尊敬的康特大使。

各位专家学者。

女士们，先生们，朋友们：

大家好。

很荣幸参加中国研究所举办的中印关系视频研讨会。首先，我要对康特先生和中国研究所为举办此次研讨会付出的努力表示衷心感谢。

今天参加研讨会的有很多老朋友，不少人是印度知名的中国问题专家，长期以来为中印关系的发展做了大量工作。大家在线上齐聚一堂，目的是围绕如何推动中印关系向前发展进行建设性讨论。在当前形势下进行这样的讨论非常有必要，也很高兴借此机会分享我对中印关系未来的思考。

《钢铁是怎样炼成的》第九章感悟是我缓缓合上《钢铁是怎样炼成的》，书中的情节令我铭刻肺腑。保尔早年丧父。被赶出学校后，当了两年杂役才转到发电厂。革命爆发后，他结识了老布尔什维克朱赫来，埋下革命的种子。他敢于向。

不久前，中印边界西段发生加勒万河谷事件，这是一起不幸事件，是双方都不愿看到的。事件发生后，双方立即通过军事和外交渠道开展对话。王毅国务委员兼外长先后同苏杰生外长、多瓦尔国安顾问通了电话。两国还进行了四轮军长级会谈和三次边境事务磋商和协调工作机制会议。经过双方共同努力，两国一线部队已经在大多数地点实现脱离接触，边境局势总体稳定、趋向缓和。

我注意到，一段时期来，印方智库学者十分关注加勒万河谷事件，发表各种见解，有观点认为，这将是改变甚至逆转中印关系的“转折点”。坦率地说，我对此有不同看法。

要推动中印关系向前走，我认为需要摆正对几个关键问题的看法。

第一，中国坚持和平发展，不是印度的“战略威胁”。

中国有14亿多人，要让如此巨大的人口摆脱贫困，过上幸福美好的生活，这是十分艰巨的任务。自新中国成立以来，从解决温饱到基本实现小康，再到即将全面建成小康社会，我们一直把发展作为第一要务。和平是发展的前提。没有和平，发展无从谈起。中国要实现高质量发展，当然要坚守和平、维护和平。

中印作为世界上仅有的两个10亿级人口大国、两个最大发展中国家和新兴经济体代表，都处于国家发展和民族复兴的关键时期，都需要集中力量发展自己，实现振兴。这不是一朝一夕就能完成的事情，而是需要十几年、几十年甚至更长时间才能实现的历史使命。因此，“龙象共舞”是双方唯一正确选择，最符合两国和两国人民的根本利益，最符合亚洲和世界的持久和平与繁荣。

正是基于这一共识，中印几代领导人始终从战略高度看待中印关系，始终坚持将边界等历史遗留问题放在中印关系的恰当位置加以妥善管控处理，避免复杂化、扩大化，防止其影响中印关系发展大局。

1988年，印度前总理拉吉夫·甘地对中国进行“破冰之旅”。邓小平先生明确表示发展是两国面临的共同任务，“中印两国不发展起来就不是亚洲世纪”，“中印两国发展起来了，就是对人类作出了贡献”。双方还一致同意，在寻求两国都能接受的边界问题解决办法同时，积极发展两国其他方面的关系。这为此后30多年中印关系快速发展奠定了基础。

2014年以来，习近平主席和莫迪总理在会面时多次强调，中印要坚持互为发展机遇、互不构成威胁。这对中印关系作出了基本判断，为两国关系发展指明了方向。

第二，中国坚定维护国家主权，绝不搞侵略扩张。

加勒万河谷事件是非曲直十分清楚，我之前接受印度媒体采访时已经谈过，今天不再细说。我更想讲的，是双方应如何看待这一事件。

令我感到担忧的是，近期印度舆论因为边界问题出现一种论调，建议印度政府调整对华政策，改变在涉台、涉藏、涉港、南海等问题上的立场，向中国施加更大压力。我想在此强调，台湾、香港、涉疆、涉藏等问题是中国的内政，事关中国主权安全。中国不干涉别国的内政，但也绝不容许任何外来干涉，绝不会拿自己的核心利益做交易。

中国和印度历史、文化背景和社会制度不同，在一些问题上存在不同看法在所难免。习近平主席指出，中印关系要稳定、要发展，互信是基础。这就道出了中印关系的根本和关键。中印之间要实现互信，就要正确认识对方的战略意图，加强沟通交流。就要做到相互尊重、平等相待、开放包容。就要坚持不干涉内政原则，尊重和照顾彼此的核心利益和重大关切。就要重信守义，言行一致，说到做到，把双方达成的共识切实落到实处。

