彰显大国担当，为全球抗击疫情作出重大贡献。我们把稳团结合作的“方向盘”，倡导全球疫苗合作行动，发起“一带一路”疫苗合作伙伴关系倡议，始终站在抗疫合作第一方阵，秉持疫苗公共产品第一属性，担当疫苗公平分配第一梯队。我们搬开免疫鸿沟的“拦路虎”，最早承诺将新冠疫苗作为全球公共产品，最早支持疫苗知识产权豁免，最早同发展中国家开展疫苗生产合作，向120多个国家和国际组织提供超过20亿剂疫苗，占中国以外全球疫苗使用总量的三分之一，中国疫苗成为人民的疫苗、世界的疫苗、可及的疫苗。我们为发展中国家送去“及时雨”，宣布再向非洲提供10亿剂、再向东盟国家援助1.5亿剂疫苗，同20国合作就地生产疫苗，多管齐下，争分夺秒，让疫苗跨越山海、跑赢病毒。我们坚持正本清源的“金规则”，反对溯源政治化逆流，同世界卫生组织发布联合专家组溯源报告，展现公开、透明的合作态度。全球80多国致函世界卫生组织反对溯源政治化，中国2500多万网民联署公开信呼吁世界卫生组织调查德特里克堡生物实验室。新冠病毒是人类共同的敌人，政治病毒是疫情肆虐的帮凶，这两种病毒最终都将被人类所战胜。

Fulfilling our responsibility as a major country, we have made significant contribution to global COVID response. We have stayed the course of solidarity and cooperation, launching the Global Vaccine Cooperation Action Initiative and the Initiative for Belt and Road Partnership on COVID-19 Vaccines Cooperation. We have been a pace-setter for closer international cooperation, upheld the primary feature of vaccines as a global public good, and stayed at the forefront of efforts for equitable distribution of vaccines. We have endeavored to bridge the vaccine divide. China was among the first to commit to making COVID vaccines a global public good, to support waiving intellectual property rights on the vaccines, and to start joint production with other developing countries. To date, we have provided over two billion doses of vaccines to over 120 countries and international organizations, accounting for one-third of the total number of vaccines administered outside China. Chinese vaccines have become “vaccines for the people”, “vaccines of the world”, and “vaccines truly accessible”. We have provided badly needed assistance to other developing countries, pledging another one billion doses of vaccines to Africa and an additional donation of 150 million doses to ASEAN countries, and carrying out joint production in 20 countries. We have raced against time and taken multi-pronged actions to see that vaccines are delivered to those in need no matter where they are. We have upheld the “golden rule” of taking a science-based approach and rejected politicization of origins tracing. China and the World Health Organization (WHO) have released a joint report on the origins of the virus, demonstrating a commitment to openness, transparency and international cooperation. Over 80 countries have written to the WHO to express their opposition to politicization of origins tracing. More than 25 million Chinese have joined the online petition calling for the WHO to investigate the Fort Detrick bio-lab. While the coronavirus is the common enemy of mankind, the “political virus” has fueled the spread of the pandemic. In the end, both the coronavirus and the political virus will be defeated by humanity.

深化战略沟通，为大国关系稳定发展不断注入正能量。中俄元首4次通话和视频会晤，正式宣布《中俄睦邻友好合作条约》延期，为中俄传统友谊赋予新的时代内涵。双方以全方位务实合作促进共同发展，以高水平战略协作维护世界稳定，树立起大国相交、邻国相处的典范，成为国际公平正义的中流砥柱。习近平总书记应约同拜登总统两次通话并举行视频会晤，明确提出相互尊重、和平共处、合作共赢的战略框架，为中美关系健康稳定发展把舵引航。我们亮明“三条底线”、打出“两份清单”，要求美方不得挑战中国的道路和制度，不得阻挠中国的发展进程，不得侵犯中国的主权和领土完整。被非法拘押一千多天的孟晚舟女士平安回国，有力伸张了公道正义。中欧关系在挑战中取得新进展。习近平总书记同法国德国领导人两度举行视频峰会，中国—中东欧国家领导人视频峰会成功召开。中欧地理标志协定正式生效，“一带一路”标志性项目稳步推进，中欧在维护多边主义、加强全球治理、应对气候变化等方面取得积极成果。

Deepening strategic communication, we have added impetus to the steady growth of China’s relations with other major countries. The Chinese and Russian presidents have had four telephone conversations and virtual meetings, and officially announced the extension of the Treaty of Good-neighborliness and Friendly Cooperation, enriching the traditional China-Russia friendship in the new era. China and Russia have advanced common development through all-round, practical cooperation, and upheld global stability through substantial strategic coordination. This relationship has set a good example for major-country relations and interactions between neighbors, and become a pillar of international fairness and justice. In his two telephone conversations and one virtual meeting with President Joe Biden, General Secretary Xi Jinping clearly outlined a strategic framework of mutual respect, peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation for China-US relations, charting the course for the sound and steady growth of this relationship. We have set clear “three red lines” and put forward “two lists of key concerns”, urging the US not to challenge China’s path and system, obstruct China’s development process, or infringe on China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Ms. Meng Wanzhou’s safe return to China after being held illegally for over 1,000 days represents a powerful example of justice prevailing in the end. China-EU relations have been further advanced amid challenges. General Secretary Xi Jinping has attended two video summits with French and German leaders, and a China-CEEC Summit has been held via video link; the China-EU agreement on geographical indications has come into force; steady progress has been made in flagship Belt and Road projects; and China and the EU have achieved positive outcomes in such areas as upholding multilateralism, enhancing global governance, and tackling climate change.

