习近平会见韩国总统文在寅

12月23日，国家主席习近平在北京人民大会堂会见韩国总统文在寅。

As the world is undergoing profound changes rarely seen in a century, China and the ROK should deepen and develop their strategic cooperative partnership, and accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns, Xi said.
习近平指出，面对当今世界百年未有之大变局，中韩应深化和发展战略合作伙伴关系，照顾彼此核心利益和重大关切，推动双边关系迈上更高水平。

Hailing bilateral ties as "maintaining the major direction of stability and development" over the past two years, the Chinese president said the two countries have always been friends and partners that cooperate closely.
中韩一直是紧密合作的朋友和伙伴。过去两年多来，中韩关系保持了稳定发展的大方向。

As important and influential countries in Asia, as well as the world, China and the ROK share broad consensus in advancing bilateral ties, promoting regional peace, stability and prosperity, and safeguarding multilateralism and the free trade regime, he said.
习近平指出，中韩都是亚洲乃至世界上有分量、有影响的重要国家，两国在推动双边关系实现更好发展、促进地区和平稳定繁荣、捍卫多边主义和自由贸易体制等方面拥有广泛共识。

"The two countries should further tap the potential and lift the level and standard of pragmatic cooperation to realize high-quality and integrated development," Xi stressed.
习近平强调，双方要以实现高质量融合发展为目标，进一步挖掘潜力，提升务实合作层次和水平。

"China, as a responsible major country, always aligns its own development with global trends, and is willing to work with all countries to build a community with a shared future for humanity through upholding equality and mutual benefit, sharing opportunities and shouldering responsibilities," the Chinese president said.
习近平强调，当前，保护主义、单边主义、霸凌行径逆流而动，扰乱全球治理，威胁世界和平稳定。中国作为负责任大国，始终把自身发展寓于世界发展潮流之中，愿同各国坚持平等互利，同享机遇、共担责任，致力于构建人类命运共同体。

"I hope China and the ROK will continue to strengthen coordination within multilateral frameworks including the United Nations, the Group of 20, and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation, and safeguard international fairness and justice as well as the two countries' legitimate interests," Xi said.
希望双方继续在联合国、二十国集团、亚太经合组织等多边框架内加强协调，维护国际公平正义和两国正当权益。
