问：中国将在4月担任联合国安理会轮值主席国。中方将如何行使职责并发挥作用？将重点推动哪些方面的工作？

Q: China will assume the rotating presidency of the Security Council in April. How will China fulfill its duty? What will be on top of China’s working list?

答：中国已就任本月安理会轮值主席。根据安理会通过的本月工作计划，安理会将举行约30场会议，审议叙利亚、也门、巴以问题以及南苏丹、索马里等非洲热点问题。安理会还将于本月举行三场公开辩论会，分别审议巴以问题、反恐问题和几内亚湾海盗问题，旨在推动国际社会进一步凝聚共识，共同推动中东和平进程走出僵局，协力遏制恐怖主义威胁，妥善应对海盗问题挑战。

A: China has become this month’s rotating president of the Security Council. According to the working plan, the Security Council will hold about 30 sessions this month to review issues including Syria, Yemen, Palestine and Israel as well as African hot-spot issues such as South Sudan and Somalia. There will also be three open debates at the Security Council this month on Palestine and Israel, counter-terrorism and piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, with the purpose of building up international consensus, breaking the deadlock in the Middle East peace process, containing the threat of terrorism through concerted efforts and properly addressing the piracy problem.

中国作为安理会常任理事国，支持推动安理会发挥国际集体安全机制在止战维和方面的关键作用，通过和平解决争端和强制性行动双轨并举，化干戈为玉帛。本月中方将履行好安理会轮值主席的职责，同安理会各成员保持密切沟通与协调，促进安理会工作更加高效务实。我们还将同非安理会成员、当事国等加强互动，确保安理会工作更加透明开放。

As a permanent member of the UN Security Council, the Chinese side supports the Security Council in playing the key role of the international collective security mechanism in stopping wars and keeping peace, and turning hostility into friendship by running in parallel peaceful settlement and compulsory measures. The Chinese side will fulfill its duty as the Security Council’s rotating president this month, stay in close communication and coordination with all Security Council members and encourage the Security Council to work in a more efficient and practical way. We will also have more interactions with non-Security Council members and countries concerned to ensure that the Security Council will operate in a more transparent and open manner.

问：据报道，亚美尼亚和阿塞拜疆1日在边境纳卡地区爆发军事冲突，目前双方均有多名军人伤亡。中方对此有何评论？

Q: The outbreak of conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh between Armenia and Azerbaijan on April 1 has killed and injured several soldiers on both sides. What is China’s comment on that?

答：中方注意到有关情况。希望有关各方保持冷静和克制，通过协商和对话妥善解决分歧，共同维护地区和平稳定。 　　

A: The Chinese side has taken note of the situation. It is hoped that parties concerned would keep calm, exercise restraint and properly resolve differences through consultation and dialogue so as to maintain regional peace and stability.
