当前朝鲜半岛局势再度紧张,中方对此高度关注。作为负责任大国,中方一贯按照事情本身的是非曲直决定自身立场,不偏袒任何一方。中方主张,当务之急是防止紧张局势升级,决不能再做火上浇油的事情,有关方面应保持冷静克制,推动事态重新回到对话谈判的轨道上来。正如大家所看到的,朝韩交火事件发生以来,中方为防止事态升级恶化做出了一系列努力,与有关各方进行了密切沟通和协调,敦促各方务必保持冷静克制,通过对话协商解决问题,共同维护朝鲜半岛的和平稳定。中方还建议于12月上旬在北京举行六方会谈团长紧急磋商,希望这一磋商有助于缓和当前紧张局势,为重启六方会谈创造条件。我们将继续做出努力,推动各方共同维护半岛和东北亚地区的和平稳定。
Tension has once again risen on the Korean Peninsula, and China is highly concerned about the current situation. As a big responsible country, China decides its position based on the merits of each case and does not seek to protect any side. China is of the view that the most pressing task now is to prevent any escalation of the tension, and nothing should be done to inflame the situation. The parties concerned should keep calm and exercise restraint, and work to bring the situation back onto the track of dialogue and negotiation. As you have noticed, since the exchange of fire between the DPRK and the ROK, the Chinese side has made a series of efforts to prevent the situation from escalating and worsening. We have stayed in close communication and coordination with relevant parties and urged various parties to maintain calm and restraint by all means, address the issues through dialogue and consultation and jointly safeguard peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. We have proposed to hold emergency consultations among the heads of delegation to the Six-Party Talks in Beijing in early December in the hope that the consultations will help ease the current tension and create conditions for the resumption of the Six-Party Talks. We will make continued efforts to encourage all parties to work together to maintain peace and stability on the Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.
第四,尊重多样性是前提。亚太地区多样性和复杂性突出,各国政治经济体制、历史文化背景和社会发展模式各异,在长期历史进程中形成了多元发展、齐头并进的局面,这既是亚太的特色和优势,也是亚太长期保持活力的原因所在。我们要继续坚持这一传统,发扬开放包容、求同存异、互谅互让的精神,加强互学互鉴,扩大人文交流,把亚太建成一个文化多元、和睦共存的大家庭。
Fourth, respect for diversity is the premise. Diversity and complexity are a distinctive feature of the Asia Pacific. Countries in this region have diverse political and economic systems, histories, cultures and social development models, which have grown side by side over the long years of history. Diversity is a source of the unique strength and enduring vitality for the Asia Pacific. We need to uphold this tradition, carry forward the spirit of openness, inclusiveness, seeking common ground while reserving differences, mutual understanding and mutual accommodation, and strengthen mutual learning and people-to-people and cultural exchanges, so as to build the Asia Pacific into a community in which diverse nations and cultures live in peace and friendship.
女士们,先生们,
Ladies and Gentlemen,

The year 2011 will be the first year of the second decade of this century. It will be a year for us to build on past achievements and strive for new progress. For the Asia Pacific and the world, 2011 will be an important year to promote economic recovery and development, transform development patterns in the post-crisis era, and deepen the reform of the international system to meet global challenges. For China, it will be the first year of the 12th Five-Year Plan period. We will enter a critical era in our endeavor to deepen reform and opening up and accelerate the transformation of the economic development pattern.

China is willing to work with other Asia-Pacific countries to enhance cooperation, meet the challenges and promote world peace and development together. To this end, I believe we should make concerted efforts in the following areas:
