China-UK Statement on Afghanistan

中英阿富汗問題聲明

China and the UK remain committed to their long-term support for the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and its people. The future security and stability of Afghanistan is of vital concern to us, and we will continue to work closely together and with the international community to achieve a prosperous future for Afghanistan.

中國和英國承諾將繼續(xù)長期支持阿富汗伊斯蘭共和國政府和人民。阿富汗未來的安全和穩(wěn)定對兩國至關(guān)重要,雙方將同國際社會一道,繼續(xù)密切合作,為實現(xiàn)阿富汗繁榮而努力。

We reaffirm our commitment to support an Afghan owned and Afghan led political settlement to the Afghan conflict. As members of the P5, we continue to support international efforts to assist the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces in bringing safety and security to Afghanistan. Both sides express sympathy with the Afghan victims of the conflict and remain deeply concerned by the increasing rates of civilian casualties. The two countries pay tribute to the effort and sacrifices of the international community, including UN-mandated international security forces, for the peace and reconstruction of Afghanistan.

雙方重申支持通過“阿人主導(dǎo),阿人所有”的政治和解進程結(jié)束阿國內(nèi)沖突。作為聯(lián)合國安理會常任理事國,雙方繼續(xù)支持國際社會為阿富汗國家安全部隊實現(xiàn)國內(nèi)安定的努力提供幫助。雙方向在沖突過程中傷亡的阿富汗人民表示同情,對日益上升的平民傷亡數(shù)量深感關(guān)切。雙方對國際社會包括聯(lián)合國授權(quán)的國際安全部隊為阿和平與重建所作努力和犧牲表示敬意。

Both sides, along with the government of Afghanistan, agree to establish trilateral cooperation. On infrastructure development, we plan to bring together Afghan, British and Chinese expertise to support development of Afghan institutions and improve delivery of much-needed infrastructure.

雙方同意與阿富汗政府開展三方合作。在基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施發(fā)展方面,我們計劃集阿富汗、英國和中國專業(yè)人士之力,支持阿富汗機構(gòu)發(fā)展,建設(shè)阿急需的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。

We will continue to work with each other and Afghanistan’s regional partners, including the Heart of Asia – Istanbul process, to help develop the economy, improve the security situation and implement the ambitious reform programme being led by the Government of Afghanistan.

我們將在伊斯坦布爾進程等機制下,繼續(xù)同阿富汗在本地區(qū)的伙伴國加強合作,幫助阿富汗發(fā)展經(jīng)濟,改善安全狀況,落實由阿政府推行的宏大改革計劃。

We will also work closely together to prevent the flow of weapons and support to all terrorist, violent and extremist groups. China and The UK condemn the terrorist acts against civilians, diplomatic missions and humanitarian and development workers. Such attacks are against the interests of Afghanistan and its people. Both our countries face threats from terrorism and have a shared interest in helping the Government of Afghanistan deal with the threat of international terrorists operating within its borders.

我們還將緊密合作,防止武器及援助流向所有恐怖和暴力極端組織,中英兩國譴責(zé)針對平民、外交機構(gòu)、人道救援及發(fā)展工作者的恐怖主義行為。這些襲擊不符合阿富汗及其人民利益。中英兩國面臨恐怖主義的威脅,幫助阿富汗政府妥善應(yīng)對其境內(nèi)的國際恐怖主義活動威脅符合雙方共同利益。

We recognise that humanitarian needs in Afghanistan are increasing. In particular, the rising numbers of internally displaced persons and Afghans returning from Pakistan and Iran will require immediate humanitarian assistance, as well as longer-term development support to integrate effectively. China and The UK are committed to working with humanitarian agencies to meet urgent, life-saving needs of the most vulnerable across Afghanistan.

我們認識到阿富汗日益增長的人道主義需求。阿國內(nèi)不斷增長的流離失所者及自巴基斯坦和伊朗返阿的難民急需人道主義援助,也需要長期發(fā)展支持以使其有效地重新融入社會。雙方致力于繼續(xù)同人道主義機構(gòu)合作,以滿足阿富汗最脆弱人群的迫切的生存需求。
