Wang Yi said that at the historical point marking the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia and at a crucial time of major changes rarely seen in a century, President Xi Jinping’s visit to Russia inherits the past and ushers in the future, having a far-reaching impact. During the visit, President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin made in-depth plans for all-round cooperation between the two countries, leading China-Russia relations into a new era. At the SPIEF, President Xi Jinping made incisive statement concerning sustainable development, promoting international cooperation to embark on a new journey. This visit released a clear signal that the consensus on deepening mutual trust and coordination between the two countries is unbreakable and that China’s belief in mutual benefit and win-win results is unshakable, which adds stability to major country relations, injects new vitality into global development, and adds positive force to the international community.
不到3天时间里，习近平主席辗转莫斯科、圣彼得堡两地，出席近20场活动，政经文相济，双多边兼顾，叙友谊、聚共识、促合作，取得丰硕成果。国内外舆论高度关注，认为中国作为负责任的大国，在对外交往中讲信修睦、弘义融利，在国际社会深得人心、广获支持。
In less than 3 days, President Xi Jinping visited Moscow and St. Petersburg and attended nearly 20 events, covering both bilateral and multilateral fields such as politics, economy and culture. Fruitful results have been yielded in friendship enhancement, consensus gathering and cooperation promotion. The public at home and abroad is highly concerned about this visit, holding that as a responsible major country, China upholds mutual trust, harmony, and common interests in foreign exchanges, and has won strong and wide support in the international community.
一、发挥元首引领作用，开启中俄关系新时代
1. Give play to the leading role of the heads of state and open a new era of China-Russia relations
王毅说，得益于两国元首密切交往和战略引领，中俄关系近年取得长足发展，进入历史最好时期。此访是习近平主席担任中国国家主席以来第八次到访俄罗斯，也是连任国家主席后首次对俄罗斯进行国事访问，受到普京总统隆重热情接待。除大小范围正式会谈，两国元首还在圣彼得堡长时间晤谈，在高度信任、亲密友好的气氛中，就双边关系和国际形势的全局性、长期性、战略性问题充分交换意见。在见证两国历史情谊的莫斯科大剧院，习近平主席同普京总统一道出席中俄建交70周年纪念大会并发表重要讲话，回顾历史总结经验，面向未来规划蓝图。两国元首签署联合声明，宣布发展中俄新时代全面战略协作伙伴关系，实现两国关系与时俱进、提质升级，成为此访最重要的政治成果。习近平主席从战略维度和宏观角度把握中俄关系定位和未来发展，强调要以互信为基石，筑牢彼此战略依托；要深化利益交融，并肩实现同步振兴；要促进民心相通，夯实世代友好基础；要更加担当有为，维护世界和平安宁。这些重要主张得到普京总统完全赞同。两国元首的政治共识将推动中俄关系大踏步迈入新时代，在更高水平实现更大发展。“交得其道，千里同好”。中俄关系经过70年风云变幻考验，已成功走出一条正确的大国、邻国相处之道，愈加成熟、稳定、坚韧，不断展现新气象新风貌，树立了相互尊重、公平正义、合作共赢的新型国际关系典范。
Wang Yi said that thanks to the close contacts and strategic leadership of the two heads of state, China-Russia relations have made great progress in recent years and entered the best period in history. It is President Xi Jinping’s eighth visit to Russia since he was elected Chinese president, and his first state visit following his re-election as Chinese president, which received warm welcome from President Vladimir Putin. In addition to the formal talks of different sizes, the two heads of state also met in St. Petersburg for a long talk in which they had full exchange of views on the overall, long-term and strategic issues of bilateral relations and the international situation in a highly trusted, intimate and friendly atmosphere. At the Bolshoi Theatre of Russia that witnesses the long-standing friendship between China and Russia, President Xi Jinping, together with President Vladimir Putin, attended and addressed a gathering marking the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. In the speech, Xi Jinping reviewed the history, summarized experience, and drew a blueprint for the future. The two heads of state signed a joint statement, announcing to develop a comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era to promote the bilateral relations to keep pace with the times and advance the upgrading of bilateral relations to a higher level. The joint statement is the most important political achievement during the visit. President Xi Jinping viewed the position and future development of China-Russia relations from a strategic and macro perspective. He stressed that we should build strategic support for each other based on mutual trust; we should deepen the convergence of interests to realize common revitalization; we should promote people-to-people bonds to enhance the foundation of the ever-lasting friendship; and we should be more responsible for safeguarding world peace. These important propositions received complete agreement from President Vladimir Putin. The political consensus reached by the two heads of state will lead China-Russia relations into a new era to realize greater development at a higher level. If countries have the same views on cooperation, then their relations can be well maintained despite the distance. The past 70 years have witnessed China and Russia, as major and neighboring countries in the world, succeeded in exploring a right way to get along with each other. And the relations between China and Russia are becoming increasingly mature, stable and resilient, presenting new atmosphere and new features, and setting a paradigm for building a new type of international relations featuring mutual respect, fairness, justice, and win-win cooperation.
