毛宁中国同太平洋岛国是相互尊重、共同发展的全面战略伙伴，近年来双方友好合作关系不断深化和发展。这是第三次召开中国—太平洋岛国外长会，也是首次在华线下举办。与会各方将就中国同太平洋岛国全方位交流合作以及共同关心的国际地区问题深入交换意见。中方高度重视同太平洋岛国关系，期待通过此次外长会，积极落实双方领导人的重要共识，加强团结协作，共谋发展繁荣，携手构建更加紧密的中国—太平洋岛国命运共同体。

Mao Ning China and Pacific island countries (PICs) are comprehensive strategic partners committed to mutual respect and common development. The two sides have deepened and advanced friendly ties and cooperation in recent years. It will be the third China-Pacific Island Countries Foreign Ministers’ Meeting and the first time that the meeting is held in person in China. There will be an in-depth exchange of views on interactions and cooperation between China and Pacific island countries in all aspects and international and regional issues of mutual interest. China highly values its ties with PICs and hopes that this meeting will help drive the implementation of the important common understandings reached between leaders of the two sides, enhance solidarity and coordination, unite efforts for development and prosperity, and galvanize an even closer community with a shared future between China and PICs.

毛宁中方一贯反对没有国际法依据、未经联合国安理会授权的单边制裁，对欧方无理制裁中国企业表示强烈不满、坚决反对。在乌克兰危机问题上，中方始终致力于劝和促谈，从未向冲突方提供致命性武器，严格管控军民两用物项出口。当前，包括欧美在内的大多数国家都在同俄罗斯开展贸易。中俄企业正常交往合作不应当受到干扰和影响。欧方应当停止在对俄经贸合作问题上搞双重标准，停止损害中国企业合法利益。中方将采取必要措施，坚决维护自身正当权益。

Mao Ning China opposes unilateral sanctions that have no basis in international law or authorization of the UN Security Council. We deplore and firmly oppose those unjustified European sanctions against Chinese companies. On the Ukraine crisis, China is committed to promoting talks for peace. China has never provided lethal weapons to parties to the conflict and strictly controls the export of dual-use articles. Most countries, including those in Europe and the United States, continue to trade with Russia. The normal exchanges and cooperation between Chinese and Russian companies should not be disrupted or affected. Those in Europe need to stop using double standard on trade and economic cooperation with Russia and hurting the lawful interests of Chinese companies. China will do what is necessary to firmly defend its lawful rights and interests.

毛宁在巴以冲突问题上，中方始终站在公平正义一边。加沙冲突延宕超过一年半，造成严重人道主义危机，冲突持续不符合任何一方利益。无论是以色列还是巴勒斯坦民众，都不应当成为武力袭击的目标，都不应成为集体惩罚的对象。以暴易暴只会陷入冤冤相报的恶性循环，让双方无辜民众付出更大代价、遭受更多苦难。中方将继续同国际社会一道，为推动停火止战、缓解人道局势作出不懈努力。

Mao Ning On the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, China has all along stood on the side of fairness and justice. The Gaza conflict has been dragging on for over a year and half and created a severe humanitarian crisis. It is in no one’s interest to let it continue. Neither the Israelis nor Palestinians should become targets of armed attacks or collective punishment. Violence for violence will only lead to an endless cycle of revenge, and it is the civilians on both sides who will continue to suffer and bear the toll. China will continue working relentlessly with the international community for a ceasefire and the deescalation of the humanitarian situation.

毛宁所谓“金穹”计划，旨在构建不受任何约束的全球性、多层次、多领域导弹防御系统。该计划公然提出大幅增加外空作战手段，包括研发、部署轨道拦截系统，具有浓厚的进攻性色彩，违反《外空条约》倡导的和平利用原则，将加剧外空战场化和军备竞赛风险，动摇国际安全与军控体系。美国奉行“本国优先”，执迷于谋求自身绝对安全，违反“各国安全不受减损”的原则，损害全球战略平衡与稳定。中方对此严重关切。

Mao Ning “Golden Dome” intends to create an unconstrained, global, multi-layer and multi-domain missile defense system. It plans to expand the U.S. arsenal of means for combat operations in outer space, including R&D and deployment of orbital interception systems. That gives the project a strong offensive nature and violates the principle of peaceful use in the Outer Space Treaty. The project will heighten the risk of turning the space into a war zone and creating a space arms race, and shake the international security and arms control system. This is yet another “America First” initiative that puts the U.S.’s absolute security above all else. It violates the principle of “undiminished security for all” and will hurt global strategic balance and stability. China is gravely concerned.