最近一位在印度工作的德国朋友对我说，近期由于印度限制中国汽车零部件进口，在印度的德国汽车制造商生产都受到了很大影响。这充分说明，采取自我保护、非关税壁垒和排华限制性措施，违反了市场规律和世贸组织准则，损人不利己，最终会伤及自身、伤及他人、伤及世界。

女士们，先生们。

中印关系走到今天来之不易，需要倍加珍惜。这就像一个精美的工艺杯，做成这个杯子需要耗费多少人多少时间的心血和智慧，今天在线的一些中国问题专家也为此付出了很多努力，然而打碎它却用不了几秒钟。现在中印关系发展又到了关键时刻，稍有不慎，就有打破杯子的风险。越是在这个关键时刻，双方越应该审慎、冷静、理性地处理两国关系，顺应国际大势，始终坚持向前看、向前行，坚决避免因为误判形势而使双边关系陷入猜忌和对抗的漩涡。

关于中印关系的未来，我个人始终抱有信心。因为中印友好符合两国的根本利益，是人心所向、大势所趋，不应因一时一事的困难就停滞不前甚至发生逆转。中国古语说，“咬定青山不放松”，“任尔东西南北风”。圣雄甘地也说过，“找到你的目的，方法就会随之而来”。只要中印双方坚定发展睦邻友好关系的信念，把两国领导人达成的战略共识传导下去、诉诸行动，就没有任何力量能够动摇。

今天在线的各位战略界、学术界、媒体界的朋友，你们是印度社会的“意见领袖”，希望大家能够发出客观、理性、负责任的声音，与中方相向而行，正确引导塑造印度舆论对华认知，为推动中印关系发展注入更多正能量。中国驻印度使馆也愿与大家共同努力，落实和传导两国领导人共识，为推动中印关系尽快重回稳定健康发展的轨道贡献力量。

谢谢大家。

Implement the Consensus Reached by Leaders of China and India To Bring China-India Relations Back on the Track of Sound and Steady Development--Speech by H.E. Ambassador Sun Weidong at the seminar on &34; of ICS

Dear Ambassador Ashok Kantha。

Dear experts and scholars。

作者自称“1924年以前不太懂俄语,而双目夫明前也只上过一年函授共产主义大学:因作品塑造了保尔·柯察金这个有着钢铁般意志的共产主义战土的形象和作家自身经历的传奇品质,《钢铁是怎样炼成的》成为世界革命青年成才的“教科书”和“圣经”。

Ladies and Gentlemen，Friends。

Good afternoon.

It is my honor to attend this webinar on China-India relations held by Institute of Chinese Studies (ICS). First of all，I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Ashok Kantha and ICS for your efforts in holding this webinar.

Here are a lot of old friends of mine. Many of you are well-known experts on China. You have made a lot of contributions to the development of China-India relations over the years. Today，we are gathered online to have constructive discussions on how to move China-India relations forward. Such discussions are necessary under the current situation. I am glad to take this opportunity to share my thoughts on the future of China-India relations.

Before looking to the future，it is necessary to look to the past of China-India relations. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and India. The past 70 years witnessed an extraordinary journey. With the joint efforts of both sides，the two countries have established a Strategic and Cooperative Partnership for Peace and Prosperity. Especially in recent years，President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi held two informal summits and reached important consensus. They emphasized that China and India are each other's development opportunities and stable factors in the current international landscape. We need to strengthen the Closer developmental Partnership between our two countries. Under the guidance of the consensus reached by the two leaders，morning，China and India have deepened exchanges and cooperation in various fields. Our coordination in major international and regional affairs has been continuously enhanced. Although there exist differences between us，the two sides have always been seeking solutions through dialogue and consultation. China-India relations have never stopped moving forward.

in，Along the way，the precious experience we have learned is that，we should unswervingly adhere to the strategic guidance of our leaders，achieve common development through friendly cooperation and properly handle differences through dialogue and consultation to push forward the sound development of our relations. These lessons and experience still have important practical significance in handling China-India relations today.

Recently，there occurred the Galwan Valley Incident in the western sector of the China-India boundary. It was an unfortunate incident. Neither side wants to see it happen. Immediately after the incident，the two sides conducted dialogues through military and diplomatic channels. Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi held telephone conversations with Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval respectively. The two sides also held four rounds of Corps commander-level talks and three meetings under the Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination on China-India Border Affairs (WMCC). With the joint efforts of both sides，the border troops have disengaged in most localities. The situation on the ground is deescalating and the temperature is coming down.

I have noticed that for some time，scholars from Indian think tanks have paid close attention to the Galwan Valley incident and expressed various opinions. Some believe that this will be a &34; to change or even reverse China-India relations. Honestly speaking，I have different idea on this.

