Q: According to reports, on May 9, the Chinese and Japanese governments reached an agreement on China providing a pair of crested ibises to Japan, and the two sides signed a memorandum. It has been 11 years since China offered crested ibises to Japan last time. What is your comment?
A: Known as "the Diamond of the Orient" of its kind, crested ibises are deeply adored by both the Chinese and Japanese people and they have become a symbol of our friendship.
中日兩國從上世紀80年代起共同保護朱鹮，中方先后向日方提供5只朱鹮個體，幫助日方重新建立朱鹮種群，日方通過官方和民間保護項目支持中國朱鹮棲息地保護工作。
經(jīng)過長期努力，中國朱鹮種群數(shù)量已由1981年的7只發(fā)展到3000多只，并通過放歸自然等措施在陜西、浙江、河南等地重建了野外種群。日本朱鹮種群已達500只左右，也通過人工繁育個體放歸自然重建了野外種群。中日朱鹮保護合作共贏已經(jīng)成為世界野生動物保護史上的成功范例。
China and Japan have joined hands to protect crested ibises since the 1980s. China has since then provided 5 crested ibises to Japan and helped it to restore its crested ibis colonies. Japan has supported China's efforts to preserve the crested ibis habitats through official and private programs.
Thanks to long-term endeavors, the number of crested ibises in China has grown from 7 in 1981 to over 3000, and the wild crested ibis colonies have been recovered in Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Henan and other provinces through reintroduction and other measures. In Japan, the number of crested ibises has reached around 500 and the wild crested ibis colonies have also been restored through the reintroduction of artificially reared individuals. The China-Japan win-win cooperation for the preservation of crested ibis has become a successful exemplar in the history of world wildlife protection.
此次，中方再次向日方提供兩只朱鹮用于兩國開展合作繁育研究，這不僅有利于繼續(xù)提高日方朱鹮種群的遺傳多樣性，也將進一步增進兩國人民的友好感情。
問：5月8日，亞美尼亞議會選舉帕什尼揚為總理。中方對此有何評論？
答：亞美尼亞是中國的友好合作伙伴。中方尊重亞美尼亞人民的選擇，愿繼續(xù)推動兩國關(guān)系和各領(lǐng)域合作向前發(fā)展。
Now, China's offering of two crested ibises for joint breeding study will not only help to increase the genetic diversity of Japanese crested ibis colonies but also further enhance the friendship between the two peoples.
Q: On May 8, the Armenian parliament elected Nikol Pashinyan as the country's new Prime Minister. What is your comment?
