　　问：关于上周末中国与梵蒂冈签署的协议，你能否透露更多细节？协议中是否提到了梵蒂冈与台湾的关系？是否制定了中国希望梵蒂冈与台湾“断交”并与大陆建交的时间表？

　　答：关于中国与梵蒂冈签署的主教任命临时性协议，中方已经发布了消息稿。

　　至于中梵签署这一协议对台湾与梵蒂冈所谓“邦交关系”的影响问题，我想说的是，中方对改善中梵关系始终抱有诚意，也为此作出了不懈努力。中梵双方就主教任命达成临时性协议，这是双方在关系改善进程中取得的重要阶段性成果。中方愿继续与梵方相向而行，进行建设性对话，增进理解，积累互信，推动双方关系改善进程不断向前发展。

Q: Do you have any further details on the agreement that China reached with the Vatican over the weekend?

A: With regard to the provisional agreement on appointment of bishops signed between China and the Vatican, the Chinese side has issued the press release.

As to how signing this agreement between China and the Vatican will affect Taiwan's so-called diplomatic ties with the Vatican, I want to say that the Chinese side is always sincere about improving its ties with the Vatican and has been making unremitting efforts in this regard. Reaching the provisional agreement on appointment of bishops on the part of China and the Vatican is an important outcome in the process of improving our bilateral ties. China is willing to continuously work with the Vatican to conduct constructive dialogue, enhance understanding, accumulate mutual trust and keep improving our bilateral relations.
