益。
Like any major country that is growing, China’s overseas interests are expanding. At present, there are 30,000 Chinese businesses all over the world and several million Chinese are working and living in all corners of the world. Last year, China’s non-financial outbound direct investment reached 118 billion dollars and the stock of China’s overseas assets reached several trillion dollars. So it has become a pressing task for China’s diplomacy to better protect our ever-growing overseas interests.
如何来维护？我愿明确地告诉大家，中国绝不走传统大国的扩张老路，也不会搞任何强权政治。我们要探索一条符合时代潮流，得到各方欢迎，具有中国特色的维权之路。
How to do it? Let me state on the record that China will not take the old path of expansionism followed by traditional powers, and we will not engage in any form of power politics. Rather, we want to pioneer a uniquely Chinese way to protect our overseas interests, one that is in tune with the trend of the times and welcomed by the other parties.
首先，我们愿承担更多的国际安全义务。2008年起中国海军就参与索马里海域护航，迄今已派出22批舰艇编队，为中外6000多艘船只护航。中国已成为安理会五常中派出维和人员最多的国家，中国贡献的维和经费已上升到世界第二位。
First, China is willing to take on more international security responsibilities. Since 2008, Chinese navy has conducted escort missions off the Somali coast. So far, we have dispatched 22 fleets to escort over 6,000 Chinese and foreign ships passing through those waters. China is the biggest contributor of peacekeeping personnel among the five permanent members of the Security Council. We are also the second largest contributor to the UN peacekeeping budget.
二是根据客观需要，响应当事国的愿望，在涉及中国利益集中的地区，尝试进行一些必要的基础设施和保障能力建设。这不仅合情合理，也符合国际惯例。
Second, responding to actual needs and the wishes of the countries in question, we are trying to build some necessary infrastructure and logistical capacities in regions with a concentration of Chinese interests. This is not just reasonable and logical, but also consistent with international practice.
三是与世界各国深化互利合作，包括执法安全合作，建设性参与国际地区热点问题的政治解决，从而为中国在海外发展营造更为安全稳定的环境。
And third, we want to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries, including law enforcement and security cooperation. At the same time, we will play a constructive role in the political settlement of international and regional issues, so as to create a more secure and stable environment for China’s development overseas.
美国有线电视新闻网记者：菲律宾提起的南海仲裁案可能作出不利于中国的判决。中方是否感到忧虑？打算怎样应对？
CNN: The ruling from the arbitration initiated by the Philippines may be against China. Is China worried and how will China respond to it?
王毅：中国政府早在2006年，就依据《联合国海洋法公约》第298条赋予的权利，作出排除强制性仲裁的政府声明。作出类似声明的，全球有30多个国家，这些排除性声明一并构成《公约》不可分割的组成部分，应得到各方尊重。因此，中国不接受南海仲裁案，完全是在依法行事。而菲律宾的做法，恰恰是一不合法，二不守信，三不讲理。不仅违背了在中菲双边协议中做出的承诺，违背了《南海各方行为宣言》第四款的规定，也违背了提出仲裁应由当事方协商的国际实践。菲律宾的一意孤行，显然有幕后指使和政治操作。对于这样一场走了调、变了味的所谓仲裁，中方恕不奉陪。
Wang Yi: Back in 2006, the Chinese government exercised its right under Article 298 of UNCLOS and made a declaration that excludes compulsory arbitration. More than 30 other countries have made similar declarations. They are an integral part of UNCLOS and must be respected by others. So, by not accepting the arbitration case, China is acting entirely in accordance with the law. The Philippines’ action, on the other hand, is unlawful, unfaithful and unreasonable. It has violated its own commitments in bilateral agreements with China, breached Article 4 of the DOC and broken with international practice that arbitration has to be mutually agreed. Its stubbornness is clearly the result of behind-the-scenes instigation and political maneuvering. This so-called arbitration has become tainted and gone astray, and China is not going to humor it.
中国最早发现、命名、开发、管辖南海诸岛。我们的先人在这里世代耕耘、辛勤劳作。我们比任何人都熟悉和热爱这个地方，比任何人都希望南海和平稳定、航行自由。
China was the first country to discover, name, develop and administer the South China Sea islands. Our ancestors lived and worked there for generations, so we know and love the place more than anyone else. And more than anyone else, we want to uphold peace, stability and freedom of navigation in the South China Sea.
