國防部：中方堅持和平利用太空

Ministry of National Defense: China Upholds Peaceful Utilization of Space

4月19日晚上，國防部舉行專題記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發言人吳謙大校答記者問。

記者：軍事航天部隊擔負什么任務，是否說明中國的太空政策發生變化？

Question: What tasks will the Aerospace Force undertake? Does this imply any changes to China’s space policy?

吳謙：太空是人類共同的財富。太空安全是國家建設和社會發展的戰略保障。推進軍事航天部隊建設，對提高安全進出和開放利用太空能力、增強太空危機管控和綜合治理效能、更好和平利用太空具有重要意義。中方的太空政策清晰明確，我們一向堅持和平利用太空，愿同所有和平利用太空的國家一道，加強交流、深化合作、為維護太空持久和平與共同安全作出貢獻。

Wu Qian: Space is a shared asset of humanity. Space security provides strategic assurance for national and social development. Building the Aerospace Force is of great significance to strengthening the capacity to safely enter, exit and openly use space, enhancing crisis management and the efficacy of comprehensive governance in space and promoting peaceful utilization of space. China’s space policy is clear. We are committed to peaceful utilization of space and stand ready to work with all countries with the same commitment to strengthen exchanges, deepen cooperation and contribute to lasting peace and common security in space.
