近日，澳大利亚国际发展部长关于中国对太平洋岛国援助的指责，既不符合事实，也是不负责任的。她的言论理所当然遭到萨摩亚、巴新、斐济等太平洋岛国的质疑。甚至澳大利亚国内也不乏批评之声。
The recent allegations made by the Australian Minister for International Development about China's aid to the Pacific Island countries are both groundless and irresponsible. Those comments are naturally disputed by countries such as Samoa, PNG and Fiji, and even cause quite some criticism in Australia.
作为世界上最大的发展中国家，中国始终在南南合作框架下向其他发展中国家提供力所能及的援助。这是中国负责任大国作用的重要体现。在对外援助中，中国始终坚持不附带任何政治条件，切实尊重受援国意愿和需求，并坚持互利共赢。同时，我们始终充分考虑受援国的负债情况和偿还能力，避免受援国承受过大债务负担。所有相关援建项目都要经过认真的可行性研究和市场化论证，以确保它们都能取得应有的经济和社会效益。
As the largest developing country in the world, China has been all along committed to providing all possible assistance to other developing countries within the framework of South-South cooperation. This is a key demonstration of China's role as a responsible major power. In providing foreign aid, the Chinese government always attaches no political strings, and fully respects the wishes and needs of the recipient countries. Moreover, our assistance aims to produce win-win outcomes. In the meantime, China often bears in mind the debt-paying ability and solvency of recipient countries, avoiding causing too much debt burden to recipient countries. All relevant projects have been conducted with careful feasibility study and market research, so that they deliver the desired economic and social benefits.
基于上述原则和考虑，中国多年来向岛国提供了大量援助。一是支持岛国减贫和改善民生，包括派遣农业专家和技术组、援建示范农场、援建或翻修校舍、派遣医疗队、援建体育场馆等。二是帮助岛国建设公路、桥梁、码头、电站等基础设施。三是积极开展人力资源培训项目。中国还支持岛国提出的旨在推进区域合作进程的“太平洋计划”。
Based on the above-mentioned principles and considerations, China has provided the Pacific Island countries with large amount of aid over the years. Firstly, China supports these countries with their poverty reduction and livelihood improvement, which includes sending agricultural experts and technical groups, building demonstration farms, building or refurbishing schools, sending medical groups, and building sports stadiums. Secondly, China helps the Island countries build infrastructures, including roads, bridges, ports and power plants. Thirdly, China actively carries out human resources training programs for the Pacific Island countries. China also supports the Pacific Plan aiming at promoting regional cooperation, endorsed by Pacific Island countries.
