事实证明,中方援助极大地促进了这些国家的经济社会发展,为当地人民带来实实在在的好处,受到有关国家政府和人民的普遍欢迎和充分肯定。斐济总理姆拜尼马拉马日前在中国援建的斯丁森桥和瓦图瓦桥通车仪式上表示,中国是斐济坚定的合作伙伴和真诚朋友。太平洋岛国论坛轮值主席、萨摩亚总理图伊拉埃日前在接受采访时表示,萨欢迎中国援助,中国对萨所有援建项目均系应萨方要求实施并得到了很好利用。瓦努阿图总理萨尔维2017年8月在中国援建的卢甘维尔码头改扩建项目竣工移交仪式上表示,瓦中两国在不同领域开展了许多务实合作,瓦政府和人民获益良多。
It is evident that China's aid has significantly promote economic and social development of these countries and delivered tangible benefits to the local people, which has been widely welcomed and fully appreciated by the governments and people of these countries. At the opening ceremony of the China-aided Stinson Parade Bridge and Vatuwaqa Bridge recently, Fijian Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama referred China as "Fiji's staunch cooperation partner and sincere friend". The PIF Chair Samoan Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sa'ilele Malielegaoi told the media this week, "China comes to our assistance on the basis of our requests, on what we know is suitable for Samoa." In August 2017, at the completion handover ceremony for the Project of Rehabilitation and Extension of Luganville Main Wharf, Vanuatu Prime Minister Charlot Salwai said, "The Vanuatu-China relations are broadening and deepening. Our strategic partnership with China has brought us many benefits and is far from exhausting its potential."
中国的援助在太平洋岛国是否有成效,岛国人民和政府最有发言权。我们奉劝澳大利亚有关官员和媒体摒弃偏见、偏执和狭隘心理,停止对中国对岛国的真诚援助指手画脚、妄加评论。正如习近平总书记在中国共产党第十九次代表大会上所说:“中国将加大对发展中国家特别是最不发达国家援助力度,促进缩小南北发展差距。”中国将一如既往地向岛国提供必要支持与帮助,与它们一道共谋发展。我们也乐见澳大利亚切实履行对岛国的援助义务。
No one knows better than the people and governments of the Pacific Island countries on whether China's assistance is productive or not. We urge relevant Australian official and some of the media to abandon bias, bigotry and narrow mindset, stop pointing fingers at and making irresponsible remarks on China's sincere assistance to the Pacific Island countries. As General Secretary Xi Jinping put forward at the 19th CPC National Congress, "China will increase assistance to other developing countries, especially the least developed countries, and do its part to reduce the North-South development gap." China will provide the Pacific Island countries with necessary support and assistance as always, and pursue common development with them jointly. We are also happy to see Australia earnestly fulfill its commitments to render assistance to the Pacific Island countries.
