習近平指出，薩摩亞在太平洋島國中第一批同新中國建交。建交近50年來，兩國保持傳統友好，始終相互尊重、平等相待、合作共贏。中方一貫主張，國家不分大小一律平等，都有獨立自主實現現代化的權利。中方堅定支援薩方維護自身主權和獨立，自主探索符合本國國情的發展道路，願同薩方堅持互尊互信，加強治國理政和發展經驗交流，繼續在南南合作框架內為薩摩亞經濟社會發展提供幫助，深挖經貿、投資、農漁等領域潛力，拓展互利合作，實現共同發展。雙方要促進文明互鑒，加強教育、文化、青年等人文領域交流合作，推動中薩全面戰略夥伴關係行穩致遠。

習近平強調，中國對太平洋島國秉持“四個充分尊重”原則，對太平洋島國的幫助不附加政治條件，不強加於人，不開“空頭支票”。中國對太平洋島國的政策開放包容，沒有私心，不針對第三方，不搞地緣爭奪和勢力範圍。中方願將幫助太平洋島國提升應對氣候變化能力作為優先合作領域，推動《聯合國氣候變化框架公約》及其《巴黎協定》全面有效實施，維護共同但有區別的責任原則，維護公道正義和全球南方共同利益，攜手構建人類命運共同體。

Xi meets Samoan PM, says China prioritizes empowering Pacific Island countries to tackle climate change

BEIJING, Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping met with Samoan Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata'afa in Beijing on Tuesday, saying China is willing to make empowering Pacific Island countries to tackle climate change a priority in its cooperation with these countries.

China will work with Pacific Island countries to promote the full and effective implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and its Paris Agreement, honor the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities, uphold fairness, justice and the common interests of the Global South, and build a community with a shared future for mankind, Xi told Mata'afa.

Noting that Samoa was among the first Pacific Island countries to establish diplomatic ties with the People's Republic of China nearly five decades ago, Xi said the two countries have maintained traditional friendship, mutual respect, equal treatment and win-win cooperation.

He said China supports Samoa in safeguarding its sovereignty and independence, and exploring a development path suited to its national conditions.

China will continue to provide assistance to Samoa in its economic and social development, and tap the potential of economy, trade, investment, agriculture and fisheries to achieve common development, Xi said.

Xi stressed that China does not attach political strings to its assistance to the Pacific Island countries, and China's policy toward Pacific Island countries is open and inclusive, without targeting any third party or engaging in geopolitical competition or spheres of influence.

Mata'afa said Samoa hopes to learn from China's experience in achieving modernization, especially in poverty reduction and green development.

Thanking China for its long-time valuable assistance to Samoa, Mata'afa said Samoa firmly adheres to the one-China principle and supports the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative proposed by President Xi.

Samoa regards China as an important strategic partner and looks forward to taking the opportunity of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties next year to further advance bilateral relations, Mata'afa said. ■
