國防部：期待龍象共舞 舞出優美舞步

MND: Look Forward to a Harmonious Dance Between the Chinese Dragon and the Indian Elephant with Concerted Steps

11月28日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞局局長、國防部新聞發言人吳謙大校答記者問。

記者：印度國防部網站20日發布消息稱，印防長辛格近日在老撾萬象與中國國防部長董軍會晤時表示，印中作為世界上人口最多國家，兩國的友好關系將對全球和平與繁榮產生積極影響，兩國需要關注合作而非沖突。請問中方對此有何評論？

Question: According to information on the website of the Indian Defense Ministry on November 20, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh stated recently during his meeting with Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun in Vientiane, Laos, that a friendly relationship between India and China, the two most populous countries, will have a positive impact on global peace and prosperity, and the two countries should focus on cooperation rather than conflict. May I have you comment on this?

吳謙：11月20日下午，國防部長董軍在老撾萬象與印度國防部長辛格舉行會談，這次會談是積極而富有建設性的。雙方一致認為，應認真落實兩國領導人重要共識，推動兩軍關系穩定發展；應嚴格遵守雙方此前達成的共識，推動邊境局勢降溫緩和；應著眼增進互信，推動兩軍開展更多的交流與互動。我們希望雙方把握機遇、乘勢而上，實現兩軍關系的新發展，也期待龍象不僅能夠共舞，而且能舞出優美的舞步。

Wu Qian: Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun met with his Indian counterpart in Vientiane, Laos, on the afternoon of November 20. The meeting was positive and constructive. The two sides agreed to deliver on the important consensus reached by the two state leaders and promote a stable development of the mil-to-mil relationship; to strictly abide by the recent common understanding reached by the two sides and make efforts to deescalate tensions in the border areas; to focus on enhancing mutual trust and conduct more exchanges and interactions between the two militaries. We hope our two sides can seize the opportunity and the good momentum to make new progress in the mil-to-mil relationship. We also look forward to a harmonious dance between the Chinese dragon and the Indian elephant with concerted steps.