In my video speech on July 10th，I proposed five points: China and India should be partners rather than rivals; China and India need peace rather than confrontation; we need to pursue win-win cooperation rather than zero-sum game; we need to build trust rather than suspicion; China-India relations should move forward rather than backward. I think the position is very clear.

In the current era，we believe that the basic national conditions of China and India as the two largest developing neighbors remain unchanged. The orientation of China and India being partners，friendly cooperation and common development remains unchanged. The general structure that China and India cannot live without each other remains unchanged. These three &34; are our basic judgment on the current China-India relations.

It is based on this judgment that China's basic policy towards India remains unchanged. Both sides should grasp the fundamental interests of the two countries and their peoples，stick to friendly cooperation and properly handle differences to bring the bilateral relations back to the normal track.

To move China-India relations forward，I believe that we need to straighten our views on several key issues.

First，China is committed to peaceful development，and it is not a &34; to India.

To safeguard world peace and promote common development has always been the fundamental goal of China&39;s no gene for seeking hegemony or resorting to military power in Chinese people&39;s Republic of China over 70 years ago，we have always pursued good-neighborly friendship，sought development with our neighbors and worked to make the pie of cooperation bigger. No matter how developed China may become，we will follow the path of peaceful development and will never seek hegemony or expansion. It has been formally written into China's Constitution and is our basic national policy and solemn commitment.

There are more than 1.4 billion people in China. It is an arduous task to lift such a huge population out of poverty and make them lead a happy life. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China，we have given top priority to development. From ensuring adequate food and clothing for the people，to building a basically moderately prosperous society，we will soon complete the building of a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Peace is a prerequisite for development. There is no development without peace. To achieve high-quality development，China must uphold and safeguard peace.

As the two largest developing countries，emerging economies and the only two countries with over one billion population in the world，China and India are both at a critical period of national development and rejuvenation. Both countries need to concentrate on their own development and achieve rejuvenation. This is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It is a historic mission that will take one decade，more decades or even longer to achieve. Therefore，&34; is the only correct choice for the two sides. It best serves the fundamental interests of the two countries and peoples，and serves the lasting peace and prosperity of Asia and the world at large.

It is based on this consensus that previous generations of Chinese and Indian leaders have always viewed China-India relations from a strategic perspective and put boundary question and other issues left over from history in an appropriate position of China-India relations to properly manage and handle them，to avoid complications and escalation，and to prevent them affecting the overall development of China-India relations.

Since 2014，President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have stressed on many occasions that China and India are each other's opportunities and pose no threat to each other. This has made a basic judgment on China-India relations and pointed out the right direction for the development of bilateral relations.

At present，both China and India are facing severe challenges namely COVID-19，the economic downturn and pressure on people&34;threat&34;opponent&34;strategic threat&39;s strategic intentions，and prevent misinterpretation and miscalculation in a positive，open and inclusive attitude.

Second，China firmly upholds its sovereignty and meanwhile China will never engage in aggression or expansion.

The rights and wrongs of the Galwan Valley incident are very clear. I have talked about it in my previous interview with Indian media. I won't go into details today. What I want to talk about is how the two sides should treat this.

It is the legitimate right for every country to safeguard its own sovereignty and territorial integrity. Since the founding of PRC，China has firmly safeguarded its national sovereignty，security and development interests and opposed all forms of hegemonism and power politics. In the meanwhile，we have never been aggressive and never pursued our own development at the expense of other countries. China has demarcated boundary with 12 of its 14 land neighbors through friendly negotiations，turning land borders into bonds of friendly cooperation. This demonstrates that on the basis of mutual respect and treating each other as equals，we can find the right way to solve problems through peaceful negotiations. One fact is that China has never claimed any land outside its own territory. The label of &34;cannot be pinned on China.

It is normal for neighbors to have differnces. We should focus on friendship and cooperation instead of only on differences. We should not allow the development process of the two countries and the overall interests of bilateral relations to be disturbed. As we Chinese often say，&39;t see the wood for the trees&39; meeting on the boundary question，reached a series of agreements to maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas，and kept the channels of military and diplomatic communication open. These good practices must continue.

There has been an argument in Indian public opinion on the boundary question，which worries me，suggesting the Indian government adjust its policy towards China，and change its stance on issues related to Taiwan，Xizang，Hong Kong and the South China Sea to put pressure on China. I want to point out emphatically that Taiwan，Hong Kong，Xinjiang，and Xizang affairs are totally China&39;s sovereignty and security. While China doesn&39;s domestic affairs，it allows no external interference and never trades its core interests either.

