張曉剛：6月25日至26日，上海合作組織成員國國防部長會議在山東青島舉行，中國國防部長董軍主持會議并發言。今年中國是上合組織輪值主席國，此次防長會是落實輪值主席國工作的重要活動。
Zhang Xiaogang: The SCO Defense Ministers' Meeting is held in Qingdao, Shandong Province from June 25 to 26. China's Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun presided at the meeting and delivered a speech. This year, China is the rotating chair of the SCO, and hosting the Defense Minister’s Meeting is an important activity to perform its duties.
在上合組織建立發展過程中，防務安全合作發揮著特殊重要作用，中方積極推動戰略溝通、深化務實合作、創新合作模式。一是組織或參加國防部長會議、軍隊總參謀長會議、國際軍事合作部門會議等，與各成員國進行溝通交流、凝聚共識，在國際和地區安全問題上發出“上合聲音”。二是主辦并多次參加“和平使命”系列聯演、“和平號角”軍樂節、專家工作組會議，開展軍事醫學、軍事交通、軍事翻譯等專業交流，各領域合作不斷走深走實。三是首倡并舉辦上合組織高級軍官研修班、中青年軍官交流、“上合組織+”青年智庫沙龍，豐富各成員國軍隊人員交流形式渠道，不斷增進友誼互信。
Throughout the process of the establishment and development of the SCO, defense and security cooperation has played a role of special significance. The Chinese side has actively promoted strategic communication, deepened substantive cooperation, and initiated many cooperation programs. First, we have organized or participated in the Defense Minister’s Meeting, the Chiefs of General Staff Meeting, the meeting of International Military Cooperation Organs, etc. Through these events, we have communicated and exchanged views with all member states, reaching consensus and promoting the “SCO voice” on international and regional security issues. Second, we have hosted the “Peace Mission” joint exercise, the “Fanfare for Peace” military tattoo and the Expert Working Group meetings, participated in them multiple times, and conducted professional exchanges on military medicine, military transportation, military translation and other areas. Cooperation in various fields has been deepened and solidified. Third, we have initiated and held the SCO Seminar for Senior-Level Officers, the SCO Junior-and-Middle-Level Officers’ Exchange, and the “SCO+” Young Scholars’ Salon, all of which have enriched the channels for exchanges among service members of the SCO member states, and strengthened their friendship and mutual trust.
團結協作、眾行致遠。中國軍隊將與上合組織各成員國軍隊大力弘揚“上海精神”，繼續拓展深化防務領域合作，攜手建設團結互信、和平安寧、繁榮發展、睦鄰友好、公平正義的共同家園，為服務構建人類命運共同體貢獻力量。
United in cooperation, our journey will be far and steady. The Chinese military will work with militaries of other SCO member states to carry forward the Shanghai Spirit, further broaden and deepen defense cooperation, and join hands in building a common home featuring solidarity and mutual trust, peace and tranquility, prosperity and development, good-neighborliness and friendship, and fairness and justice, thereby contributing to building a community with a shared future for mankind.
