李克強總理11月13日在緬甸內比都出席第九屆東亞峰會時,闡述了中方關於南海問題的原則立場-「雙軌思路」,即處理南海問題時,有關具體爭議應由直接有關的當事國通過談判和協商解決,以及南海和平的穩定由中國和東盟國家共同維護。「雙軌思路」既強調由直接當事國通過協商談判解決爭議,又重視東盟國家維護南海和平穩定的作用。
中國提出南海問題「雙軌思路」,將東盟整體地位抬高,讓東盟參與解決南海爭端,得到了廣大東盟國家的積極呼應。中國始終是東亞地區的和平穩定力量,堅定不移地走和平發展的道路,準備好和地區其他國家一起建設亞洲利益共同體、責任共同體和命運共同體。
Dual-track approach beneficial to maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea
Premier Li Keqiang clarified China's principle and stance on tackling issues concerning the South China Sea, when he attended the 9th East Asia Summit held in Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar on 13 November. He expressly presented a dual-track approach in which only the countries directly concerned are to resolve disputes, whenever they arise, through negotiation. It also stipulates that China and the ASEAN countries will jointly hold peace and stability in the South China Sea region. The approach emphasizes tackling disputes through consultation and negotiation between countries directly concerned. It also highly regards the role of the ASEAN countries in maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea.
The dual-track approach will enhances the role of the ASEAN as a whole, and enables it to work to end disputes in the South China Sea. So the idea receives positive responses from a majority of ASEAN countries. China, after all, is a force to maintain peace and stability in East Asia, and it has firmly committed to the course of peaceful development. China is ready to work with countries in the region to build an Asian community of shared interests, shared responsibilities and shared destiny.■Translation and Learning Point by Tung-ming [ tungming23@gmail.com ]
