2019年CRI 中国在非洲维和受到各方赞赏（在线收听）

The theme of the five-day exhibition in Addis Ababa is "Chinese People's Liberation Army (CPLA): A Force for World Peace."

It showcases the Chinese military's practices and achievements in safeguarding the world peace and advancing common development.

The event covers four major topics, including the Chinese military's participation in UN peacekeeping missions, its efforts in maritime security off the African east coast, disaster relief and humanitarian assistance, and exchanges and cooperation in global security.

17 different exhibition boards and over 60 photos are on display, and visitors can also watch short videos which are presented in Mandarin and English.

China's Charge d'Affaires to the African Union, Chen Xufeng, says the exhibition is a testament to the emphasis China puts toward promoting peace in Africa.

"Over the years, the Chinese People's Liberation Army has participated in 24 UN peacekeeping missions, 16 of which are in Africa. Of the 39-thousand peacekeeping troops we ever dispatched, 32-thousand have been deployed on this continent. We support the AU and all African countries in their pursuit of peace and development by putting Africa first and by giving assistance without (political) strings of any kind. And we believe this is why we could come such a long way in our cooperation with Africa."

Acting director for AU Peace and Security, Admore Kambudzi, notes China is taking on a larger role in keeping the peace in Africa.

"China is proven to be a valuable partner to Africa. Over the past two decades in particular, China has provided support to Africa in all areas, including in the area of peace and security. I hope we see much more of this in the future. I wish to express the AU's appreciation for the significant support provided by the Chinese government to the AU's peace and security efforts."

Norway's military attaché to the African Union, Terje Thomesen, says the Chinese peacekeepers stationed in Africa have proven themselves to be good soldiers, and good ambassadors for China.

"I worked a little bit with Chinese (peacekeepers) when I worked in UNMISS, the United Nations Mission in South Sudan. The Chinese officers I met with and worked with are very professional, very good officers, very good representatives of China. If you have peace and security as a very broad picture, China is by far the largest contributor to Africa. So I think China is a very important partner for Africa."

Chinese President Xi Jinping, delivering a speech at the opening ceremony to the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation in Beijing last year, proclaimed that China is ready to play a more constructive role in promoting peace and stability in Africa, and will support African countries in creating their own peace and stability.

“维护世界和平的中国军队”主题展览在亚的斯亚贝巴开幕，展览为期五天。

展览介绍了中国军队维护世界和平、促进共同发展的丰富实践和成效。

这一展览由四个部分组成，分别是“参与联合国维和行动”“维护国际海上通道安全”“提供国际救援救助”“开展安全交流合作”。

展览现场有17块展板共60多幅图片，参观者还可以观看中英文双语短视频。

中国驻非盟使团临时代办陈绪峰表示，这次展览证明了中国对非洲和平的重视。

“中国参加的24项联合国维和行动16项都在非洲；中国派出维和军事人员3.9万余人次，其中有3.2万人次都被派遣到了非洲。我们将一直支持非盟及非洲国家追求和平与发展事业，坚持非洲优先并为非洲提供不附带任何政治条件的帮助。这也正是中非合作长盛不衰的重要原因。”

非盟委员会和平与安全事务代理主任埃德蒙·坎布齐强调，中国在非洲维和方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。

“中国是非洲非常珍贵的伙伴，在过去的二十年间，中国一直对包括和平安全在内的多个领域为非洲国家提供重要支持。我希望将来能有更多的援助。我代表非盟感谢中国政府为非盟加强和平与安全提供的一系列帮助。”

挪威驻非盟军事代表泰耶·汤姆森表示，中国驻非维和部队已经证明了他们是优秀的军人，是中国的好使者。

“我在南苏丹参与联合国维和任务的时候曾经和中国维和官兵共事过一段时间，我认为他们非常专业，非常出色，为中国树立了良好的形象。中国为推动非洲国家的发展做出了重大贡献，是非洲的重要伙伴。”

中国国家主席习近平去年在北京举行的中非国际合作论坛开幕式上发表演讲时表示，中国愿意为促进非洲和平稳定发展发挥建设性作用，支持非洲国家提升自主维稳维和能力。
