中英对照:2021年12月21日外交部发言人赵立坚主持例行记者会 [6]

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian’s Regular Press Conference on December 21, 2021 [6]

彭博社记者立陶宛外交部称,中国外交部要求立陶宛驻华外交人员归还外交人员证件后离开中国,时限是12月14日。一天后,即12月15日,立方仍然在华的4名外交官、1名使馆技术人员及家人离开了中国。中国外交部对此有何评论?
Bloomberg Lithuania pulled out its remaining four diplomats, one technical embassy employee and their relatives on short notice on December 15 in Beijing, a day after a deadline given by the Chinese foreign ministry demanding the return of the envoys’ diplomatic ID cards. Lithuania’s foreign ministry said this. Does the foreign ministry of China have any comment on this?
赵立坚在中立关系已经降为代办级的情况下,中方要求立陶宛驻华外交机构重新申办外交人员和行政技术人员身份证件,这是中方做好驻华使团服务与管理的正常程序,符合相关国际法和国际惯例,并不影响立陶宛外交人员在华正常履职和生活。同时,中方根据《维也纳外交关系公约》保障所有在华外交机构的安全及合法权利,保障包括立陶宛在内的各国驻华外交机构正常开展工作。
Zhao Lijian With the downgraded relations to the chargé d’affaires level, China asked Lithuania’s diplomatic representation in China to reapply for the identification cards for diplomats. This is a normal procedure of China’s support and management of foreign missions in China, which complies with international law and common international practice. It does not affect the normal fulfillment of duties and life of Lithuanian diplomats in China. At the same time, China protects the security and legitimate rights of all diplomatic missions in China and their normal operation, including Lithuania’s diplomatic representation, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
立陶宛在事先没有通知中方的情况下,突然安排所有驻华外交人员不辞而别,随后却四处散布不实言论,自编自导了一出闹剧,中方对此表示遗憾并坚决反对。我们正告立陶宛,试图耍花招,推卸责任、混淆视听,甚至对中方进行政治讹诈,这完全打错了算盘。立陶宛唯一的出路只能是老老实实纠正错误,停止损害中方国家主权和领土完整,回到奉行一个中国原则的正确道路上来。
Without prior notification to the Chinese side, the Lithuanian side suddenly decided to pull out all its diplomats from China and spread false statements afterwards, thus putting on a self-directed farce. China regrets and firmly opposes this. A stern warning to the Lithuanian side: the attempt to pull some tricks, shirk responsibilities, distort facts and even blackmail China politically is completely miscalculated. For Lithuania, the only way out is to earnestly correct mistakes, stop undermining China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and come back to the commitment to the one-China principle, which is the right path to follow.
