国防部：中国始终是非洲国家最可信赖的伙伴和兄弟

MND: China Remains the Most Reliable Partner and Brother for African Countries

2月10日下午，国防部新闻局副局长、国防部新闻发言人蒋斌大校就近期涉军问题发布消息。

记者：近日，习近平主席复信津巴布韦解放斗争老战士，强调中国始终是非洲民族解放和发展振兴事业的好战友、好伙伴。请进一步介绍中国与非洲军事合作有关情况。

Question: President Xi Jinping recently replied to veterans of Zimbabwe's national liberation war, emphasizing that China has always been a good comrade and partner in Africa's quest for national liberation, development and revitalization. Please provide more information about the military cooperation between China and African countries.

蒋斌：非洲有句谚语“河有源泉水才深”。上世纪五六十年代以来，中国和非洲国家在反帝反殖反霸斗争中相互理解、相互支持，结下了同呼吸、共命运、心连心的兄弟情、战友谊。近年来，在习近平主席和非洲国家领导人战略引领下，中非友谊赓续传承、历久弥坚。中非军事合作始终坚持平等互利、共同发展，在军队建设、人才培养、联演联训、维和、反恐、人道主义救援等多领域合作取得丰硕成果，中非和平安全论坛、对非医疗卫生援助等成为双方合作的品牌项目。

Jiang Bin: As a saying in Africa goes, "A river runs deep, thanks to its source." During our struggle against imperialism, colonialism and hegemonism in the 1950s and 1960s, China and African countries fought alongside each other as comrade-in-arms, rendering mutual understanding and support. The strong bond that were forged lasted until today, allowing us to live and breathe for the same future. In recent years, under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and leaders of African countries, the friendship between China and Africa has been sustained and deepened. Upholding the principles of equality, mutual benefit and common development, China-Africa military cooperation has yielded fruitful results in various fields such as military development, talent cultivation, joint exercises and training, peacekeeping, counter-terrorism and humanitarian assistance. Initiatives like the China-Africa Peace and Security Forum and medical assistance to Africa have become signature programs of military-to-military cooperation.

中国始终是非洲国家前行道路上最可信赖的伙伴和兄弟，中国军队将继续秉持真实亲诚理念，与非洲国家军队真诚合作、守望相助，积极践行全球安全倡议，携手落实中非“安全共筑伙伴行动”，为构建新时代全天候中非命运共同体作出更大贡献。

China remains the most reliable partner and brother on the path forward for African countries. Staying committed to the principles of sincerity, real results, affinity and good faith, the Chinese military will continue to engage in sincere cooperation and mutual support with militaries of African countries. Together, we will actively deliver on the Global Security Initiative, follow through on the Partnership Action for Common Security, and make greater contributions to building an all-weather China-Africa community with a shared future for the new era.
