各位閣下，
女生們、先生們：
值此中國人民解放軍建軍94周年暨中國參加聯(lián)合國維和行動31周年之際，我謹向中方致以最良好的祝愿。
非常感謝中國在和平與安全領(lǐng)域?qū)β?lián)合國工作的支持，特別是為聯(lián)合國維和事業(yè)所作出的貢獻。目前中國共有近2500名維和軍人與維和警察參加8項聯(lián)合國維和任務(wù)，在馬里、剛果(金）、黎巴嫩和南蘇丹等重要而復雜的任務(wù)區(qū)作出了突出貢獻。作為聯(lián)合國安理會常任理事國和聯(lián)合國維和行動第二大出資國，中國在維和領(lǐng)域提供的多方面支持至關(guān)重要。我們特別感謝中國對執(zhí)行任務(wù)的維和人員給予的支持，推動落實“以行動促維和倡議”。維和人員的安全是我們的重中之重，他們在充滿挑戰(zhàn)的環(huán)境下執(zhí)行復雜的維和任務(wù)。感謝中國為確保維和人員安全給予的支持。當然，也感謝中國向維和人員提供疫苗。此外，我們對中國在保護平民、社區(qū)外聯(lián)以及維和醫(yī)療、工程等重要領(lǐng)域所作的貢獻表示贊賞。中國維和人員表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異，幫助聯(lián)合國提升了維和行動整體質(zhì)效。
值此重要時刻，我謹向在聯(lián)合國旗幟下服務(wù)期間犧牲的20名中國維和人員致敬，包括去年犧牲的兩名官兵。深切感謝他們?yōu)楹推绞聵I(yè)作出的犧牲與奉獻。最后，再次向中方致以節(jié)日的良好祝愿，期待中國與聯(lián)合國在維和領(lǐng)域繼續(xù)保持緊密的伙伴關(guān)系，為了和平共同努力。
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my best wishes on the occasion of the 94th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and the 31st anniversary of Chinese participation in UN peacekeeping operations.
We are very grateful for China’s support to the work of the United Nations in the field of peace and security, and in particular, its contribution to UN peacekeeping. With close to 2,500 women and men deployed in 8 peace operations, Chinese military and police personnel provided an outstanding contribution to peace efforts in important and complex situations such as Mali, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Lebanon and South Sudan. As a permanent member of the UN Security Council and the second financial contributor to the budget of peace operations, China’s support is essential and multifaceted. We are particularly grateful for China’s engagement to support peacekeepers in the field and to advance the Action for Peacekeeping initiative. Safety and security of peacekeepers is a priority for us as these women and men implement their complex mandate in challenging environments. We are grateful for China’s championing of the safety and security of the peacekeepers. And we are, of course, grateful for China’s support in the efforts to provide vaccination to peacekeepers. We also appreciate China’s commitment to the protection of civilians and to community outreach，as well as to key areas such as medicine and engineering. The performance of Chinese peacekeepers is highly commendable and it has contributed to high operational efficiency of our operations.
On this important occasion, I would also like to pay tribute to the 20 personnel from China who lost their lives while serving under the UN flag, including two who died last year. We are deeply grateful for the sacrifice and for the dedication to the cause of peace. Once again, I would like to address to you my best wishes for these important anniversaries, and I look forward to continuing the strong partnership between China and UN peacekeeping in the service of peace.
