女士們，先生們！
Ladies and gentlemen,
“冷戰(zhàn)”結(jié)束后的二十多年來，東南亞各國享受了第二次世界大戰(zhàn)結(jié)束以來最長時間的和平，收獲了經(jīng)濟(jì)高速發(fā)展和人民生活水平大幅提高。中國與東南亞各國風(fēng)雨同舟，和衷共濟(jì)，在各領(lǐng)域開展了卓有成效的合作。去年是中國與東盟建立對話伙伴關(guān)系25周年，我們舉辦了隆重的紀(jì)念活動。中國已成為東盟最大貿(mào)易伙伴，中國與東盟關(guān)系正邁向新的25年。
Over the last 20 plus years since the end of the Cold War, Southeast Asian countries have enjoyed the longest period of peace in the post-World War II era, marked by fast growth and rising living standards.
In the spirit of unity and mutual help, China and ASEAN countries carried out fruitful cooperation in various fields. Last years, we celebrated the 25th anniversary of China-ASEAN dialogue relations. China has become the largest trading partner of ASEAN, and we look forward to working with ASEAN to embrace the next 25 years of our booming ties.
當(dāng)前，在中國和東盟國家的共同努力下，南海局勢保持總體穩(wěn)定，不斷呈現(xiàn)積極發(fā)展的態(tài)勢。在中菲兩國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人的親自指導(dǎo)下，中菲就妥善處理南海有關(guān)問題達(dá)成一系列重要共識，實現(xiàn)雙邊關(guān)系華麗轉(zhuǎn)圜。今年1月，雙方?jīng)Q定建立南海問題雙邊磋商機(jī)制，并計劃于近期舉行首次會議。去年7月以來，中國和東盟國家相繼發(fā)表《全面有效落實<南海各方行為宣言>的聯(lián)合聲明》和其他重要文件，再次確認(rèn)由直接當(dāng)事國通過談判磋商解決爭議，對外釋放了地區(qū)國家共同維護(hù)南海和平穩(wěn)定的強(qiáng)烈信號。今年1月以來，我走訪了東南亞幾個國家，與我的外國同事談了一些我本人關(guān)于南海沿岸國合作的想法，他們普遍對此很感興趣，紛紛表示愿與中方進(jìn)一步研究。我愿利用今天這個機(jī)會，專門談?wù)劮€(wěn)步推進(jìn)南海沿岸國合作問題。
With the joint efforts of China and ASEAN countries, the situation in the South China Sea has been stable overall and moving in a positive direction.
With the personal attention of state leaders, China and the Philippines reached important consensus on properly handling relevant issues in the South China Sea, bringing about a turnaround in bilateral relations. This January, the two sides agreed to set up a bilateral consultation mechanism on the South China Sea issue, and the first meeting will soon be held.
Furthermore, China and ASEAN countries issued the Joint Statement on the Full and Effective Implementation of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) last July and other important documents, reaffirming that the relevant disputes should be settled through negotiation and consultation by countries directly concerned. It sends a strong signal that regional countries will work together to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea.
In my visits to Southeast Asian countries since January, I shared my thoughts on promoting cooperation among South China Sea coastal States. ASEAN colleagues showed great interest in and wanted to further explore this idea.
Today, let me focus my remarks on this topic.
女士們、先生們！
Ladies and gentlemen,
南海是典型的閉海和半閉海。南海的和平穩(wěn)定與各沿岸國的安全、發(fā)展和繁榮息息相關(guān)，與各沿岸國人民的福祉息息相關(guān)。實現(xiàn)南海地區(qū)的和平穩(wěn)定和繁榮發(fā)展是各沿岸國的共同愿望和共同責(zé)任，符合各沿岸國的共同利益。當(dāng)前，穩(wěn)步推進(jìn)南海沿岸國合作正當(dāng)其時，按中國人的話說就是具備“天時、地利、人和”。各沿岸國應(yīng)勇于創(chuàng)新、開拓思路，妥處分歧、聚焦合作，繼續(xù)發(fā)揚光大傳統(tǒng)友誼，維護(hù)南海和平穩(wěn)定，推動本地區(qū)合作、發(fā)展與繁榮。
The South China Sea is a typical closed or semi-closed sea. Peace and stability there is crucial for the security, development and prosperity of all coastal States and the well-beings of their peoples. It is in the shared interests of all coastal States to promote peace, stability, prosperity and development, which is also our common responsibility.
