主席先生，
秘書長先生，
Mr. President,
Mr. Secretary-General,
中方支持南非倡議召開“聯合國同非盟合作”安理會高級別會議，歡迎拉馬福薩總統主持會議，感謝古特雷斯秘書長和法基主席的通報。
China supports South Africa’s initiative of convening this high-level debate. We welcome President Ramaphosa’s chairing of the debate and thank Secretary-General Guterres and Chairperson Faki for their briefings.
新冠肺炎疫情大流行加劇全球性危機,深刻影響非洲國家政治、經濟和社會發展，非洲和平與安全形勢面臨一系列新挑戰。聯合國應當積極采取舉措，幫助非洲渡過難關。中方提出四點建議。
The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved into and exacerbated the global crises, exerting profound political, economic and social impacts on African countries, and posing a litany of new challenges to peace and security of the continent. The United Nations is duty-bound to take active measures to help Africa weather the storm. China proposes that efforts be made in the following four areas:
第一，以團結抗疫為重點，支持非洲人民筑牢健康安全防線。聯合國和世界衛生組織應發揮統籌協調作用，調動全球資源，支持非盟制定的全非抗疫戰略，幫助非洲獲得防疫物資、藥品、診療經驗、技術和資金，扎緊國際聯防聯控的籬笆。要推動將新冠疫苗作為全球公共產品，積極促進疫苗在非洲國家的可及性和可負擔性。世界糧食計劃署、聯合國婦女署、兒基會等要用好各自渠道，破解非洲交通瓶頸，打通物資、藥品和疫苗配送“最后一公里”，讓貧困和偏遠地區人民和脆弱群體得到及時、有效醫治。要著眼長遠，支持非洲強化公共衛生防控體系，提升應對重大傳染性疾病能力，構建人類衛生健康共同體。
First, focusing on a united fight against COVID-19 to help bolster the African people’s health and safety defenses. We need to leverage the UN and the WHO’s coordinating role in mobilizing global resources to support the African Union’s Africa Joint Continental Strategy for COVID-19 Outbreak, and broaden Africa’s access to medical supplies, medicines, therapeutics, technologies and capital. By helping Africa, we will shore up the international efforts against the virus. Vaccines should be a global public good and made accessible and affordable for African countries.
UN agencies such as the World Food Programme (WFP), UN Women and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) can all exert their respective roles to help Africa break the transport bottlenecks, ensure last mile delivery of supplies, medicines and vaccines so that vulnerable groups and people in impoverished and far-flung areas can receive timely and effective medical treatment. It is important to take a long-term view, and support Africa’s efforts to build stronger public health prevention and control systems and better preparedness against major infectious diseases, with a view to building a global community of health for all.
第二，以“消弭非洲槍聲”為目標，支持非洲人民建設和平穩定家園。安理會百分之七十議題涉及非洲。沒有非洲穩定，就難言世界和平。聯合國與非盟要密切配合，協調推進非盟“消弭非洲槍聲”倡議和古特雷斯秘書長全球停火倡議，推動沖突各方聚焦抗疫，鑄劍為犁，停火止暴。要繼續落實好《聯合國—非盟關于深化和平與安全伙伴關系聯合框架文件》，加強在預防和調解沖突、實現持續和平等領域合作。進一步完善安理會同非盟和平安全理事會年度磋商機制，提升雙方合作水平。安理會要負起責任，幫助非洲提升自主維和、維穩和反恐能力，加快非盟常備軍、危機應對快速反應部隊和早期預警機制建設，支持為非盟和平與安全行動提供可持續、可預測的財政支持。
Second, working toward the goal of “Silencing the Guns” to help restore peace and stability for the African people. Seventy percent of the Security Council agenda items are about Africa. Without stability in Africa, world peace would remain elusive. It is thus important that the UN and the AU work closely together to advance the AU’s “Silencing the Guns in Africa” initiative and Secretary-General Guterres’s appeal for a global ceasefire, and to encourage warring parties to focus on the pandemic, beat swords into plowshares and stop fighting and violence.
The Joint UN-AU Framework for Enhanced Partnership in Peace and Security must be earnestly implemented, and cooperation strengthened to prevent and mediate conflicts and achieve enduring peace. The UN Security Council and the AU Peace and Security Council need to build on their annual consultative meeting mechanism to bring their cooperation to a new level.
On its part, the Security Council needs to act on its responsibility of helping Africa by enhancing its independent capabilities on peacekeeping, stability and counter-terrorism, accelerating the establishment of the African Standby Force, the rapid response forces and an early-warning mechanism, and supporting sustainable and predictable financing for the AU’s peace and security operations.
第三，以2030年可持續發展議程為抓手，支持非洲人民開辟普遍繁榮愿景。聯合國和非盟應按照雙方簽署的《<2063年議程>和<2030年可持續發展議程>執行框架》，將消除貧困作為首要目標，在農業、教育、衛生、基建等領域開展更緊密合作，支持非洲自貿區建設，緩解疫情對經濟的沖擊，幫助改善民生。發達國家應該在官方發展援助、減免債務、技術轉讓等方面邁出更多更實步伐。國際金融機構應該把更多資源和項目投向世界富有活力和潛力的非洲大陸，這將是對人類未來的投資。
Third, delivering on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to help bring broad prosperity to the African people. As set out in the Framework on Implementation of Agenda 2063 and Agenda 2030, the UN and the AU will prioritize poverty eradication, work more closely in areas including agriculture, education, health and infrastructure, and support the African Continental Free Trade Area, mitigate the economic fallout from COVID-19 and improve people’s well-being.
