问：22日，世卫组织总干事谭德塞在非盟紧急卫生部长会议上发表视频讲话称，世卫组织仍担忧新冠肺炎疫情在卫生系统较弱的国家传播，呼吁国际社会支持那些最脆弱的国家。中方是否会向非洲提供帮助？

Q: On February 22 in a video speech at an emergency ministerial meeting on COVID-19 organized by the African Union, Director-General Tedros said the WHO still has concerns that this virus could spread to countries with weaker health systems, and he called on the international community to support those countries that are most vulnerable. Will China provide help to African countries?

答：我们注意到谭德塞总干事的有关表态。新冠肺炎疫情发生以来，中国政府和人民全力以赴抗击疫情。我们采取了最全面、最严格、最彻底的防控举措。事实证明，防控工作已取得显著成效。正如世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞指出，中国强有力的举措既控制了疫情在中国境内扩散，也阻止了疫情向其他国家蔓延，为全球疫情防控赢得了时间。

A: We noted Director-General Tedros' remarks. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the Chinese government and people have been making all-out efforts to counter it. The most stringent and thorough measures have been taken and relevant efforts are showing their effects. As the Director-General pointed out, it was because of China's strong measures that cross-border spread of the epidemic has been effectively contained and global preparedness has been allowed time for.

在抗击疫情的过程中，非洲国家虽然自身条件有限，仍第一时间向中方提供了宝贵的支持和帮助。前不久召开的非盟第36届部长级会议和非盟和平与安全理事会会议均发表公报，支持中方抗击疫情的努力。刚刚结束的非洲国家卫生部长紧急会议也高度评价中方抗疫举措。在危难时刻，非洲同中国站在一起，这是人类命运共同体理念的最好诠释。

During China's fight against the virus, many developing countries including African countries gave us valuable support and help at the earliest time possible despite of their own limited national conditions. The 36th Ordinary Session of the AU Executive Council and the latest AU Peace and Security Council meeting issued communiques not long ago, in which African countries expressed their solidarity with China in the efforts against COVID-19. During the recently concluded emergency AU meeting of African health ministers, countries also lauded China's epidemic control measures. African countries standing with China in times of adversity is a perfect demonstration of a community with a shared future for mankind.

“滴水之恩当以涌泉相报”是中华民族的优良传统。我们将铭记这份友情和帮助，继续落实好共建“一带一路”和中非合作论坛北京峰会成果，向那些卫生系统较弱国家提供力所能及的支持，帮助他们增强疫情防控能力，维护地区和全球的公共卫生安全。

"Receiving drips of water when in need, and I shall return the kindness with a spring." Reciprocating an act of kindness is our nation's fine tradition. We will remember the friendship and assistance we received, continue to implement the FOCAC Beijing Summit outcomes and act on the vision of building a community with a shared future, support those countries with weaker health systems as much we can to help them defeat the virus, and safeguard regional and global public health security.
