如何发挥移民对可持续发展的“正能量”，消除移民问题带来的消极影响，需要国际社会深入思考，综合施策。对此，中国代表团有以下几点看法和建议：

The international community should ponder upon ways and means to tap the “positive energy” immigrants bring to sustainable development and eliminate negative effects of migration, and should take an integrated approach in implementing policies. In this regard, the Chinese delegation would like to make the following comments and suggestions:

一、推动各国共同发展，从源头上解决移民问题。移民现象的原因归根结底在于各国经济社会发展不平衡。世界可持续发展不可能建立在一批国家越来越富裕而另一批国家却长期贫穷落后的基础之上。各国应树立命运共同体意识，推动共同发展，从根本上消除国际移民领域的消极因素。发达国家应从资金、技术等方面帮助发展中国家实现千年发展目标，实现经济社会共同发展。

First, promote development of all countries so as to resolve the issue of migration at the source. The fundamental cause of migration is uneven economic and social development across countries. Sustainable development of the world cannot be built on the basis of a situation in which some countries’ wealth keeps increasing while other countries are bogged down in poverty and backwardness. Countries should embrace the concept of common destiny and strive for common development, thereby fundamentally eliminating the negative factors in the area of international migration. Developed countries should provide financial and technical assistance to developing countries for them to achieve the MDGs, thus realizing common economic and social development.

二、公正客观看待移民现象，为移民创造包容性环境。各国应理性对待移民给本国社会带来的多元文化影响，引导本国民众和舆论正确对待移民。一些国家应采取切实措施，取消不合理的移民限制政策，确保移民合理、有序流动，同时应切实保障移民合法权益，促进移民融入当地社会，为当地发展贡献力量。

Second, adopt a fair and objective view of migration, and create an inclusive environment for immigrants. Countries should take a rational view of different cultures brought in by immigrants, and give guidance to the population and the media on proper treatment of immigrants. Certain countries should take effective measures to remove unreasonable restrictive immigration policies to ensure rational and orderly flows of migration. At the same time, they should effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of immigrants and facilitate the latter’s integration into local society so that they can contribute to local development.