南南合作紧扣发展中国家振兴愿望，开拓广阔新空间。中非合作掀起新高潮。习近平总书记出席中非合作论坛第八届部长级会议，提出“真诚友好、平等相待，互利共赢、共同发展，主持公道、捍卫正义，顺应时势、开放包容”的中非友好合作精神，阐述构建新时代中非命运共同体“四点主张”，宣布对非合作“九项工程”，树立起中非关系新的里程碑。中拉关系继续稳中有进。中拉论坛第三届部长会议制定未来三年合作路线图，高质量共建“一带一路”在拉美更加走实，能源电力、交通运输、通信等合作续有进展，中拉贸易连续四年突破3000亿美元大关，平等、互利、创新、开放、惠民的新时代中拉关系加快构建。中阿战略伙伴关系迈上更高水平。我们提出“实现中东安全稳定五点倡议”、政治解决叙利亚问题四点主张、落实巴以“两国方案”三点思路，支持鼓励中东国家走出独立自强的新路。同阿拉伯国家联盟发表《中阿数据安全合作倡议》，不断充实中阿命运共同体内涵。我们还首次举行中国—太平洋岛国外长会，达成共建应急物资储备库、减贫与发展合作中心、应对气候变化合作中心等重要成果，应急物资储备库已经正式启用。事实证明，中国永远是发展中国家阵营的坚定一员，永远和广大发展中国家同呼吸、共命运，心手相连，团结奋进。

We have responded to the developing countries’ aspiration for rejuvenation, and opened up new scope for South-South cooperation. Cooperation between China and Africa has reached a new climax. While attending the eighth Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation via video link, President Xi Jinping highlighted the spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation featuring sincere friendship and equality, win-win for mutual benefit and common development, fairness and justice, progress with the times, and openness and inclusiveness. He put forward a four-point proposal for building a China-Africa community with a shared future in the new era, and announced nine programs for cooperation with Africa. This is a new milestone in China-Africa relations. Relations between China and Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries have made steady progress. A three-year roadmap for cooperation was formulated at the Third Ministers’ Meeting of the China-CELAC Forum (CCF); high-quality Belt and Road cooperation with LAC countries has been further substantiated; new progress has been made in energy, electricity, transportation, communications and other areas of cooperation; China-LAC trade has remained above US$300 billion for four consecutive years; and more efforts have been made to foster a China-LAC relationship for a new era characterized by equality, mutual benefit, innovation, openness, and benefits for the people. The strategic partnership between China and Arab states has scaled a new height. China has proposed a five-point initiative on achieving security and stability in the Middle East, a four-point proposal for the political settlement of the Syrian issue, and a three-point vision for the implementation of the two-state solution, to support and encourage countries in the Middle East to set out on a new path of independence and renewal. China and the League of Arab States (LAS) have issued the China-LAS Cooperation Initiative on Data Security, adding a new dimension to the China-Arab community with a shared future. We have held the first China-Pacific Island Countries Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, which yielded important outcomes including the setup of a joint emergency supplies reserve, a poverty reduction and development cooperation center, and a climate action cooperation center. The emergency supplies reserve was officially launched early this month. Facts have shown that China is always a staunch member of the developing world. It will keep forging ahead hand in hand with fellow developing countries toward a shared future.

Keeping in mind the country’s top priorities, we have done our utmost to serve domestic development and the interests of our people through diplomacy.We have successfully hosted promotion events for Hubei and Tibet, and supported the China International Fair for Trade in Services, the CIIE, and other international events hosted by China, in a bid to build new bridges for different localities to open up wider to the world. We have introduced targeted COVID-19 protocols for incoming travelers prior to their trips to secure the gains in pandemic control at home, and opened “fast tracks” for the travel of essential personnel and “green lanes” for the shipment of emergency COVID-19 supplies to ensure unimpeded domestic and international circulations and to support the fostering of a new development paradigm. We have launched a Spring Sprout program to get Chinese nationals abroad vaccinated against COVID-19, so far benefiting millions in 180 countries. Our consular service hotline 12308, running 24/7 to help Chinese nationals facing difficulties abroad, has received over 500,000 calls this year. Our diplomatic missions abroad have processed about 60,000 consular protection and assistance cases. We have provided risk assessment and alert services around the globe, helped Chinese enterprises and personnel operating overseas enhance security and self-protection capabilities, evacuated Chinese from high-risk areas, responded properly to major terrorist attacks, and worked all-out to rescue Chinese hostages. The China Consular Affairs app has been launched, and a mode of “Internet plus consular services” has been introduced to make consular services more easily accessible.
