Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang's Regular Press Conference on June11, 2018

问：据报道，10日，朝鲜最高领导人金正恩乘坐中国提供的专机前往朝美领导人会晤举办地新加坡。请问金正恩委员长为何使用中方飞机？中方对此持何立场？ 

　　答：应朝方要求，中国民航为朝鲜代表团前往新加坡提供了有关服务。 

Q: The DPRK supreme leader Kim Jong Un reportedly took a special plane provided by China to Singapore on June 10, where he would meet with his US counterpart. Why did Chairman Kim Jong Un take a Chinese jet? What is China’s position on this? 

A: At the request of the DPRK, Chinese airline provided relevant services for its delegation’s trip to Singapore. 

　　问：是朝鲜要求中国提供航班，还是中国主动提供的？ 

　　答：你没有认真听我刚才的回答吧？我刚才说的第一句话就是，应朝方要求。 

　　问：关于该飞机，是中方借给朝方的，还是中方收取了租用包机的相关费用？不要让我去问有关部门，我们认为外交部就是主管的有关部门。 

Q: Can you clarify whether the DPRK requested the Chinese side to do so or the Chinese side offered it to the DPRK? 

A: I assume you just missed what I said. The very first thing I said was “at the request of the DPRK”. 

Q: Did China lend the plane or did you charge a price for rental? Please don’t tell me to go to the relevant department, because we believe the foreign ministry is the relevant department. 

　　答：我的答案与刚才是一样的。应朝方要求，中国民航为朝鲜代表团前往新加坡提供了有关服务。 

　　问：据报道，上合组织青岛峰会昨天闭幕。会议非常成功，气氛非常融洽，达成了许多共识。相比之下，七国集团领导人峰会则有很多分歧，显得不那么融洽。上合峰会的成功和七国集团峰会的失败，是否表明了中国体制以及中国主办大型国际会议的优势？ 

A: My answer is just the same as the previous one. At the request of the DPRK, Chinese airline provided relevant services for its delegation’s trip to Singapore. 

Q: According to reports, the SCO Qingdao Summit concluded yesterday. It was very successful and harmonious and there was a lot of consensus reached. By comparison, the G7 Summit ended with lots of disharmony and disagreements. Do you think the success of the SCO Summit and the relative failure of the G7 Summit shows the superiority of China’s system and how China hosts big international summit?
