新华社 记 者 菲律宾总统马科斯刚刚结束对中国的国事访问。这两天无论是中菲两国，还是地区和国际媒体 ， 对这起访问的关注度都很高。请问中方如何评价此访？

Xinhua News Agency Philippine President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos Jr. just wrapped up his state visit to China. Over the past couple of days, this visit has captured much attention from media in both China and the Philippines and the region and beyond. How do you comment on this visit?

双方一致认为，要传承传统友谊。两国元首高度评价中菲友好交往史，特别是中国老一辈领导人同马科斯总统父亲共同推动中菲建交的历史佳话。马科斯总统表示他的家族同中国有着深厚情缘，他也曾亲身参与中菲建交历史，将肩负起继续推进两国传统友谊的重要责任，视中国为菲律宾最强劲的合作伙伴，认为没有什么能够阻挡菲中友谊的延续和发展。

Both sides agreed to carry on their traditional friendship. The two heads of state spoke highly of the history of friendly exchanges between China and the Philippines, especially the inspiring story of the Chinese leaders of the older generation working together with the father of President Marcos Jr. for the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and the Philippines. President Marcos Jr. said that his family has a profound friendship with China and underscored his privilege of being part of history in the establishment of the diplomatic ties between the two countries, and noted the important responsibilities that he is taking on to carry forward the longstanding friendship between the two countries. He said that China is the strongest partner of the Philippines, and nothing can hold back the continuation and development of the Philippines-China friendship.

双方一致认为，要拓展务实合作。特别是要深化中方“一带一路”倡议同菲律宾“多建好建”规划对接，做大做强农业、基建、能源、人文四大重点领域的合作，助力两国各自现代化建设，给两国人民带来更多福祉。双方还续签了共建“一带一路”合作谅解备忘录，签署了农业、基建、电子商务、融资、海关、旅游等10余项合作文件。

Both sides agreed to expand practical cooperation. In particular, the two countries need to form greater synergy between China’s Belt and Road Initiative and the Philippines’ Build Better More program, and strengthen cooperation in the four priority areas of agriculture, infrastructure, energy, and people-to-people exchanges to boost each other’s modernization drive and bring more benefits to our two peoples. The two sides signed an updated Memorandum of Understanding on the Belt and Road Initiative and signed more than ten cooperation documents on agriculture, infrastructure, e-commerce, financing, customs and tourism.

可以说，马科斯总统此访是今年中菲关系的“开门红”，将为新时期中菲关系发展带来重大利好。中方愿同菲方一道，以两国元首共识为遵循，续写千年友好，扩大互利共赢，深化战略互信，推动中菲关系不断走深走实、行稳致远，为两国发展提供支撑，为地区和平稳定贡献正能量。

President Marcos’s visit marks a good start in China-Philippines relations in 2023. It will give a strong boost to the growth of bilateral ties in the new era. China stands ready to work together with the Philippines to deliver on the common understandings between our Presidents, carry forward our two countries’ millennium-old friendship, expand mutually-beneficial cooperation, deepen strategic mutual trust and work for solid and sustained progress in bilateral relations to underpin our respective national development and contribute to regional peace and stability.

Mao Ning Since COVID began, China has shared information and data with the international community in an open and transparent manner. We shared the genome sequence of the virus at the earliest opportunity, making important contribution to the vaccineand drug research and development in countries around the world. China has carried out close cooperation with the WHO over the years. We have kept channels open for close communication at three levels with WHO’s headquarters, Western Pacific Regional Office and Representative Office in China. Preliminary figures show that since COVID was first reported, the two sides have had over 60 technical exchanges on COVID containment, treatment, vaccine research and development and origins-tracing.
