「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2023-4-19）(8)

Bloomberg: Is China going to join the bilateral creditor grouping launched last week by India, Japan and France with Sri Lanka? What will be your plans for dealing with the issue of Sri Lanka’s outstanding debt to China?
汪文斌：我们已多次就相关问题表明中方立场。中方一贯支持本国金融机构同斯里兰卡积极协商债务处置方案，同有关国家和国际金融机构一道，继续为斯里兰卡应对当前困难、缓解债务负担、实现可持续发展发挥积极作用。同时，我们也呼吁商业和多边债权人共同参与斯里兰卡债务重组，公平分担责任。
Wang Wenbin: We have answered similar questions. China supports Chinese financial institutions in actively discussing debt treatment arrangements with Sri Lanka. We will work with relevant countries and international financial institutions to jointly play a positive role in helping Sri Lanka navigate the situation, ease its debt burden and achieve sustainable development. In the meantime, we call on commercial and multilateral creditors to take part in Sri Lanka’s debt restructuring and fair burden-sharing.
记者追问：你说中方愿意同斯里兰卡各方和其他国际债权人合作。那么中国是否愿意加入上周启动的双边债权人平台？
Follow-up: So you said that you’re willing to work with the Sri Lanka parties and also the other international creditors. So is China willing to join the bilateral creditor grouping that was launched last week?
