國防部：更多“生命之舟”提供高質量公共安全產品

MND: Providing High-Quality Public Security Goods with More “Arks of Life”

8月28日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞發言人張曉剛大校答記者問。

記者：2010年8月，“和平方舟”號醫院船首次走出國門，為到訪國家提供醫療服務。今年8月也是醫院船執行“和諧使命”15周年，發言人能否介紹近年取得的成就。

Question:  PLAN hospital ship Ark Peace made its maiden overseas voyage in August 2010, and provided medical service to the countries it visited. We just celebrated the 15th anniversary of Mission Harmony conducted by PLANS Ark Peace this August. Could you brief us on the hospital ship’s achievements in recent years?

張曉剛：2010年以來，“和平方舟”號醫院船高揚仁愛之帆，先后10次執行“和諧使命”任務，航程32萬余海里，遍及3大洋6大洲，到訪52個國家和地區，提供37萬余人次醫療服務，用大愛仁心播撒“希望火種”，與到訪國民眾結下深厚情誼。今后，中國海軍將繼續執行“和諧使命”任務，用更多的“生命之舟”提供高質量公共安全產品，續寫踐行全球安全倡議、服務構建海洋命運共同體的溫暖篇章。

Zhang Xiaogang:  With the spirit of benevolence, PLAN hospital ship Ark Peace has completed 10 iterations of Mission Harmony since 2010. It has sailed over 320,000 nautical miles and visited 52 countries, spanning three oceans and six continents. The ship has provided medical service to more than 370,000 people. With great love and compassion, it has sown the “seed of hope” and forged deep bonds with the peoples of the countries it visited. Going forward, the PLA Navy will continue to carry out Mission Harmony, provide high-quality public security goods with more “arks of life”, and write a heart-warming chapter on implementing the Global Security Initiative and building a maritime community of a shared future.
