地区发展繁荣离不开南海的和平稳定。中方始终致力于遵守包括《联合国海洋法公约》在内的国际法，始终恪守《南海各方行为宣言》，坚持同当事国通过对话协商妥处分歧，积极开展海上务实合作。南海的航行和飞越自由不存在任何问题。当前，中国和东盟国家正积极推进“南海行为准则”磋商，争取早日达成。我想强调，中国在南海的领土主权和海洋权益具有充分的历史和法理依据。中方采取必要措施，维护自身主权权益，合理合法。有关域外国家应当尊重和支持中国与地区国家共同维护南海和平稳定的努力，切实为地区和平稳定发挥建设性作用。

Peace and stability in the South China Sea is critical to the development and prosperity of our region. China has all along committed itself to international law, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), consistently honored the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC), opted for dialogue and consultation with countries directly concerned in properly handling differences, and actively engaged in practical maritime cooperation. There are no obstacles whatsoever to freedom of navigation or overflight in the South China Sea. At present, China and ASEAN countries are actively advancing consultations on a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC) and will strive for its early conclusion. I wish to underscore that China’s territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea have solid historical and legal grounds. It is legitimate and lawful for China to take necessary measures to safeguard its sovereign rights and interests. Relevant countries outside the region should respect and support the joint efforts of China and regional countries to maintain peace and stability in the South China Sea, and truly play a constructive role for peace and stability in the region.

中方将继续依法坚定维护自身主权和权益，继续与有关当事方通过对话协商妥处涉海分歧，同东盟各国一道全面有效落实《南海各方行为宣言》，推进“南海行为准则”磋商，共同维护南海和平稳定。

China will continue firmly safeguarding its sovereignty, rights and interests in accordance with the law, properly handling maritime disputes with parties concerned through dialogue and consultation, working with ASEAN countries to fully and effectively implement the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, and moving forward consultations on a code of conduct in the South China Sea so as to jointly safeguard peace and stability in the South China Sea.

林剑：2024年7月，中方基于三点原则立场，同菲方就仁爱礁运补人道主义生活物资达成临时性安排。中方的立场没有变化，我愿简要重申。第一，菲律宾派“军舰”在仁爱礁长期“坐滩”侵犯中国主权，违反《南海各方行为宣言》。中方仍要求菲方拖走非法“坐滩”军舰，恢复仁爱礁无人无设施的原状。第二，在菲方拖走该舰前，中方愿从人道主义出发，在菲方事先向中方通报，并经现场核查后，允许菲方对该舰居住人员提供生活物资补给，中方将全过程予以监控。第三，如果菲方试图建设固定设施和永久哨所，中方绝不接受，将坚决依法依规予以拦阻。

Lin Jian: In July 2024, on the basis of a three-point principled position, China reached provisional arrangement with the Philippines on humanitarian resupply of living necessities involving Ren’ai Jiao. China’s position remains unchanged. Let me briefly reiterate the three points. First, by keeping its warship grounded at Ren’ai Jiao for decades running, the Philippines has been violating China’s sovereignty and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea. We continue to demand that the Philippines tow away the warship illegally grounded at Ren’ai Jiao and restore Ren’ai Jiao’s state of hosting no personnel or facilities. Second, between now and when the warship is towed away, in a humanitarian spirit, China is willing to allow the Philippines to send living necessities to the personnel living on the warship if the Philippines informs China in advance and after on-site verification is conducted. China will monitor the entire resupply process. Third, if the Philippines were to attempt to build fixed facilities or permanent outpost, China will absolutely not accept it and will resolutely stop it in accordance with the law and regulations.

制定“南海行为准则”是落实《南海各方行为宣言》的重要举措，也是中国和东盟国家的重要共识。中国始终致力于同东盟国家加快推进磋商，争取早日达成“准则”，共同维护南海和平稳定。所谓“裁决”与“准则”毫无关系。菲方不要以所谓“裁决”给“准则”达成制造障碍。

China and ASEAN countries all agreed to formulate a Code of Conduct in the South China Sea (COC). This is part and parcel of implementing the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC). China is committed to working with ASEAN countries to accelerate the COC consultations for its early conclusion and keep the South China Sea peaceful and stable. The “award” has absolutely no relevance to the COC. The Philippines must not obstruct the COC process with the phony “award.”