在南海这一舞台上，曾有过殖民侵略，有过非法侵占，现在又有人兴风作浪，还有人炫耀武力。但是，就像潮水来了又退去一样，这些图谋最终都不会有结果。
Over the years, the South China Sea has seen colonial invasion and illegal occupation. Now, some people are trying to make waves, some others are showing off force. However, like the tide that comes and goes, these attempts will not make any impact.
历史终将证明，谁只是匆匆过客，谁才是真正主人。
History will prove who is a mere visitor and who is the real host.
《环球时报》记者：中国是否还把朝鲜当成盟国？如果半岛发生战争，中国是否会再来一次“抗美援朝”？
The Global Times: Does China still see the DPRK as an ally? Should war ever break out on the Korean Peninsula, will China fight the United States and assist the DPRK like it did during the Korean War?
王毅：中国和朝鲜半岛山水相连，休戚与共。中朝关系是有着深厚友好传统的国与国之间的正常关系。
Wang Yi: China and the Korean Peninsula are linked by common mountains and rivers; we have gone through thick and thin together. Nowadays, China and the DPRK enjoy a normal state-to-state relationship built on a deep tradition of friendship.
中国既重情义，也讲原则。我们珍视同朝鲜的传统友好，朝鲜要谋发展、求安全，我们愿意支持帮助。但同时，我们坚持半岛无核化的立场毫不含糊，对朝方推进核、导计划的做法不会迁就。应当清楚地看到：无核才能和平，对话才是出路，合作才能共赢。
China both values friendship and stands on principle. We cherish our traditional bonds with the DPRK. If the country seeks development and security, we are prepared to help and provide support. But at the same time, we have an unwavering commitment to the denuclearization of the Peninsula and we will not accommodate the DPRK’s pursuit of nuclear and missile programs. One should see very clearly that only denuclearization can bring peace, only dialogue can provide the way out and only cooperation can bring win-win outcomes.
新加坡《联合早报》记者：中国带头倡议亚投行，对外输出大型基础设施，目的是否是从根本上修改国际秩序？
Lianhe Zaobao: China initiated the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and is helping other countries build large-scale infrastructure. Is it China’s goal to overhaul the international order?
王毅：中国对外交往更加活跃，国际地位不断增强。尤其是去年，中国在国际体系中的制度性权力得到显著提升。我们在国际货币基金组织中的份额和投票权升至第三位，人民币加入特别提款权货币篮子，中国成为欧洲复兴开发银行成员，中国对联合国的贡献综合评估已达到第二位。这些事实恰恰说明，中国并没有另起炉灶，而是努力在现有国际秩序和体系中发挥更多作用。当然，随着中国国力的增强，我们需要合理的发展空间，获得相应的国际话语权。这也是一件正常的事情。
Wang Yi: China has become more active in its external relations and China’s international standing has been on the rise. Last year saw a notable enhancement of China’s power in international institutions. We now have the third largest quota and voting power in the IMF, the Renminbi has been included in the SDR basket, and China has become a member of the EBRD. Overall, China makes the second biggest contribution to the United Nations. These facts illustrate that China is not building a rival system. On the contrary, we are seeking to play a bigger role in the existing international order and system. Of course, as China grows in strength, we need reasonable development space and gain corresponding say in international affairs. This is something quite normal.
至于中国倡导的亚投行和中方参与的金砖银行，都是对现有金融体系的完善和补充。中国有信心走出一条与传统大国不同的强国之路。不同在什么地方？集中体现在中国恪守联合国宪章的宗旨原则，不搞恃强凌弱；中国追求和世界各国的合作共赢，不搞零和博弈。

中国国际广播电台记者：近来中美在亚太地区的战略竞争加剧，今年又是美国的总统选举年，您对中美关系前景怎么看？对构建中美新型大国关系是否有信心？
CRI: There is a growing strategic contest between China and the United States in the Asia-Pacific. The presidential election in the United States this year creates added uncertainties. How does China view the prospect of China-US relations? Are you confident in building the new model of major-country relations?