二、巩固政治互信优势，提升中俄协作水平
2. Consolidate the advantages of political mutual trust and lift the level of China-Russia coordination
在当今大国关系中，中俄关系体现出了最高水平的相互信任和战略协作，成为维护世界和平安全的中流砥柱。当前世界格局加速演变，单边霸凌行径横行，中俄面临的外部风险和共同挑战上升。习近平主席洞观天下，强调无论过去、现在还是将来，中俄都是搬不走的好邻居、拆不散的真伙伴；双方要以邻为伴，守望相助，更加紧密、坚定地站在一起。普京总统表示，国际形势越是复杂多变，俄中两国越要巩固和深化政治互信，加强在国际事务中的协调协作；我们不能满足已取得的成就，还要把两国关系发展得更好。双方一致同意，要深化政治互信，加强战略沟通，加大相互支持，牢牢把握中俄关系向前发展的战略方向；要秉持公平正义，坚持责任道义，体现担当仗义，坚定捍卫以联合国为核心、以国际法为基础的国际体系。两国元首就重大国际和地区问题深入对表，并签署关于加强全球战略稳定的联合声明，发出中俄在战略安全领域共同应对挑战、在地区安全热点问题上加强战略协作、推动世界多极化和国际关系民主化的一致声音，彰显两国关系的高水平和两国合作的特殊性、战略性、全球性。事实证明，中俄加强团结协作是着眼双方长治久安和发展振兴作出的战略抉择，是保持全球战略稳定和国际力量对比均衡的现实需要，符合两国和国际社会根本利益，不针对第三方，也绝不受第三方挑拨和干扰，势头不可阻挡，作用不可替代，前景不可限量。
In today’s relations with major countries, China-Russia relations feature the highest degree of mutual trust and the highest level of strategic coordination, thus making a key contribution to preserving world peace and stability. In today’s world of rapid changes, mounting unilateralism and hegemony, China and Russia face increasing external risks and common challenges from outside. From a global perspective, President Xi Jinping stressed that China and Russia are good neighbors that cannot be moved away and true partners that cannot be separated, as they were before and will be in the future. The two sides should stick together as good neighbors and render each other even stronger support as well as stand together more closely and firmly. President Vladimir Putin expressed that the more complex and volatile the international situation is, the more Russia and China should consolidate and deepen political mutual trust, and enhance coordination and cooperation in international affairs. The two countries should not be complacent about what they have achieved, but be dedicated to bettering their bilateral relations. The two sides agreed to deepen political mutual trust, strengthen strategic communication, increase mutual support, and firmly grasp the strategic direction of the development of China-Russia relations. China and Russia should uphold fairness and justice, the morality of responsibility, embody the righteousness, and firmly defend the international system with the United Nations (UN) as the core and international law as the foundation. The two heads of state had an in-depth exchange of views on major international and regional issues and signed a joint statement on strengthening global strategic stability, sending the world a strong message of China and Russia to jointly address challenges in the field of strategic security, strengthen strategic coordination on regional security hotspot issues, and promote multi-polarization and democratization of international relations, highlighting the high level of the bilateral relations and the special, strategic and global feature of the bilateral cooperation. Facts have proved that strengthening solidarity and coordination between China and Russia is a strategic choice for the long-term stability, development and revitalization of the two sides. It is a realistic need to maintain global strategic stability and a balanced international force. It is in line with the fundamental interests of the two countries and the international community. It is does not target any third party, nor will it be provoked or interfered by any third party. Strengthening solidarity and coordination is unstoppable, and its role is irreplaceable, and its prospects are limitless.
