北京,3月10日电 -- 3月9日,十三届全国人大五次会议解放军和武警部队代表团新闻发言人吴谦接受媒体采访时,对新冠肺炎疫情发生以来,中国军队参与开展抗疫国际合作情况进行了介绍总结。

BEIJING, March 10 -- Chinese Defense Spokesperson Senior Colonel Wu Qian, also spokesperson for the delegation of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the People’s Armed Police (PAP) Force to the fifth session of the 13th National People’s Congress (NPC), received an interview on March 9 in which he introduced and summarized the Chinese military’s participation in international anti-pandemic cooperation since COVID-19 broke out.

吴谦提到,2020年初,在中国抗疫斗争的关键时刻,许多外国防务部门和军队向中方伸出援手,巴基斯坦、白俄罗斯、柬埔寨等20多国防务部门和军队领导人致函慰问,特立尼达和多巴哥、蒙古国、新加坡、越南、老挝、缅甸、柬埔寨等国防务部门和军队紧急捐助防疫物资和款项,外国驻华使馆武官、外国在华留学生通过视频、信函等方式表达守望相助、患难与共的良好愿望。

Wu pointed out that in early 2020, when China was at the height of fighting the pandemic, the defense departments and militaries of many foreign countries lent a helping hand to China. The defense and military leaders of more than 20 countries, including Pakistan, Belarus and Cambodia, sent letters of support, and the defense and military authorities of countries like Trinidad and Tobago, Mongolia, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar and Cambodia donated anti-pandemic emergency supplies and funds. Besides, the military attachés of foreign embassies in Beijing as well as foreign students in China all expressed their support and best wishes through videos and letters.

据吴谦介绍,截至目前,为落实习主席关于将中国新冠疫苗作为全球公共产品的重要宣示,中国军队陆续向巴基斯坦、柬埔寨、蒙古国、赤道几内亚、突尼斯、黎巴嫩、匈牙利、埃塞俄比亚、莫桑比克、玻利维亚等30余国军队提供了新冠疫苗援助。中国军队通过提供防疫物资援助、派遣军队抗疫专家组、召开疫情防控经验视频会议等方式,与50多个国家军队开展了抗疫国际合作。中国军队在疫情中履行国际义务、提供公共安全产品的务实举措,得到了国际社会的高度认可和广泛欢迎。

Wu said, to implement Chinese President Xi Jinping’s important declaration on making China’s COVID-19 vaccines a global public good, the Chinese military has so far provided vaccine aid to the militaries of more than 30 countries, including Pakistan, Cambodia, Mongolia, Equatorial Guinea, Tunisia, Lebanon, Hungary, Ethiopia, Mozambique, and Bolivia. It has also carried out anti-pandemic cooperation with the militaries of over 50 countries, in the form of providing anti-pandemic supplies, sending military medical expert teams, and holding experience-sharing video meetings. By fulfilling its international obligations and providing public security products during the pandemic, the Chinese military’s pragmatic measures have been highly recognized and widely welcomed by the international community.

病毒没有国界,疫情不分种族,团结合作是战胜疫情最有力的武器。中国军队将继续加强与各国防务部门和军队的友好合作,继续为构建人类卫生健康共同体作出积极贡献,吴谦说。

The virus recognizes no borders and the pandemic hits all without differentiation. Solidarity and cooperation is the most powerful weapon to defeat them. The Chinese military will continue to strengthen the friendly cooperation with foreign defense departments and troops, and make positive contributions to building a community of common health for mankind, said Wu Qian.