Now is the right time to launch cooperation among South China Sea coastal States. To quote a Chinese idiom, it is "of the right time, in the right place and with the support of the people.
The coastal States should address the South China Sea issue with an open mind and creative approach, and stay focused on cooperation while properly handling differences. They should carry forward traditional friendship, maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, which is conducive to cooperation, development and prosperity in the whole region.
所謂“天時”，正如我剛才所談，南海局勢已經(jīng)趨穩(wěn)降溫，各國重回通過談判協(xié)商解決有關(guān)爭議問題的正確軌道，在南海地區(qū)積極開展各領(lǐng)域海上務(wù)實合作大有可為。早在6年前，中國政府即宣布設(shè)立中國—東盟海上合作基金，并已開始資助有關(guān)合作項目。2013年，中國國家主席習(xí)近平出訪東南亞期間就提出共建“21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路”的重大倡議。目前，中方發(fā)起建立的“亞洲基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施投資銀行”和“絲綢之路基金”整裝待發(fā)，將為有關(guān)項目合作提供資金支持。迄今，已有100多個國家和國際組織積極響應(yīng)和支持中國有關(guān)倡議，40多個國家和國際組織同中國簽署合作協(xié)議。中國企業(yè)對沿線國家投資達(dá)到500多億美元，一系列重大項目落地開花，帶動了各國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展。
As I just said, now is the right time to launch cooperation among coastal States. The situation in the South China Sea has been cooling down. With countries returning to the right track of settling disputes through negotiation and consultation, much can be achieved in practical maritime cooperation. As early as 6 years ago, the Chinese government declared the establishment of the China-ASEAN Maritime Cooperation Fund, and has begun to finance relevant cooperation programs.
In 2013, President Xi Jinping put forward the important initiative of building a 21st Century Maritime Silk Road during his visit to Southeast Asia. Now, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Silk Road Fund are ready to support relevant cooperation projects.
As of today, more than 100 countries and international organizations have endorsed China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and over 40 of them have signed cooperation agreements with China. Chinese companies have invested over 50 billion US dollars in countries along the Maritime Silk Road and implemented a number of major projects, making a positive impact on the economic growth of relevant countries.
中國愿同東盟各國繼續(xù)深化發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略對接，特別是與《東盟互聯(lián)互通總體規(guī)劃2025》的對接，加強(qiáng)產(chǎn)能合作，推動更多合作項目落地，為提振地區(qū)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長、加強(qiáng)東亞合作勢頭注入強(qiáng)勁動力。中國歡迎地區(qū)國家搭乘中國經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展的“快車”。
China will continue to align its development strategy with those of ASEAN countries, especially the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025(MPAC2025). We will strengthen cooperation on production capacity and implement more cooperation projects in ASEAN countries, to lend new impetus to growth and regional cooperation in East Asia. Countries in the region are welcome to ride in the express train of China’s development.
所謂“地利”，在南海建立沿岸國合作機(jī)制有充足的國際法依據(jù)，國際上的成功案例比比皆是。《聯(lián)合國海洋法公約》規(guī)定：閉海或半閉海沿岸國在行使本公約所規(guī)定的權(quán)利和義務(wù)時，應(yīng)相互合作，盡力直接或通過適當(dāng)區(qū)域組織協(xié)調(diào)海洋生物資源利用，保護(hù)海洋環(huán)境等。此外，包括聯(lián)合國有關(guān)專門機(jī)構(gòu)在內(nèi)的許多重要國際組織均鼓勵閉海或半閉海沿岸國建立機(jī)制、加強(qiáng)合作。
According to the 1982 United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), States bordering an enclosed or semi-enclosed sea should cooperate with each other in the exercise of their rights and in the performance of their duties under UNCLOS. They shall endeavor, directly or through an appropriate regional organization, to coordinate the utilization of the living resources of the sea, and protect and preserve the marine environment.
Moreover, many international organizations, including specialized agencies of the United Nations, have encouraged the coastal States bordering an enclosed or semi-enclosed sea to establish mechanisms of cooperation.