三、弘扬睦邻友好传统，拉紧中俄利益纽带
3. Carry forward the tradition of good-neighborliness and friendship, and tighten the bond of interests between China and Russia
习近平主席同普京总统、梅德韦杰夫总理全面规划中俄务实友好合作，谋划顶层设计，勾勒具体部署，同意本着开拓创新、互利共赢精神，进一步推动两国发展战略紧密对接、发展利益深层融合、民心民意亲密交融。双方将继续开展共建“一带一路”同欧亚经济联盟对接，相互支持共建“一带一路”倡议和大欧亚伙伴关系倡议，协同促进地区一体化和区域经济融合发展。双方将持续推进战略性大项目，深挖新兴领域合作潜力，发挥地方经济互补优势，实现经贸合作提质增量，推动双边贸易额向2000亿美元迈进。两国元首共同参观长城汽车图拉州工厂下线汽车展，在中俄能源商务论坛上就深化能源合作提出指导性意见，年内还将通过视频连线见证中俄东线天然气管道这一世纪工程的竣工通气仪式。双方商定2020至2021年举办中俄科技创新年，联合提升自主研发能力。两国元首还亲力亲为厚植世代友好的民意根基。继今年4月见证清华大学向普京总统授予名誉博士学位后，习近平主席此次访俄期间接受了普京总统母校圣彼得堡国立大学名誉博士学位，书写中俄元首交往和人文教育交流又一佳话。两国元首出席莫斯科动物园熊猫馆开馆仪式，向俄罗斯人民隆重推出友谊使者，成为庆祝中俄建交70周年系列活动一大亮点。两国元首还共同见证了经贸、能源、科技、航天、农业、教育等广泛领域近30份双边合作文件的签署，显示全方位、深层次、多领域的中俄互利合作格局正在形成，将更好造福两国和两国人民。
President Xi Jinping, together with President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, comprehensively projected China-Russia practical and friendly cooperation, planned top-level design, outlined specific arrangements, and agreed to further promote the alignment of the two countries’ development strategies, and deepen the integration of their development interests and people-to-people exchanges in the spirit of pioneering innovation, mutual benefit and win-win outcomes. The two sides will continue to align the Belt and Road Initiative and the Eurasian Economic Union, and support each other in jointly building the Belt and Road Initiative and the initiative to forge a greater Eurasian partnership, in a bid to jointly promote regional integration and regional economic integrated development. The two sides will continue to promote major strategic projects, tap into the potential for cooperation in emerging fields, give play to the complementary advantages of local economies, and therefore upgrade economic and trade cooperation so that it will improve in both quality and quantity. Both sides will promote two-way trade to reach 200 billion US dollars. The two heads of state together visited an exhibition of cars rolled off from Great Wall Motors’ plant in Russia’s Tula, and proposed guiding opinions on the China-Russia Energy Business Forum to deepen energy cooperation. In this year, the two heads of state will also witness by video the completion and operation ceremony of the east-route of the China-Russia natural gas pipeline, known as “a project of the century”. The two sides agreed to hold the China-Russia year of scientific and technological innovation from 2020 to 2021, in a bid to jointly improve their independent research and development capabilities. The two heads of state also consolidated in person the public opinion foundation of the everlasting friendship between the two peoples. After witnessing Tsinghua University’s award of an honorary doctorate to President Vladimir Putin in this April, President Xi Jinping, during his visit to Russia, accepted an honorary doctorate from St. Petersburg State University, President Vladimir Putin’s alma mater, which wrote another episode of exchanges between Chinese and Russian heads of state, as well as in the fields of people-to-people exchanges and education. The two heads of state attended the opening ceremony of the panda house in the Moscow Zoo and introduced the two pandas as the messengers of friendship to the Russian people, which became a highlight of the series of activities celebrating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Russia. The two heads of state also witnessed the signing of nearly 30 bilateral cooperation documents in a wide range of fields such as economy and trade, energy, science and technology, aerospace, agriculture and education, demonstrating that the landscape of the comprehensive and multi-tiered China-Russia mutually beneficial cooperation that covers various fields gradually comes into being and will better benefit the two countries and the two peoples.
