汪文斌：在习近平主席和普京总统战略引领下，中俄联系坚持高水平运转，包含当地协作在内的各范畴协作稳步推动。“长江—伏尔加河”当地协作理事会是中俄两国间重要的当地协作机制之一，此前已分别在中、俄两国成功举行过三次会议，为统筹推动两区域间经贸、人文等范畴协作发挥了活跃效果。 Wang Wenbin: Under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and President Putin, China-Russia relations have been growing at a high level with steady progress of cooperation in various sectors, including at sub-national level. The meeting of the Yangtze-Volga cooperation council is one of the important sub-national cooperation mechanisms between China and Russia. The council has held three successful meetings in China and Russia, which played a positive role in coordinating and advancing cooperation in trade, culture and people-to-people exchange between the two regions.

土耳其阿纳多卢通讯社记者：上星期末以色列戎行突击了希法医院邻近的救护车车队、马加齐和沙蒂收容所、联合国开办的法库拉校园以及其他加沙地带民用设备，导致包含儿童在内的很多布衣伤亡。突击收容所、校园、医院显着违背《关于战时保护布衣之日内瓦公约》。本月，我国接任联合国安理会轮值主席国。中方对加沙地带产生的违背国际法和国际人道法的行为持何态度？将怎么阻止这些或许构成战役罪的行为? Anadolu Agency: Over the past weekend Israeli forces had targeted a convoy of ambulances near Al-Shifa Hospital and hit Al-Maghazi and Al-Shati refugee camps and a UN-run school, Al-Fakhoura school, among other civilian facilities in Gaza Strip. Attacks have resulted in heavy casualties including children. Targeting refugee camps, schools, hospitals clearly violates Geneva Convention on the protection of civilian persons in time of war. China has taken over the presidency of Security Council in the UN this month. What’s China’s position on these violations of international law and international humanitarian law in Gaza? And what would you offer to stop these actions that could amount to war crimes?
汪文斌：本轮巴以抵触已形成超越11000人逝世，其间绝大多数是布衣，特别是一段时间以来，巴勒斯坦方面布衣死伤人数急剧上升，加沙地带呈现灾祸性的人道主义形势。这是对人类良知的拷问，是对国际联系根本准则的蹂躏。国际社会不该答应这样的惨剧继续下去。中方斥责和对立损伤布衣、危害民用设备、违背国际人道法的行为，敦促有关各方坚持最大极限镇定抑制，当即停火止战，全力保证布衣和医院等遭到《日内瓦公约》特别保护的民用设备安全，拓荒人道救援通道，防止更大的人道主义灾祸。 Wang Wenbin: The current Palestinian-Israeli conflict has resulted in over 11,000 deaths, mostly civilians. The past few days in particular have seen Palestinian civilian casualties rocketing and catastrophic humanitarian situation engulfing Gaza. This tragedy is a challenge to human conscience and affront to the basic norms of international relations. The international community must not allow it to continue. China condemns and opposes acts that harm civilians and damage civilian facilities and violate the international humanitarian law. We urge relevant parties to exercise maximum calm and restraint, immediately stop fighting, do everything possible to ensure the safety and security of civilians and hospitals as well as other civilian facilities under the special protection of the Geneva Convention, open up humanitarian aid corridors, and prevent the humanitarian disaster from getting even worse.
