吳謙：5月25日，中國國防部維和事務(wù)中心在北京舉辦國際維和人員日招待會，紀(jì)念第22個國際維和人員日。聯(lián)合國駐華機(jī)構(gòu)，聯(lián)合國維和行動主要出兵、出資國駐華使團(tuán)，紅十字國際委員會駐華代表處，以及中國外交部、國防部、公安部等單位和機(jī)構(gòu)代表參加招待會。

Wu Qian: On May 25th, the MND Peacekeeping Affairs Center held a reception in Beijing to mark the 22nd International Day of UN Peacekeepers. Officials from UN agencies in China, diplomatic missions of main troop and fund-contributing countries for UN peacekeeping operations, the representative office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) , as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of National Defense and Ministry of Public Security of China, attended the reception.

中國為和平而來，以實際行動維護(hù)世界和平，積極參加聯(lián)合國維和行動，是聯(lián)合國主要維和攤款國和會費國，是安理會常任理事國第一大出兵國。近年來，中國軍隊認(rèn)真踐行《聯(lián)合國憲章》宗旨和原則，先后赴20多個國家和地區(qū)參加聯(lián)合國維和行動，組建8000人規(guī)模維和待命部隊，累計派出維和官兵5萬余人次，我軍現(xiàn)有1700余名維和官兵正在南蘇丹、黎巴嫩、阿卜耶伊等聯(lián)合國6個維和任務(wù)區(qū)執(zhí)行任務(wù)，為維護(hù)世界和平、促進(jìn)共同發(fā)展作出積極貢獻(xiàn)。

China upholds peace and honors our commitment with real actions. We have actively participated in UN peacekeeping operations. China is a main contributor to both UN peacekeeping assessments and the UN’s regular budget, and the largest troop-contributing country among the permanent members of the UN Security Council. In recent years, the PLA has earnestly implemented the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, built an 8,000-strong standby peacekeeping force, and sent more than 50,000 peacekeepers to UN peacekeeping missions in over 20 countries and regions. As we speak, over 1,700 PLA peacekeepers are performing their duties in 6 mission areas, including South Sudan, Lebanon and the Abyei Area, making positive contributions to world peace and common development.

進(jìn)入新時代，中國軍隊全面落實習(xí)近平主席出席聯(lián)合國維和峰會時的承諾，以服務(wù)構(gòu)建人類命運共同體為目標(biāo)，加大對聯(lián)合國維和行動的支持和參與力度，為沖突地區(qū)實現(xiàn)和平發(fā)展帶去更多信心和希望。事實證明，中國軍隊已成為聯(lián)合國維和行動的關(guān)鍵因素和關(guān)鍵力量，為世界和平與發(fā)展注入更多正能量。

In the new era, the Chinese military will thoroughly deliver on the pledges announced by President Xi Jinping during the UN Leaders’ Summit on Peacekeeping. Guided by the goal of building a community with a shared future for mankind, we will step up our support for and participation in UN peacekeeping operations to bring greater confidence in and hope of peace and development to conflict zones. Facts show that the PLA has become a critical element and key force in the UN peacekeeping operations and will bring more positive energy to world peace and development.