As the two countries have different histories，cultural backgrounds and social systems，it is inevitable that we have different views on some issues. President Xi Jinping pointed out that mutual trust is the foundation for the stability and development of China-India relations. This speaks to the essence and key of China-India relations. To achieve mutual trust between China and India，we need to have a correct understanding of each other&39;s internal affairs，and respect and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns. We need to honor our commitments，walk the talk and implement the consensus reached between the two sides.

Both China and India are great oriental nations with ancient civilizations. I have full confidence that we have enough wisdom and capability to solve the problems between us and blaze a new path of peaceful coexistence and win-win cooperation between major neighboring countries.

Third，China advocates win-win cooperation and opposes &34;.

Chinese President Xi Jinping proposed that we need work together to build a community with a shared future of mankind，advocating peaceful development and win-win cooperation. China has always emphasized win-win cooperation in its development. While developing itself rapidly，China has contributed more than 30% to world economic growth and over 70% to global poverty reduction for many years in a row. China never exported refugees，let alone wars. Instead，China has shared its development dividends with others. China's contributions to the world are obvious to all.

Chinese and Indian economies are highly complementary and have huge market potential. Our bilateral economic and trade relations are a model of win-win cooperation，which has been proved by many facts. Since the 21st century，bilateral trade volume between China and India has increased by 32 times to nearly 100 billion US dollars. China has been India's largest trading partner for many years，with a cumulative investment of more than 8 billion US dollars in India. China-India economic and trade cooperation has boosted the development of industries such as mobile phones，household appliances，infrastructure，automobile making，medicine and biology in India，creating a large number of local jobs and cost-effective products for Indian consumers. If it is not for the high degree of complementarity between China and India，how can we explain the remarkable achievements of China-India economic and trade cooperation in the past decades?

In fact，the Chinese and Indian economies are interwoven and interdependent. According to local statistics in India，in 2018-2019，92% of Indian computers，82% of TVs，80% of optical fibers，85% of motorcycle components are imported from China. Countless examples like this are the reflection of globalization. Globalization has deepened the interconnection between countries into the &34;. Whether you want it or not，the trend is difficult to reverse. Both China and India have been deeply embedded in the global industrial chain and supply chain. The development of economic and trade cooperation between our two countries is determined by international division of labor. It is also the natural choice of enterprises and consumers of our two countries under the market-oriented principles. The forced decoupling of the Chinese and Indian economies is against the trend and will only lead to a &34; outcome.

A German friend working in India recently told me that，due to India's recent restrictions on the import of Chinese auto components，the production of German automakers in India had been greatly affected. It fully demonstrates that self-protection，non-tariff barriers and restrictive measures violate market laws and WTO rules. It will only be harmful to oneself ，to others as well as to the world.

The economic and trade exchanges between China and India should be a positive cycle of mutual accomplishment. It should not become a &34; nor a &34; that deliberately suppresses others. Indian government announced that it will provide a favorable investment environment for foreign companies，which should include Chinese companies and treat everyone equally. Both sides should recognize the mutually beneficial and win-win nature of bilateral economic and trade cooperation，jointly create an open，fair，just business environment，and maintain the momentum of China-India economic and trade cooperation to bring more tangible benefits to the two peoples.

Ladies and gentlemen。

China-India relations today are hard-earned and should be cherished all the more. It is like an exquisite craft glass. So much effort and wisdom by a lot of people are needed to make this glass. Some of the China experts online today have also put a lot of effort into this. But it will only take a few seconds to break it. China-India relation has reached a critical juncture now. A little carelessness may risk breaking the glass. At this moment，the two sides should handle the relations cautiously，calmly and rationally，conform to the international trend，always look forward and move forward，and resolutely avoid the whirlpool of suspicion and confrontation caused by miscalculation of the situation.

I personally always have strong confidence in the future of China-India relations. China-India friendship serves the fundamental interests of the two countries. It accords with the aspirations of two peoples and the general trend. It should not be stagnated or even reversed due to temporary difficulties. As an old Chinese saying goes，&39;t let go no matter from whichever direction the winds leap&34;Find purpose. The means will follow."As long as China and India have firm faith in developing good-neighborly and friendly relations，transmit the strategic consensus reached by the two leaders，and resort to actions，no force can shake it.

Dear friends，you come from the strategic，academic，or media circles，and you are the &34; of Indian society. I hope that you could speak with an objective，rational and responsible voice，meet China halfway，correctly guide and shape Indian public opinions on China，and inject more positive energy into China-India relations. The Chinese Embassy in India is willing to work together with you. Let's transmit and implement the consensus reached by the two leaders，and contribute to bringing China-India relations back to the track of steady and sound development at an earliest time.

Thank you all.