王毅：中美作为两个大国，既有合作，也有摩擦，可能是个常态。今天早上我刚听到一个消息，美国对中国的企业进行贸易限制。这不是处理经贸矛盾的正确做法，损人不利己。我们的工作，就是直面和解决问题，扩大和深化合作，同时努力把摩擦也变成合作。过去双方在气候变化上有分歧，去年中美共同促成了巴黎气变大会的成功。前一段网络是摩擦，现在双方建立起一整套对话合作机制。最近海上问题的摩擦多了起来，但我相信，等到美国真正冷静下来后，双方完全可以更多考虑如何开展海上合作。摩擦的根源是美国总有一些人对中国抱有战略疑虑，总是担心中国有一天会取代美国。我要强调的是，中国不是美国，中国决不会也不可能成为另一个美国。我们无意取代或领导谁。建议美国朋友更多学习体会一下中国5000年积淀的历史文化传统，不要动辄套用美式思维来判断中国。想清楚了这一点，中美关系的前景就会豁然开朗。
Wang Yi: China and the United States are two major countries. There is both cooperation and friction between us. This might be the normal state of affairs. This morning, I’ve just heard news that the United States has announced trade restrictions on a Chinese company. We don’t think it’s the right way to handle economic and trade disputes. This approach will only hurt others without necessarily benefiting oneself. In the face of problems, our task is to resolve them. We want to expand and deepen cooperation and, at the same time, work hard to turn friction into cooperation. In the past, the two countries had friction in the area of climate change. Yet last year, we worked together to ensure the success of the Paris Conference. In the recent period, cybersecurity was a point of friction. But we’ve set up a number of dialogue and cooperation mechanisms. More recently, there is growing friction concerning maritime issues. But I think when the US truly cools down, it’s entirely possible for us to consider conducting maritime cooperation. The source of these frictions is that there are always some people in the United States who have strategic suspicions about China. They are worried that China will one day supersede the United States. I want to emphasize once again that China is not the United States, and China will not and cannot become another United States. We have no intention to displace anybody or dominate anybody. My advice to American friends: Perhaps you may want to spend more time learning about China’s cultural tradition distilled from its 5,000-year history, and don’t always judge China with the American mindset. Get this right, and you’ll see the bright prospects of China-US relations.
习近平主席多次指出，中美合作可以办成很多有利于两国和世界的大事。总结中美关系走过的风风雨雨，还是构建不冲突不对抗、相互尊重、合作共赢的新型大国关系这条路，符合双方的共同和长远利益，也顺应世界发展变化的潮流。我们希望，不管美国的政府和领导人如何更替，美方都能和中方一起，沿着这个正确的方向坚定走下去。
President Xi has pointed out time and again that when China and the United States work together, we can accomplish great things that benefit our two countries and the whole world. Having gone through a lot in our relationship, we have now embarked on efforts to build a new model of major-country relations featuring no conflict or confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation. This serves the shared and long-term interests of both sides, and conforms to the trend of the world. It is our hope that the change of government and leaders in the United States notwithstanding, the US side will work with China to take determined steps in the right direction.
俄通—塔斯社记者：当前复杂国际形势下，俄中全面战略协作伙伴关系是否面临挑战？
ITAR-TASS: Does the complex international situation present challenges for the Russia-China comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination?
王毅：中俄关系是成熟、稳定的。我们的全面战略协作伙伴关系建立在相互信任、相互支持的牢固基础上，也有着加强合作、互利双赢的巨大需求，完全经得起任何国际风云的检验，不会因一时一事而改变。去年一年，习近平主席就和普京总统会晤了5次，为中俄关系保持发展势头发挥了重要引领作用。两国间的大项目合作在积极有序推进，东线天然气管道已开工建设，产能和装备制造、农业、财金等领域合作也在提速。
Wang Yi: China-Russia relations are mature and stable. Our comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination is built on a solid foundation of mutual trust and mutual support. The two sides have a strong desire to strengthen win-win cooperation. The relationship can pass the test of any international development and will not be weakened by any particular incident. In 2015, President Xi and President Putin met five times and set the tone for the continued strong momentum in China-Russia relations. We are making active and orderly progress in various big projects. Construction has started on the eastern route of the natural gas pipeline. And our cooperation on industrial capacity, equipment manufacturing, agriculture, finance and so on is gathering pace.
中俄经济互补性强，合作需求大，具有长期性和战略性，一些临时性因素不会也不可能影响中俄深化全方位合作的大趋势。
China and Russia have significant economic complementarities and a strong desire to work with each other. Our cooperation is long-term and strategic in nature. The temporary factors will not prevent China and Russia from deepening our all-round cooperation.
今年是《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》签署15周年。我们愿大力弘扬条约确定的世代友好理念，把两国高水平的政治关系优势转化为更多务实合作成果，不断丰富全面战略协作伙伴关系的内涵。
This year marks the 15th anniversary of the signing of the China-Russia Treaty on Good-neighborliness, Friendship and Cooperation. We want to carry forward the vision of ever-lasting friendship set by the treaty, turn our strong political relations into more fruits of practical cooperation, and add new substance to the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination.
