当前，世界进入新的动荡变革期，面临关键抉择。是任由世界动荡不安，还是推动其重回和平发展的正道？我想到俄罗斯作家车尔尼雪夫斯基的著作《怎么办？》，书中主人公的坚强意志和奋斗激情，正是当前我们所需要的精神力量。时代的风浪越大，我们越要勇立潮头，以坚韧不拔之志、敢为人先之勇、识变应变之谋，把金砖打造成促进“全球南方”团结合作的主要渠道、推动全球治理变革的先锋力量。

As the world enters a new period defined by turbulence and transformation, we are confronted with pivotal choices that will shape our future. Should we allow the world to descend into the abyss of disorder and chaos, or should we strive to steer it back on the path of peace and development? This reminds me of a novel by Nikolay Chernyshevsky entitled What Is to Be Done? The protagonist’s unwavering determination and passionate drive are exactly the kind of willpower we need today. The more tumultuous our times become, the more we must stand firm at the forefront, exhibiting tenacity, demonstrating the audacity to pioneer and displaying the wisdom to adapt. We must work together to build BRICS into a primary channel for strengthening solidarity and cooperation among Global South nations and a vanguard for advancing global governance reform.

郭嘉昆：当今世界进入新的动荡变革期，地缘冲突和热点问题交织叠加，全球冲突数量达到二战结束以来新高。面对共同挑战，习近平主席提出的共同、综合、合作、可持续安全观为我们指明了解决问题之道。中方始终认为，武力不是解决问题的办法，兵戎相见只会增添新的仇恨。只有坚持主权平等、公平正义、团结协作、行动导向，才能携手建设一个共同安全、普遍安全的世界。

Guo Jiakun: The world is in a new period of turbulence and transformation and faces the compounded impact of geopolitical conflicts and hotspot issues. The number of global conflicts has reached a new high since the end of World War II. Confronted with challenges facing all countries, President Xi Jinping put forward the vision of common, comprehensive, cooperative and sustainable security, which points the way forward. China remains of the view that military force is not the solution and armed conflicts will only breed new hatred. Only by upholding sovereign equality, fairness and justice, solidarity and coordination, and an action-oriented approach, can countries jointly build a world of common security for all.

当前，国际形势继续发生深刻变化，世界进入新的动荡变革期，和平与发展面临许多新的风险挑战。在这样的背景下，习近平主席着眼应对世界变局、破解紧迫难题，郑重提出全球治理倡议，强调奉行主权平等、遵守国际法治、践行多边主义、倡导以人为本、注重行动导向。这具有很强的现实针对性，与东亚峰会的主旨高度契合。中方愿同各方坚守东亚峰会的初心，围绕全球治理倡议积极行动，共同努力为地区和平与发展注入更多正能量。

At present, the international landscape continues to undergo profound changes. The world is in a new period of turbulence and transformation, with new risks and challenges facing peace and development. Against that background, President Xi Jinping has formally put forward the Global Governance Initiative (GGI) to address changes in the world and tackle pressing problems, highlighting the imperative of adhering to sovereign equality, abiding by international rule of law, practicing multilateralism, advocating the people-centered approach and focusing on taking real actions. This is very relevant in today’s world, and is fully consistent with the EAS founding mission. China will work with all parties to ensure that this mission is observed, and take vigorous actions to promote the GGI to boost peace and development of our region.

今年是世界反法西斯战争胜利和联合国成立80周年，是铭记历史、共创未来的重要时刻。80年前，两次世界大战的浩劫让国际社会痛定思痛，联合国应运而生，全球治理掀开新的一页。80年后，和平、发展、合作、共赢的时代潮流没有变，但冷战思维、霸权主义、保护主义阴霾不散，新威胁新挑战有增无减，世界进入新的动荡变革期，全球治理走到新的十字路口。

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War and the founding of the United Nations. It is a milestone prompting us to remember the past and create a better future together. Eighty years ago, the international community learned profound lessons from the scourge of two world wars and founded the United Nations, thus writing a new page in global governance. Eighty years later, while the historical trends of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit remain unchanged, the Cold War mentality, hegemonism and protectionism continue to haunt the world. New threats and challenges have been only increasing. The world has found itself in a new period of turbulence and transformation. Global governance has come to a new crossroads.
