赵立坚埃塞俄比亚是中国在非洲重要合作伙伴。我们关注埃塞俄比亚国内形势发展，衷心希望埃塞俄比亚国家和平稳定、发展繁荣。据我了解，中方在埃塞俄比亚也有企业处于战乱地区。在埃塞有关方面帮助下，中国公民已经基本撤出。

Zhao Lijian Ethiopia is China's important cooperative partner in Africa. We have been following the situation in the country and sincerely wish it peace, stability, development and prosperity. To my knowledge, there are some Chinese companies in the conflict region in Ethiopia. With the assistance of the Ethiopian side, the Chinese citizens there have basically been evacuated.

赵立坚我在巴基斯坦常驻期间曾经6次访问瓜达尔港，从瓜达尔港的建设一直到开发利用，我都深有体会。对瓜达尔港开发建设取得的新进展，我感到由衷高兴。中方支持瓜达尔港在地区货物贸易合作中发挥更大作用。事实证明，中巴经济走廊不仅造福中巴两国人民，也有利于增进区域互联互通与经济合作。我们有信心，在各方共同努力下，中巴经济走廊必将为地区发展繁荣发挥更加积极的作用。

Zhao Lijian During my post in Pakistan, I visited Gwadar Port six times, which gave me a first-hand experience of the port's construction, development and operation. I'm most delighted to learn of the new progress in the development of the Gwadar Port. China supports the port in playing a bigger role in regional trade in goods. As has been proven, the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor not only brings benefits to the people in both countries, but also helps enhance regional connectivity and economic cooperation. We have every confidence that with the concerted efforts of all sides, the CPEC will contribute more to development and prosperity of the region.

赵立坚关于第一个问题，疫情发生以来，中国同世界卫生组织就病毒溯源问题始终保持着沟通与合作。中方在自身开展溯源工作的基础上，认真、积极落实世卫大会决议，率先邀请世卫组织专家来华开展新冠病毒溯源合作，近期还同世卫组织专家举行了视频交流会。

Zhao Lijian On your first question, China and WHO have been in communication and cooperation on the origin tracing of the virus. While tracing the origin domestically, China has been earnestly implementing WHA resolutions. We are the first to invite WHO experts in for origin-tracing cooperation. We also held video conferences with WHO experts recently.

关于第二个问题，中方注意到莫里森总理对于中国经济发展全球影响和中国脱贫事业的积极评价。中国坚定不移走和平发展道路，始终坚持在相互尊重、平等互利基础上发展同其他国家的友好合作关系。我们也希望所有国家摒弃意识形态偏见，基于《联合国宪章》宗旨和原则以及公认的国际关系基本准则，根据事情的是非曲直决定自身立场。我们希望澳方在对华关系问题上独立做出客观理性、符合自身利益的选择。

On your second question, China noticed Prime Minister Morrison's positive comments on the global influence of China's economic growth and China's poverty alleviation efforts. China is committed to peaceful development and friendly cooperation with other countries based on mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. We also hope all countries will reject ideological bias and base their positions on the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, universally acknowledged basic norms governing international relations, and the merits of the matters concerned. On China-Australia relations, we hope Australia will make independent, objective, sensible choices that serve its own interests.

赵立坚香港已经回归祖国23年，英国政府还在通过发表所谓《香港问题半年报告》对香港事务颠倒黑白，说三道四，对中方进行无理指责，我们对此坚决反对、强烈谴责。

Zhao Lijian It has already been 23 years since Hong Kong returned to the motherland, and yet the British government still tries to poke its nose into Hong Kong affairs while hurling unfounded accusations at China by publishing the so-called Six-monthly Report on Hong Kong. We firmly oppose and strongly condemn this.