日前联大紧迫特别会议以压倒性多数经过抉择，呼吁当即完成人道休战，要求各方当即全面实行其依据国际法承当的职责，按照国际人道法尊重和保护一切布衣和民用物体以及人道主义人员和设备，重申“两国方案”。这反映了国际社会的激烈呼声和人心向背。作为安理会轮值主席国，中方将为康复巴勒斯坦的平和尽最大努力，推动安理会实行职责，发挥效果，凝集一致，赶快采纳负职责、有意义的举动缓解当时危机、保护布衣安全。咱们也愿继续同国际社会一道，为调停抵触、平缓严重、推动巴勒斯坦问题重回“两国方案”轨迹作出不懈努力。 A week ago, the UN General Assembly held an emergency special session and adopted a resolution with overwhelming majority. The resolution calls for an immediate humanitarian truce, demands that all parties immediately and fully comply with their obligations under international law and respect and protect all civilians and civilian objects as well as humanitarian personnel and facilities in accordance with the international humanitarian law, and reaffirms the two-state solution. This resolution reflects the strong call of the international community and where it stands on the issue. As the current UN Security Council president, China will do its utmost for restoring peace in Palestine, and get the Security Council to fulfill its responsibility, play its role, build up consensus and take prompt, responsible and meaningful action to ease the current crisis and keep civilians safe. We will continue working with the rest of the international community and make relentless effort to mediate the conflict, ease tensions and bring the Palestinian question back to the track of the two-state solution.

汹涌新闻记者：咱们注意到，第五届中美友城大会日前成功举行。发言人能否进一步介绍状况，对此有何谈论？ The Paper: The fifth China-US Sister Cities Conference was successfully held last week. Can you further elaborate on the event and what’s your comment?
汪文斌：11月3日，第五届中美友城大会在江苏姑苏举行。习近平主席向大会致信指出，中美联系根底在民间，力气源泉在公民友爱。友爱省州和友爱城市是深化中美公民友谊、完成互利共赢的重要载体。40多年来，两国友爱省州和友爱城市亲近协作，获得丰硕效果，为两国公民带来了实实在在的利益。期望与会各方继续做中美当地沟通的桥梁，助力两国省州、城市跨过众多的太平洋，一起为推动中美联系健康稳定开展、增进两国公民福祉发挥更大效果。 Wang Wenbin: The fifth China-US Sister Cities Conference was held in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province on November 3. President Xi Jinping sent a message to the Conference, saying that the foundation of China-US relations lies in the people and the source of strength lies in the friendship between the people. Sister provinces/states and sister cities are important platforms for deepening friendship and cooperation that benefits both sides. Over the past four decades and more, sister provinces/states and sister cities in the two countries have engaged in close and fruitful cooperation and benefited both peoples in concrete ways. President Xi called on participants of the conference to continue to serve as a bridge for sub-national exchanges and enable provinces/states and cities to reach out to each other over the vast Pacific and together play a greater role in facilitating sound and steady growth of bilateral relations and enhancing the well-being of both peoples.
友城协作随同中美建交而诞生。1979年以来，两国已树立284对友爱省州和友爱城市联系，为中美联系开展供给了有力支撑。本届大会是新冠疫情以来两国当地和民间沟通范畴的一件大事，来自我国10余个省市的代表和美国22个州近20位郡市长等共约200人到会大会及配套活动。在“共建绿色城市 同享民生福祉”主题下，两国嘉宾深入探讨、同享经历、对接协作，获得活跃效果，充沛展示出中美当地和民间沟通的热络与生机，也反映出两国友爱协作是深得人心，民意地点。 Sister city cooperation started when China and the US established diplomatic ties. Since 1979, our two countries have set up 284 pairs of sister provinces/states and cities, providing strong support for growing China-US relations. This Conference is a major event in China-US sub-national and people-to-people exchanges since COVID-19. The Conference and sideline events attracted about 200 participants, including representatives from over 10 Chinese provinces and cities and nearly 20 county supervisors and city mayors from 22 US states. Under the theme of “Build Green Cities for the People”, participants had in-depth exchanges of views, shared experience, explored opportunities for cooperation and achieved good results. The conference reflects the keen interest and strong dynamism in sub-national and people-to-people exchanges. It also shows that friendly cooperation is wanted by people from both countries.
中方将继续支撑和鼓舞当地和民间往来。咱们也期望美方同中方相向而行，为两国当地和民间往来协作发明有利条件，营建良好氛围。 China will continue to support and encourage sub-national and people-to-people exchanges. We also hope that the US will work with us to create favorable conditions and the atmosphere for sub-national and people-to-people exchanges and cooperation.