四、阐释发展合作主张，展现中国责任担当
4. Expound on the proposal of cooperation on development, and show China’s responsibility
圣彼得堡国际经济论坛是各方共商世界经济发展的重要平台。本届论坛以“打造可持续发展议程”为主题，具有重要现实意义。习近平主席指出，可持续发展是破解当前全球性问题的“金钥匙”，是各方最大利益契合点和最佳合作切入点。习近平主席围绕联合国2030年可持续发展议程明确的经济增长、社会发展、环境保护三大任务，系统阐述加强国际发展合作的倡议主张，呼吁一要坚持共商共建共享，合力打造开放多元的世界经济；二要坚持以人为本，努力建设普惠包容的幸福社会；三要坚持绿色发展，致力构建人与自然和谐共处的美丽家园。习近平主席强调，中国将不断扩大对外开放，维护多边贸易体制，在平等和相互尊重基础上开展贸易合作；愿同各国分享包括5G技术在内的最新科研成果，就减贫、社保等课题加强交流合作；将在对外合作中更加注重环保和生态文明，携手应对全球气候变化等迫切问题。习近平主席指出，共建“一带一路”同2030年可持续发展议程高度契合，要推动两者有效对接、协同增效，为广大发展中国家创造更多机会。习近平主席的讲话高屋建瓴、坦荡坚定，有力提振了国际社会对中国和全球可持续发展前景的信心。各方普遍认为，中国不搞本国优先的自私哲学，不搞你输我赢的零和博弈，而是将自身发展寓于全球发展，在同各国良性互动中实现普惠共赢，将不断为世界经济提供市场、添加动力、创造机遇。
The SPIEF is an important platform for the international community to share views on global economic development. The theme of this year's forum is “Creating a Sustainable Development Agenda”, which is of important practical significance. President Xi Jinping pointed out that sustainable development is the “golden key” to solving global problems, and the best entry point to cooperation for the best shared interests worldwide. Focusing on the three major tasks of economic growth, social development and environmental protection as defined in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, President Xi Jinping systematically elaborated on the proposal to strengthen international cooperation on development. First, President Xi Jinping called on all parties to stick to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, and work together to create an open and diverse world economy. Second, we should stick to the practice of putting people first, and strive to build a happy society that is inclusive and benefits all. Third, we should stick to the pursuit of green development, and commit to building a beautiful homeland with harmonious coexistence between human and nature. President Xi Jinping stressed that China will continue to expand opening up, uphold the multilateral trading system, and carry out trade cooperation on the basis of equality and mutual respect. China is willing to share its latest scientific achievements, including 5G technology with other countries, and promote communication and cooperation in such topics as poverty reduction and social security. China will pay more attention to environmental protection and ecological conservation in cooperation with other countries, and join hands to tackle global climate change and other urgent issues. President Xi Jinping pointed out that the joint construction of the Belt and Road Initiative is highly compatible with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is necessary to promote effective alignment and synergy between the two to create more opportunities for developing countries. President Xi Jinping’s frank and firm speech from a strategic perspective has effectively boosted the international community’s confidence in the prospects of sustainable development in China and the world. It is widely held that China has been putting its own development in the context of global development, trying to achieve universal benefits through positive interactions with other countries instead of pursuing selfishness or playing a zero-sum game. China will continue to provide market, add momentum and create opportunities for the world economy.
王毅最后说，今年是中华人民共和国成立70周年。70年来，在党的领导下，中国外交走过波澜壮阔的历程，取得举世瞩目的成就。放眼当今寰宇，和平与合作潮流浩荡向前，世界多极化、经济全球化不可逆转，同时新课题新挑战层出不穷，不确定不稳定因素明显增多。中国外交的征程不会风平浪静，还会遇到各种艰难险阻。人间正道是沧桑。在这样一个风云激荡的时代，我们要以习近平外交思想为指引，不为任何风险所惧，不为任何困难所阻，始终站在历史前进的正确一边，始终站在绝大多数国家共同利益一边，坚定不移推动构建新型国际关系和人类命运共同体，不断开创新时代中国外交新局面，为实现中华民族伟大复兴、促进世界和平发展作出新的更大贡献。
In the end, Wang Yi said that this year marks the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Over the past seven decades, the Chinese diplomacy, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, has travelled a great journey and achieved remarkable success. Looking at today’s world, the trend of peace and cooperation is going forward. Multi-polarization and economic globalization are irreversible. At the same time, new issues and challenges are emerging with increasing uncertainties. The journey of Chinese diplomacy will not be calm. It will encounter various difficulties and obstacles. The road ahead of us will not be easy. In such an age of turbulence, China will follow the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Diplomacy, make unremitting efforts, fear no challenge or difficulties, and always stand on the right side of the history and for the common interests of most countries, to promote the building of a new type of international relations and a community with a shared future for mankind, and open up new prospects for China’s diplomacy in the new era, and make more significant and new contributions to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as well as the promotion of world peace and development.
