《北京日报》记者：据报道，日前，日本和太平洋岛国家与地区领导人举行第九届“太平洋岛国峰会”。日本首相菅义伟在开幕致辞中称，如今太平洋地区面临新冠疫情对社会经济的影响和与威权主义竞争等新挑战。日方极其重视受援国政府债务问题的可持续性。日方的援助做法与中国在援助期间造成受援国陷入“债务陷阱”的做法不同。中方对此有何评论？ Beijing Daily: At the opening ceremony of the ninth Pacific Islands Leaders Meeting held by Japan and Pacific island countries, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said that the Pacific region faces new challenges, like the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 and competition with authoritarianism. He added that Japan attaches high importance to the debt sustainability of recipient countries. Japan"s aid is different from that of China, which leads recipient countries to debt traps. Do you have any comment? 赵立坚：
中国一贯秉持人类命运共同体和真实亲诚理念开展同太平洋岛国的互利合作，并在力所能及范围内提供不附加任何政治条件的帮助。双方合作建立在相互尊重、平等协商的基础上，目的是发展经济、改善民生，受到太平洋岛国政府和人民的真诚欢迎。某些居心不良的国家炒作所谓中国援助太平洋岛国造成债务陷阱，是不得人心的。
Zhao Lijian: China has all along followed the vision of a community with a shared future for mankind and the principle of sincerity, real results, affinity and good faith when pursuing mutually beneficial cooperation with Pacific island countries, and provided aid to them with no political strings attached to the best of our capability. The cooperation between the two sides is based on mutual trust and equal-footed consultation and aims to promote economic development and improve people"s livelihood. Such cooperation has received the sincere welcome from the government and people of Pacific island countries. Certain ill-disposed countries are hyping up the allegation that China"s aid leads to debt trap for Pacific island countries. Their attempt has no popular support.
