Hong Kong Phoenix TV: Over the past year, China has unveiled some new ideas and measures in its diplomacy. It's clear that there is a shift in China's diplomatic style. What is your perspective on this as China's foreign minister?
[香港凤凰卫视和凤凰网记者] 王外长您好,过去一年中国外交不断推出新的理念和新的举措,非常明显地感觉到中国外交的风格正在转变,所以作为外长您是怎样解读的?谢谢。
Wang Yi: In recent years, the international community is generally interested in how a growing China will handle its relations with the outside world. The CPC Central Committee headed by General Secretary Xi Jinping is committed to innovation in both diplomatic theory and practice. On the basis of maintaining policy continuity and stability, the new Chinese leadership has unveiled a series of major diplomatic ideas and steps.
[王毅] 这是一个很好的问题。这些年来,国际社会确实普遍在关心发展起来的中国如何处理同外部世界的关系。大家都看到了,以习近平同志为总书记的党中央致力于外交理论和实践的创新,在保持我们外交政策连续性、稳定性的基础上,相继提出了一系列重大的、新的理念和举措。
For example, we proposed to build a new model of major country relations. This is to break the historical pattern of conflict and confrontation between major countries and to find a new path in the modern era that seeks win-win cooperation to deliver benefits to all parties. It shows a new approach on the part of China to handle major country relations. It also shows China's sense of responsibility for the international community.
比如,构建新型大国关系,就是要打破大国之间往往冲突、对抗这一历史宿命,走出一条合作共赢、惠及各方的当代新路。我想这体现了我们处理大国关系的新思维,也体现了中国对国际社会的责任和担当。
Let me give you another example. We have proposed the guideline for our neighborhood diplomacy featuring amity, sincerity, mutual benefit and inclusiveness. This is to further demonstrate China's sincerity and goodwill toward its neighbors and our readiness to work with them to build a community of common destiny. It is a new advancement of China's policy toward its neighbors and shows that China is more open and accommodative.
再比如,提出亲诚惠容的周边外交理念,就是为了进一步展示中国对邻国的诚意和善意,愿意同周边国家一道打造命运共同体。这是中国周边睦邻政策的新发展,也展现了中国开放和包容的胸襟。
A third example is that we have proposed a more balanced approach to upholding principles and pursuing interests. It is to put moral principles first when we deal with fellow developing countries and be more sensitive to their needs. It inherits the fine character of China's external relations and reflects the inherent nature of the socialist system. It has become an important banner of China's diplomacy.
再比如,要树立正确的义利观,就是要在同发展中国家打交道的时候,要坚持道义为先,更好地重视和照顾他们的需求。这传承了我们中国对外交往的优秀品格,也是社会主义制度的本质属性,已经成为中国外交的一面重要的旗帜。
These new diplomatic ideas and steps send the following message to the world: China is committed to the path of peaceful development, and we hope other countries will also take the path of peaceful development. The Chinese Dream belongs to the Chinese people, and it is closely connected to the dreams of other nations as our interests are all intertwined.
这些新的理念和举措向世界传递的信息是:中国不仅自己坚持走和平发展道路,也希望其他国家共同走和平发展道路。中国梦既是中国人民的,也与世界各国人民的梦想紧密相连,休戚相关。