自20世紀(jì)50年代起，與南海相似的閉海或半閉海，如加勒比海、地中海、波羅的海、黑海、里海等沿岸國家相繼建立了沿岸國合作機(jī)制。有的建立了多框架、多機(jī)構(gòu)的成熟合作體系，有的著重在海上安全、海上救援、海洋環(huán)境保護(hù)、漁業(yè)資源管理和海洋科研等領(lǐng)域開展合作。總體看，相關(guān)機(jī)制補充并促進(jìn)了區(qū)域合作格局，有利于增進(jìn)沿岸國間的互信，緩解有關(guān)國家間的領(lǐng)土和管轄權(quán)爭議。這是我們南海沿岸國加強(qiáng)合作可資借鑒的國際范例。
Since the 1950s, the coastal States of many closed or semi-closed seas, such as the Caribbean Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Baltic Sea, the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, have established cooperation mechanisms. Some are mature cooperation systems with multiple frameworks and institutions, and some have focused on thematic cooperation such as maritime security, search and rescue, marine environmental protection, fishery management and marine scientific research.
These mechanisms broadened and enriched regional cooperation. They have been helpful in enhancing mutual trust among coastal States and mitigating territorial and jurisdictional disputes. These are valuable experience for cooperation among the South China Sea coastal States.
事實上，在本地區(qū)，我們也有一些南海沿岸國加強(qiáng)合作的成功實踐。官方層面，我們在全面有效落實《南海各方行為宣言》框架下，開展了一些海上搜救、海洋科研及海洋環(huán)保等領(lǐng)域的合作。非官方層面，我們通過“管理南海潛在沖突研討會”歷年執(zhí)行的項目，進(jìn)行了一系列非常務(wù)實有效、貼近民生的合作。各方均對此表示歡迎，并希望繼續(xù)開展有關(guān)項目合作。在賈拉爾博士的推動下，開展了很多合作項目。
In fact, the South China Sea coastal States have made some successful attempts in this direction. We carried out some cooperation programs on maritime search and rescue, marine scientific research and environmental protection under the framework of the full and effective implementation of the DOC.
At the non-government level, we conducted a number of cooperation projects concerning people’s livelihood through the Workshops on Managing Potential Conflict in the South China Sea. All parties welcome and wish to continue such cooperation.
所謂“人和”，南海地區(qū)人民世代友好，心靈相通，南海沿岸國加強(qiáng)合作有著厚重的歷史積淀。南海自古就是中國與東南亞、南亞、西亞、乃至歐洲和非洲國家互通有無、友好往來的重要通道，是海上絲綢之路的重要組成部分，歷史上為加強(qiáng)中國與各國的政治關(guān)系、貿(mào)易往來、民間友好發(fā)揮了重要作用。數(shù)千年來，南海各沿岸國環(huán)海而居、守望相助，各國人民血脈相親、相互交融。
Advancing cooperation among coastal States is supported by the people. People in our region enjoy a time-honored friendship and formed close cultural bonds. And there is a long tradition of cooperation among coastal States.
Since ancient times, the South China Sea has been a major channel for trade and people-to-people exchanges between China and countries in Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia and even Europe and Africa.
As a vital part of the Maritime Silk Road, the South China Sea played an important role in strengthening political relations, trade and friendship between China and foreign countries. It has borne witness to mutual help and common progress of all coastal States.
南海作為古老的海上絲綢之路的重要通道，承載了各沿岸國人民風(fēng)雨同舟、共同進(jìn)步的美好記憶。同各沿岸國間源遠(yuǎn)流長、歷久彌新的友誼相比，近幾十年出現(xiàn)的南海有關(guān)爭議算不得什么，只是各國關(guān)系中的一小部分。我們現(xiàn)代人沒有任何理由不比我們的先人們做得更好！
In the context of profound friendship among coastal States, the disputes in the South China Sea, which surfaced a few decades ago, only account for a small fraction of our relations. I see no reason why we cannot do a better job than our ancestors.
女士們、先生們！
Ladies and gentlemen,
我們南海沿岸國應(yīng)積極借鑒世界其他地區(qū)的成功經(jīng)驗， 在不妨礙各自主張的前提下，可以發(fā)起并創(chuàng)建相關(guān)合作機(jī)制，為增進(jìn)互信、加強(qiáng)合作和分享利益搭建一個有效的平臺。各國可以在防災(zāi)減災(zāi)、海上搜救、保護(hù)海洋環(huán)境和海洋生物多樣性、海洋科學(xué)研究、海上航行安全等領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行具體的、務(wù)實的、機(jī)制化的合作，同時可以適當(dāng)方式就海上有關(guān)問題交換意見。我們相信，有關(guān)機(jī)制的建立將對本地區(qū)國家積累互信，協(xié)同發(fā)展大有裨益。
The South China Sea coastal States should draw upon the successful experience of other regions, and without prejudice to the parties’ respective claims, work together to initiate and establish a relevant cooperation framework, which could serve as an effective platform for enhancing mutual trust, strengthening cooperation and promoting shared interests.
