中國軍隊提升參加聯合國維和行動深度廣度

The PLA Will Deepen and Expand Its Participation in UNPKOs

4月24日下午，國防部舉行例行記者會，國防部新聞發言人張曉剛大校答記者問。

記者：今年是中國軍隊參加聯合國維和行動35周年，中國軍隊1990年4月首次派出軍事觀察員，現已成為聯合國維和行動關鍵力量。請發言人介紹中國軍隊參加聯合國維和行動情況。

Question: This year marks the 35th year of the Chinese military’s participation in United Nations peacekeeping operations (UNPKOs). Since the Chinese military dispatched military observers for the first time to UNPKOs in April 1990, it has now become a major troop contributor. Could you provide an overview of the Chinese military’s participation in UNPKOs?

張曉剛：中國軍隊參加聯合國維和行動35年來，執行25項維和行動，派出維和官兵5萬余人次，赴剛果（金）、黎巴嫩、南蘇丹等20多個國家和地區，完成排雷排爆、醫療救治、警戒護衛、保護平民等任務。中國“藍盔”不懼艱險、勇毅前行，為世界和平出征，先后有劉鳴放、杜照宇、申亮亮等17名官兵為聯合國維和事業獻出熱血青春和寶貴生命。

Zhang Xiaogang: Since our first deployment 35 years ago, the Chinese military has participated in 25 peacekeeping missions, and dispatched over 50,000 personnel to more than 20 countries and regions, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Lebanon and South Sudan. Chinese peacekeepers completed tasks such as mine clearance and explosive ordinance disposal, medical treatment, security escorts, and protection of civilians. China’s Blue Helmets have stepped forward for world peace with courage and persistence in despite of difficulties and dangers. 17 Chinese service members, including Liu Mingfang, Du Zhaoyu and Shen Liangliang, have made the ultimate sacrifice for the UN peacekeeping cause.

維護和平、守護人民。中國是聯合國安理會常任理事國第一大維和行動出兵國，也是聯合國第二大維和攤款國，常態保持8000人維和待命部隊，涵蓋步兵、醫療、快反等10類28支分隊；與90余個國家、10余個國際和地區組織開展維和交流與合作，打造“共同”系列維和行動國際品牌，現有近1800名中國維和官兵在聯合國7個任務區和聯合國總部執行任務。中國軍隊將持續提升參加聯合國維和行動的深度與廣度，為積極踐行全球安全倡議、服務構建人類命運共同體貢獻更多力量。

It’s our objective to preserve peace and protect the people. China is the largest troop contributor to UNPKOs among the permanent members of the UN Security Council, and the second largest contributor to UN peacekeeping assessments. We maintain an 8,000-strong peacekeeping standby force, which consists of 28 units in 10 categories, such as infantry, medical and rapid response units. The Chinese military has conducted exchanges and cooperation on peacekeeping with over 90 countries and 10 international and regional organizations. We have built “Shared” series, an international brand of peacekeeping operations. As we speak, approximately 1800 Chinese peacekeepers are executing tasks in the UN headquarters and seven mission areas. The Chinese military will continue to deepen and expand our participation in UNPKOs, and contribute more to the implementation of the Global Security Initiative and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