Developed countries should take more concrete steps on Official Development Assistance, debt relief and technological transfer. International financial institutions need to channel more resources and projects to Africa, which is a vibrant and promising continent, as an investment in the future of humankind.
第四，以公平正義為要旨，支持非洲人民共享全球治理成果。全球治理體系需要完善和加強，克服權利不公、機會不公和規則不公的現象。聯合國應當在規則制定、資源分配、職員分布等方面進一步反映非洲的需求和利益，提升非洲國家的代表性和發言權，讓非洲人民成為全球治理的平等參與者和重要貢獻者。最了解非洲情況的是非洲國家，最能解決非洲問題的是非洲人民。聯合國在處理非洲問題時，應當尊重非洲人民的意愿，發揮非盟等區域和次區域組織的作用，鼓勵和支持來自非洲的內生解決方案。
Fourth, promoting fairness and justice to help the African people benefit from the progress of global governance. The global governance system needs to be improved and updated to mitigate inequalities in rights, opportunities and rules. The UN must do more to meet Africa’s needs and accommodate its interests in rules-making, resource allocation and staffing. The representation and voice of African countries should be raised. The African people must be involved as equal participants and important contributors to global governance. After all, no one understands Africa better than African countries themselves; no one offers better solutions to African issues than the African people themselves. The UN, in handling Africa-related issues, needs to respect the will of the African people, enlist the AU and other regional and sub-regional organizations in Africa, and encourage and support Africa’s own initiatives and solutions.
主席先生，
Mr. President,
中國一直是非洲國家的真朋友、同路人，始終秉持真實親誠理念和正確義利觀，努力幫助非洲人民實現非洲發展振興的偉大夢想。
China stands as a true friend of African countries and a partner with common purpose. Guided by the principle of sincerity, real results, amity and good faith, China has put the greater good of African countries above its own interests. We are always ready to play a part as the African people pursue the great dream of development and rejuvenation of their continent.
——為了支持非洲抗擊疫情，習近平主席倡議同非洲國家領導人共同召開中非團結抗疫特別峰會，一致決定加強團結抗疫共同行動，樹立了國際抗疫合作的典范。中國已派出8支醫療專家組和醫療隊赴16個非洲國家分享抗疫經驗，同42個非洲國家的46個醫院建立對口合作機制，向幾乎所有非洲國家都提供了急需的抗疫物資援助，并將于年內開工援建非洲疾控中心總部。
First, to support Africa’s COVID-19 response, an Extraordinary China-Africa Summit on Solidarity Against COVID-19 has been held under President Xi Jinping’s initiative. The participating leaders of China and Africa have decided to strengthen solidarity and work in unity to defeat the virus. Together, we have set a fine example for international cooperation against COVID-19. China has sent eight teams of medical experts or professionals to share COVID-control experience in 16 African countries. China has set up pairing-up schemes for 46 hospitals in 42 African countries, and has shipped emergency supplies to almost all countries on the continent. The construction of Africa CDC headquarters, a project for which we are glad to provide assistance, will start within this year.
——為了維護非洲和平安全，中國積極落實向非盟提供1億美元無償軍事援助，通過多雙邊渠道向薩赫勒五國聯合部隊提供無償軍援。此時此刻，2100多名中國維和人員正在6項聯合國在非洲維和行動中執行任務，中國—聯合國和平發展基金始終把支持非洲和平安全能力建設作為重點，共同為“消弭非洲槍聲”作出貢獻。
Second, to uphold Africa’s peace and security, China is following through on its pledged free military assistance worth US$ 100 million to the AU and has extended military aid to the Joint Force of the G5 for the Sahel via bilateral and multilateral channels. As we speak, more than 2,100 Chinese peacekeepers are serving in six UN peacekeeping operations in Africa. At the Peace and Development Trust Fund between the UN and China, Africa’s capacity building on peace and security has always been a prime task, as part of the joint efforts for “Silencing the Guns in Africa”.
——為了促進非洲繁榮發展，中國同非洲共同制訂并相繼實施“十大合作計劃”、“八大行動”，幫助非洲修建超過6000公里鐵路、6000公里公路，建設近20個港口和80多個大型電力設施。中國同非洲12國簽署緩債協議，減免15國2020年底到期無息貸款。同非洲拓展數字經濟、智慧城市、清潔能源、5G等新業態合作，促進中非共建“一帶一路”高質量發展。
Third, to promote Africa’s prosperity and development, China has worked with Africa to formulate and implement the ten cooperation plans and the eight major initiatives. Across Africa, China has helped with the construction of over 6,000 kilometers of railways, more than 6,000 kilometers of roads, nearly 20 ports and 80 plus large-scale power plants. China has signed agreements with 12 African countries on debt service suspension, and has canceled interest-free loans owed by 15 African countries due to mature by the end of 2020. China and Africa have been stepping up cooperation in emerging areas such as the digital economy, smart cities, clean energy and 5G. The two sides are also pursuing high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
中國將繼續為非洲人民擁抱和平提供鼎力支持，為非洲國家趕上現代化的列車助一臂之力，繼續在國際舞臺為非洲國家仗義執言。中方愿同非洲攜手前行，共同構建更加緊密的中非命運共同體！
China will continue to give its best support to the African people in their pursuit of peace. We are glad to extend a helping hand when African countries are moving toward modernization. China will continue to speak up for Africa on the international stage. In sum, China is prepared to be a partner of Africa and jointly build an even stronger China-Africa community with a shared future.
謝謝。
Thank you.
