各位使节,各位将军,


中国驻欧盟使团军事代表颜文京少将,


中国驻比利时大使馆武官陈丽峰大校,


女士们,先生们,朋友们:


大家晚上好!欢迎大家出席中国驻比利时大使馆和中国驻欧盟使团联合举办的庆祝中国人民解放军建军97周年招待会。感谢各位来宾长期以来对中比、中欧关系,特别是安全和防务领域的支持和帮助。

当前,国际形势动荡不安,安全成为时代“热搜”词。不知道这是不是职业外交官和武官们“太过努力”或“不够努力”的缘故。

十年前,习近平主席提出共同、综合、合作、可持续的安全观,受到了国际社会广泛支持。两年前,习近平主席提出全球安全倡议。上个月,我们隆重集会纪念和平共处五项原则发表70周年。中国安全观的核心要义一以贯之、清晰明确,即坚持尊重各国主权和领土完整,坚持遵守《联合国宪章》的宗旨和原则,坚持重视各国合理安全关切。中方始终认为,各国安全不可分割,即自身安全与共同安全不可分割、传统安全与非传统安全不可分割、安全权利与安全义务不可分割、安全与发展不可分割。国际关系的事实反复证明,战争和制裁不是解决争端的根本之道,对话协商才是化解分歧的有效途径。

开战容易止戈难。中方坚持通过对话协商以和平方式解决国家间的分歧和争端,也只有对话协商才能实现普遍安全、共同安全。中国是这样说的,更是这样做的。这从中国倡议政治解决乌克兰危机的立场和实践中可见一斑。

2022年3月,习近平主席同法德领导人举行视频峰会时,提出应对乌克兰危机的“四个应该”,即各国主权、领土完整都应该得到尊重;联合国宪章宗旨和原则都应该得到遵守;各国合理安全关切都应该得到重视;一切有利于和平解决危机的努力都应该得到支持。2022年11月,习近平主席同美国总统拜登会晤时又提出“三点思考”:一是冲突战争没有赢家;二是复杂问题没有简单解决办法;三是大国对抗必须避免。2024年5月,中国和巴西共同发表《关于政治解决乌克兰危机的共识》文件,呼吁有关各方遵守局势降温的“三原则”,即战场不外溢、战事不升级、各方不拱火,强调对话谈判是解决危机的唯一可行出路,呼吁各方共同努力推动局势降温缓和,获得一百多个国家积极回应。也是在2024年5月,习近平主席对法国进行国事访问期间,再度就乌克兰危机阐明中方原则立场,强调中国既不是危机的制造者,也不是当事方、参与方,但我们没有隔岸观火,而是一直在为实现和平发挥积极作用。以谎言和虚假信息对中国横加指责,不仅无助于解决危机,只会使危机延宕。早日停火止战符合各方利益。中方愿与各国、各国际和地区组织共同努力,推动这场令全球各地百姓深受其苦的危机早日政治解决,让和平的曙光早日到来。

巴以冲突是又一场人间惨剧,中欧都对冲突受害者深表同情。习近平主席指出,巴以冲突这场悲剧延宕至今,是对人类良知的考验,国际社会必须有所作为。我们呼吁推动加沙立即实现全面、可持续停火,支持巴勒斯坦成为联合国正式会员国,支持恢复巴勒斯坦民族合法权利,重启“两国方案”,实现中东地区持久和平。

中国是始终珍惜和捍卫世界和平的国家。作为中华文明的重要标志,长城同时也是几千年来中国军事防御性的象征。中国坚定奉行独立自主的和平外交政策,坚定走和平发展的道路。中国是世界上唯一将和平发展写进宪法的国家,也是五大拥核国家当中唯一承诺不首先使用核武器的国家。中国现在是、将来也永远是世界和平安宁的中流砥柱。

世界虽动荡不安,但中比、中欧和世界各国人民对和平、安全、发展的渴望愈加强烈。中比、中欧携手应对全球安全挑战具有重要意义。中国将继续深入践行全球安全倡议,坚定做世界和平的建设者、全球发展的贡献者、国际秩序的维护者。不管国际风云如何变幻,中国不会赞同选边站队、集团对抗和“新冷战”,更不会站在对抗、冲突、战争一边,而是坚定站在对话、合作、和平一边,站在历史正确的一边。中国人民解放军是全球安全倡议的忠实实践者,将继续守护好中国和中国人民的和平与安宁,也将一如既往致力于为国际社会提供更多公共安全产品,为促进人类共同安全、世界持久和平作出积极贡献。

谢谢大家。

Excellencies, 

Generals, 

General Yan Wenjing, Military Representative of the Chinese Mission to the European Union,

Senior Colonel Chen Lifeng, Military Attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Belgium,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Dear Friends,


Good evening! Bonsoir! Goedenavond! I wish to welcome all of you to this reception jointly hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Belgium and the Chinese Mission to the European Union, celebrating the 97th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army, known as the PLA. I'd like to thank all our friends from all walks of life here, who have for long been committed to and supportive of China-Belgium relations and China-EU relations, particularly in security and defense affairs.

