《人民日报》记者：党的十八大以来，外交工作取得了前所未有的重大成就，赢得了全国人民普遍赞誉。2018年是十九大之后的开局之年，你能否透露今年的中国外交将有哪些亮点？
People’s Daily: Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, China has made unprecedented progress in its foreign relations, which is widely praised across the country. Following the 19th Party Congress, what will be the highlights of China’s diplomatic agenda this year?
王毅：党的十八大以来，在以习近平同志为核心的党中央正确领导下，我们走出了一条具有中国特色、中国气派、中国风格的大国外交之路，为维护国家主权和人民利益，为服务国内改革发展大局发挥了重要作用，取得了历史性成就。去年10月，习近平总书记在中共十九大报告中强调，我们要同各国一道，共同建设新型国际关系、共同构建人类命运共同体，这就是新时代中国特色大国外交的目标。
Wang Yi: Under the outstanding leadership of the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core since the 18th Party Congress, we have traveled on a road of major-country diplomacy that reflects China’s distinct vision, style and values. Producing historic accomplishments, our diplomatic efforts have been instrumental to upholding national sovereignty and interests, and to facilitating domestic reform and development. Last October, General Secretary Xi Jinping emphasized in his report to the 19th Party Congress that China will work with other countries to foster a new type of international relations and to build a global community with a shared future. This is the aim of China’s major-country diplomacy in the new era.
2018年是贯彻落实十九大精神的开局之年。中国外交将在习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想指引下，拿出新作为，展现新气象。今年的中国外交亮点主要体现在四大主场活动上。
The year 2018 kicks off efforts to implement the decisions of the 19th Party Congress. Guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, we in the diplomatic service will take new steps and make new strides. The main highlights of China’s diplomatic calendar will include the following four events we are going to host:
一是4月在海南举行博鳌亚洲论坛年会，主旋律是改革开放。今年恰逢中国改革开放40周年，本届年会将总结改革开放成功经验，展示新时代深化改革、扩大开放的新前景。
First, the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference, which will take place in Hainan this April and focus on reform and opening-up. In this 40th anniversary year of reform and opening-up, we will review China’s successful experience and sketch new possibilities for reform and opening-up in the new era.
二是6月在青岛举行上海合作组织峰会，主旋律是弘扬“上海精神”。扩员后的上合组织将重温互信、互利、平等、协商、尊重多样文明、谋求共同发展的“上海精神”，开启上合组织发展壮大的新征程。
Second, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit, which will take place in Qingdao this June and focus on revitalizing the Shanghai Spirit. The expanded SCO will rededicate itself to the Shanghai Spirit of mutual trust and benefit, equal-footed consultation, respect for diversity of civilizations and pursuit of common development. The summit will set the SCO on a new journey of consolidation and growth.
三是9月在北京举行中非合作论坛峰会，主旋律是“一带一路”。非洲各国的兄弟姐妹将会以峰会为契机，全方位参与“一带一路”建设，为中非全面战略伙伴关系注入新动力。
Third, the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation Summit, which will take place in Beijing this September and focus on the Belt and Road Initiative. A great opportunity for our African brothers and sisters to participate fully in the BRI, the Summit will give new impetus to the China-Africa comprehensive strategic partnership.

2018年中国外交的大幕已经拉开，新时代的中国外交将为中国自身发展营造更好外部环境，为人类进步事业提供更多正能量。
China’s diplomatic agenda for 2018 are unfolding even as we speak. In the new era, we will work even harder to see that China will enjoy a better environment for development and make greater contributions to human progress.
路透社记者：中国可以发挥什么作用鼓励朝美进行直接谈判？中方是否认为美方应该撤离驻韩的美军？
Reuters: What role does China have to facilitate direct talks between North Korea and the United States? Does China believe that the US needs to withdraw its military forces in South Korea?
王毅：半岛问题是当前国际社会最关注的一个话题。朝韩双方抓住冬奥会契机，展开一系列密集互动，南北关系迅速解冻，为冰封已久的半岛局势注入了久违的暖流。发生这样的变化有人似乎感到困惑，其实是情理之中。冬奥会期间，朝鲜没有进行新的核导试验，美韩也暂停了针对朝方的军演。事实证明，中方提出的“双暂停”倡议是一剂对症下药的良方，为南北改善关系营造了最基本的条件。
Wang Yi: This is the hottest topic right now. Seizing the opportunity of the PyeongChang Olympics, the DPRK and the ROK have had a succession of interactions and achieved a rapid thaw in their relations, reversing the long-standing chill on the Korean Peninsula. The recent developments may seem baffling to some people, but are actually within the bounds of reason. During the Winter Games, the DPRK did not conduct any nuclear test and the US and the ROK suspended their joint exercises targeting the DPRK. This proves that China’s “suspension for suspension” proposal was the right prescription for the problem and created basic conditions for the improvement of inter-Korean relations.
现在，半岛问题的解决终于朝着正确方向迈出了重要一步。我们对朝韩双方为此作出的努力予以充分肯定和支持。接下来的关键，是各方积极呼应，形成合力，共同把半岛局势重新纳入和平稳定的轨道，把半岛核问题重新纳入对话解决的轨道。为此，我们呼吁各方尤其是美朝双方尽快进行接触和对话。各方沿着“双轨并进”的思路，既坚持半岛无核化目标，又积极构建半岛和平机制。在推进无核化的进程中同步对等解决各方包括朝方的合理安全关切。这既是中方的一贯立场，也是联合国安理会决议中确定的目标。
The Korean Peninsula issue has finally taken an important step in the right direction. China fully commends and supports the efforts made by the two Koreas. To return the Peninsula to peace and stability and the nuclear issue to the track of dialogue, these initial steps must be followed up by corresponding and concerted efforts by the parties. To this end, we call on the parties, particularly the US and the DPRK, to engage in dialogue sooner rather than later. We encourage all to follow the dual-track approach of remaining committed to the goal of denuclearization and working actively to establish a peace mechanism on the Peninsula. The parties’ legitimate security concerns, including those of the DPRK, can be addressed in exchange for and in tandem with progress towards denuclearization. This is China’s long-standing position and also the vision set forth in the relevant Security Council resolutions.
冰冻三尺非一日之寒。尽管隧道的尽头已经显露曙光，但前行的道路不可能一帆风顺。历史经验告诉我们，每当半岛局势出现缓和时，各种干扰就会如影随形，接踵而来。现在又到了检验各方是不是真心希望解决半岛核问题的关键时刻。和平必须争取，机遇需要把握。各方应以半岛和平大局为重，以本地区人民安危为重，拿出政治勇气，作出政治决断，尽快开展一切必要和有益的双多边接触，全力推动重启和平解决半岛核问题的对话谈判。中方将为此继续作出不懈努力。
Of course, it takes more than one cold day to freeze three feet of ice. Despite light at the end of the tunnel, the journey ahead won’t be smooth. History has reminded us time and again that whenever tensions subsided on the Peninsula, the situation would be clouded by various interferences. Now is a crucial moment for testing the sincerity of the parties. Every effort must be made for peace, and the opportunity must be seized. It falls to all parties to bear in mind the imperative of peace and the well-being of people in the region. All must demonstrate political courage and make a political decision to expeditiously carry out all necessary and useful engagements, both bilateral and plurilateral, and to do their best to restart dialogue and negotiation for the peaceful settlement of the nuclear issue. China will continue to make unremitting efforts for this outcome.
