第四、新疆是个自由、安全的地方。新疆采取多种措施保护公民宗教信仰自由、保障各族人民文化权利和使用本民族语言文字的权利。新疆有清真寺、教堂、寺院、道观等宗教活动场所2.48万座，有宗教教职人员2.93万人，设有伊斯兰教经学院等10所宗教院校，平均每530位穆斯林就有一座清真寺。少数民族优秀传统文化得到保护和弘扬，维吾尔木卡姆艺术、柯尔克孜史诗《玛纳斯》列入“人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录”。民族语言文字在司法、行政、教育、新闻出版、广播电视、互联网、社会公共事务等领域广泛使用。妇女、儿童、老年人和残疾人权利得到充分尊重和依法保护。新疆稳定红利持续释放，已连续超过30个月没有发生暴恐事件，去年共接待1.5亿人次旅游，预计今年有望达2亿人次。一个有近2亿人次进出的地方，能说不安全、不自由吗？
Fourthly, Xinjiang is a place with freedom and safety. Xinjiang has taken a host of measures to protect citizens' freedom of religious belief and safeguard their cultural rights and the right of all ethnic groups to use their own ethnic languages. There are 24,800 mosques, churches, Buddhist temples, Taoist temples and other religious venues, 29,300 clerical staff, and 10 religious schools such as the Xinjiang Islamic Institute. For every 530 muslims in Xinjiang, there is a mosques. Fine traditional cultures of ethnic minorities are protected and developed. The Uygur Muqam art and Kirgiz epic Manas have been listed as Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Ethnic minority languages are widely used in judicature, administration, education, press and publication, radio and television, the internet and social public affairs. The rights of women, children, the aged and people with disabilities are fully respected and protected by law. The stability dividend has continued to benefit Xinjiang. No case of violent terrorism has occurred for over 30 months in a row. A total of 150 million tourists visited Xinjiang last year, and this year the figure is expected to reach 200 million. Is it fair to label a place that receives nearly 200 million visitors a year as unsafe and not free?
在人权问题上，没有最好，只有更好。我们将继续全方位推进中国人权事业发展，不断满足人民对美好生活的需求和向往，继续携手各国共同在世界范围内促进和保护人权，助力构建人类命运共同体。
“鞋子合不合脚，自己穿了才知道”。在中国新疆问题上，最有发言权的是新疆各族人民。我们诚挚欢迎尼方朋友到新疆实地考察，感受一个美丽、真实、好客的新疆，一个好地方。
When it comes to human rights, no one can claim perfection. So making progress is all important. We will continue to advance human rights development in China in an all-round way to meet people's needs and aspiration for a better life, and join hands with other countries to promote and protect human rights around the world, with a view to advancing the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
Only a shoe's wearer knows if it fits. The best-qualified to speak on Xinjiang are the Xinjiang people of all ethnic groups. We sincerely welcome Nigerian friends to make field visits to Xinjiang, and see for yourselves a beautiful, true and hospitable Xinjiang, a good place in north-western China.