Such a framework can bring the relevant States together in practical and institutionalized cooperation in fields such as disaster prevention and reduction, maritime search and rescue, protection of marine environment and bio-diversity, marine scientific research and navigation safety.
We may also exchange views on relevant maritime issues in a proper way. We are confident that the establishment of such a framework will be conducive to mutual trust and common development among regional countries.
此外，我還想強(qiáng)調(diào)以下兩點：
In addition, I want to stress the following two points:
一是該合作機(jī)制將與現(xiàn)有中國和東盟各國的雙邊合作機(jī)制以及中國和東盟國家在《南海各方行為宣言》框架下的多邊磋商機(jī)制相輔相成、并行不悖，將是對《宣言》和現(xiàn)有雙邊和多邊機(jī)制的補充，并為開展相關(guān)技術(shù)合作提供新的平臺。
First, such a framework will run in parallel and be complementary to the existing bilateral cooperation mechanisms between China and ASEAN countries and the multilateral consultation mechanism under the framework of the DOC. It will only provide a new platform for relevant technical cooperation.
二是該機(jī)制宗旨在于加強(qiáng)務(wù)實合作，增進(jìn)互信，不涉及解決爭議問題。沿岸國開展合作不應(yīng)影響直接有關(guān)的主權(quán)國家通過談判磋商和平解決領(lǐng)土和管轄權(quán)爭議，也不應(yīng)影響各國在有關(guān)問題上的主張和立場。
Second, the purpose of this framework is to enhance practical cooperation and mutual trust, it is not concerned with dispute settlement. Cooperation among the coastal States will not hamper the efforts of sovereign States directly concerned to seek peaceful settlement of territorial and jurisdictional disputes through negoti
我本人曾就此與一些南海沿岸國的同事進(jìn)行非正式的溝通，他們普遍做出了積極反應(yīng)。接下來，我們愿就此與各方進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)溝通和協(xié)調(diào)，歡迎地區(qū)國家朋友提出意見和建議。
I have conveyed the above ideas informally to colleagues from South China Sea coastal States and they have responded positively. We are ready to engage in more communication and coordination with parties concerned. We welcome responses and suggestions from regional countries.
女士們，先生們！
Ladies and gentlemen,
記得去年這個時候，我們在此為中國南海研究院和東南亞國家智庫共同發(fā)起建立的“中國—東南亞南海研究中心”舉行了揭牌儀式。目前該中心已進(jìn)入中國國內(nèi)注冊登記階段，相信中心的成立將為南海地區(qū)合作貢獻(xiàn)更多的智慧。希望各位特別是東南亞國家的智庫和專家學(xué)者繼續(xù)大力支持并積極參與該中心的運作。
I recall that this time last year, we unveiled right here the “China-Southeast Asia Research Center on the South China Sea (CSARC), which was jointly initiated by the National Institute for South China Sea Studies and the think tanks of Southeast Asian countries.
Now, CSARC is going through domestic registration in China. I believe that its establishment will contribute more wisdom to cooperation in the South China Sea region. I hope that experts and scholars here, especially think tanks from Southeast Asia, will continue to support and take an active part in CSARC operations.
最后，我愿再次熱烈歡迎大家的到來，再次感謝中國南海研究院和吳士存院長為大家提供了這樣一個交流平臺，讓大家暢所欲言，坦誠溝通。歡迎大家繼續(xù)為南海沿岸國有關(guān)合作機(jī)制建設(shè)、南海地區(qū)國家協(xié)同發(fā)展和“21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路”建設(shè)等重大議題建言獻(xiàn)策。
Once again, I wish to welcome all of you to this event, and thank President Wu and his team for providing us with such a good platform for open and candid discussion.
I look forward to your insights and ideas on the setting-up of a cooperation framework among the South China Sea coastal States, and other important topics such as the common development of countries in the South China Sea region and the building of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road.
謝謝大家，預(yù)祝本次南海分論壇圓滿成功！
To conclude, I wish this session a complete success.
Thank you.