As we live in a more volatile world, security has become the catchword of the day. I don't know whether this has anything to do with the fact that all of us professional diplomats and ranking military officers have been working hard enough or not enough. Ten years ago, in 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping initiated a vision for common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, widely applauded and supported by the international community. Two years ago, President Xi Jinping put forward the Global Security Initiative, the GSI. And we just marked the 70th anniversary of the Five Principles of Peaceful Co-existence. The essence of China's view on security is clear and simple: The sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations shall be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter shall be observed, the legitimate security concerns of all nations shall be taken seriously. One’s security and others’ security cannot be divided, one cannot guarantee one's own security at the expense of others’ security for long. Traditional security and nontraditional security cannot be divided. Security rights, interests and obligations cannot be divided. Security and development cannot be divided. As we all know, that security and development are mutually reinforcing, and disputes and differences among nations shall be peacefully resolved through dialogue and consultations. Wars and sanctions are not a most effective way to resolve disputes. 

We all know it is much easier to start a war than to finish a war. Dialogue and consultations represent the right way forward, and only in this way can we achieve universal security and security for all. This is not only the talk we talk, but also the walk we walk in China. It also applies to China's approach to the Ukraine crisis. In March 2022, Chinese President Xi Jinping, in his online video meeting with the then French and German leaders, made it clear that as far as this crisis is concerned, the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries must be respected, the purposes and principles of the UN Charter must be fully observed, the legitimate security concerns of all countries must be taken seriously, and all efforts that are conducive to the peaceful settlement of the crisis must be supported. 

Then, in November, the same year, 2022, in his meeting with American President Joe Biden, President Xi Jinping also shared with him the three observations: first, conflicts and wars produce no winner; second, there is no easy or simple solution to a complex issue; third, confrontation between major countries in the world must be avoided. 

Then, in May this year, China and Brazil jointly released Common Understandings on Political Settlement of the Ukraine crisis. China and Brazil call on all relevant parties to observe three principles for deescalating the situation, namely, no expansion of the battlefield, no escalation of fighting, and no fanning up the flames by any party, and we should work together to create conditions for direct dialogue between Russia and Ukraine. 

In the same month this year, President Xi made the Chinese position clear once again during his state visit to France. China did not start the crisis in Ukraine, nor is China a party directly involved in the crisis. Instead of being an onlooker, China has been playing an important and positive role for peace in this crisis. Blaming China with barefaced lies and the disinformation will not help at all to resolve the crisis, it will only prolong the crisis. Working harder for peace is the right way forward and in the best interest of all nations. China is willing and ready to work with all nations in this world, with all regional and international organizations, to help secure an early conclusion to the conflict, to promote peace and encourage and promote dialogue for an end to this crisis, that has taken a serious toll on innocent people in many places in this part of the world and other parts of the world.

Besides, the ongoing Palestinian-Israeli conflicts is another human tragedy. China and European countries share the sympathy towards the innocent victims of the conflict. President Xi Jinping also said that this ongoing tragedy is a very hard test on human conscience, the international community must do something, and we call on a comprehensive and sustained ceasefire in Gaza, and we support Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations. We support the restoration of the legitimate rights and interests of the Palestinian people, and the relaunch of the two-state solution. Only in this way can we achieve lasting peace in the Middle East. 

China itself is a peace-loving country. You may be aware that the hallmark of our country, China, is the Great Wall, which has been a symbol of defense for thousands of years. We consistently pursue an independent foreign policy of peace and adhere to the path of peaceful development. China is so far probably the only country in this world that has written peaceful development in its constitution. China is also the only country among all nuclear weapons states who has undertaken not to first use nuclear weapons. Rather than a security threat as touted by some, China is and will always be a strong pillar for peace and tranquility of humanity.

The world is far from being tranquil. Still, we can feel the strong desire of people from China, Belgium, other European countries and all of the world, for peace, security and development. That's why it is very important for China and Belgium, for China and the European countries, and for China and all interested international organizations to tackle global security challenges together hand-in-hand. China will continue to advance the Global Security Initiative, and strongly contribute to world peace, development and international order. Whatever the changes in the international arena, China will not go for taking sides or bloc confrontation or a new Cold War. Even if we have to choose, we will never choose the side of confrontation, conflict or war. China will forever be on the side of dialogue, cooperation and peace, we’ll be on the right side of history. The Chinese People's Liberation Army is a strong force for implementing the Global Security Initiative. It will continue, undoubtedly, to safeguard peace and tranquility for China and the Chinese people, and will as always, continue to provide even more public security goods to the international community, and make even greater contribution to common security of humanity and lasting peace of this world. 

Thank you very much.
