国防部：北京香山论坛感召力影响力进一步提升

MND: The Appeal and Influence of Beijing Xiangshan Forum Have Been Further Enhanced

9月25日下午，国防部举行例行记者会，国防部新闻发言人张晓刚大校答记者问。

记者：据报道，第十二届北京香山论坛近日在京成功举办，国内外舆论高度关注。请发言人进一步介绍有关情况。

Question: It is reported that the 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum was successfully held in Beijing recently and has attracted high attention from both domestic and foreign media. Could you please provide more details?

张晓刚：9月17日至19日，第十二届北京香山论坛成功举办，中央军委副主席张又侠出席欢迎晚宴并致辞，国防部长董军出席论坛开幕式并作主旨发言，国内外反应热烈、高度评价。本届论坛感召力影响力进一步提升，主要有3个特点：一是历史承载更加厚重，未来指向更加鲜明。今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年、联合国成立80周年、台湾光复80周年，特别是习近平主席郑重提出全球治理倡议，与会代表围绕应对世界变局、破解世界难题，为推动改革完善全球治理体系建言献策，汇聚以正道良策促进全球善治的正向力量。二是与会代表多元均衡，“香山精神”更有魅力。论坛秉持“平等、开放、包容、互鉴”理念，来自100余个国家、地区和国际组织官方代表、专家学者和各国观察员1800余人齐聚一堂，不分大国小国坦诚交流，大家不是固守立场的争执方、而是探寻共识的参与者，不是剑拔弩张的对手、而是倾听彼此的对话者。不少网友感言：这是只有在中国才会出现的画面，这样的和谐争鸣显得尤为珍贵。三是对话交流广泛深入，中国主张备受关注。论坛着眼战略引领性设置议题，研讨话题更具现实针对性，让各方真正论得起来、谈出实效；此外，首次举办高端对话采访活动、中国军队参加联合国维和行动情况介绍会，安排参观国防创新科技成果展等，与会代表从中感到中国军队越强大、世界和平越有保障。

Zhang Xiaogang: The 12th Beijing Xiangshan Forum was successfully held from September 17 to 19. General Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, attended and addressed the welcome dinner. Admiral Dong Jun, Minister of National Defense, attended the opening ceremony of the forum and made a keynote speech. The forum was warmly received and well spoken of both at home and abroad. The appeal and influence of this year’s forum have been further enhanced. There are three highlights.First, the forum carried more profound historical significance and showed a clearer vision for the future. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War, of the founding of the United Nations, and of the restoration of Taiwan. In particular, President Xi Jinping formally proposed the Global Governance Initiative. Participants at the forum, focusing on addressing global challenges and resolving pressing issues, contributed ideas and suggestions to improving the global governance system, and pooled positive forces to promote global governance through constructive approaches and measures. Second, the composition of participants was diverse and balanced, making the “Xiangshan Spirit” more appealing. Adhering to the concept of “equality, openness, inclusiveness and mutual learning”, over 1,800 attendees, including official representatives, experts, scholars and observers from more than 100 countries, regions and international organizations gathered together, engaging in candid exchanges regardless of the size of their respective nations. We did not stick to fixed positions, but sought common ground; we were not confrontational rivals, but sincere interlocutors who listened to each other. Many netizens commented that this could only be seen in China, and such intense yet harmonious discussions were particularly precious. Third, the dialogues and exchanges were extensive and in-depth, with China’s propositions attracting significant attention. The topics of the forum were set to provide strategic guidance and address realistic issues, so that participants could engage in meaningful discussions and achieve real results. Additionally, for the first time, the forum organized high-end interviews, hosted a briefing on China’s Armed Forces in UN Peacekeeping Operations, and arranged participants to visit an exhibition of innovations and achievements in national defense science and technology. Attendees felt that a stronger Chinese military means greater assurance for world peace.

昭昭正道，众行致远。中国军队愿同各方一道，继续加强战略沟通，深化军事互信，开展更高水平安全合作，为全球治理提供有力支撑，携手构建人类命运共同体。

A just journey with many companions gets far. The Chinese military is willing to work with all parties to further strengthen strategic communication, deepen military mutual trust, and carry out higher-level security cooperation, so as to provide strong support for global governance and jointly build a community with a shared future for humanity.
