Statement by H.E. Ambassador Zhang Y esui, Permanent Representative of the People's Republic of China at the General Assembly of the United Nations Commemorative of the 15th Anniversary of the International Conference on Population and Development

New Y ork, 12 October 2009

主席先生：

Mr. President,

十五年前，国际人口与发展大会在埃及隆重举行，179个国家的代表齐聚开罗，共同签署《行动纲领》，确立了世界人口发展的目标和时间表。这是世界人口发展史上的里程碑事件，为世界人口事业的发展指明了方向。今天，我们在联合国召开国际人发大会十五周年纪念会议，回顾十五年来世界人口的发展历程，交流各国的人口发展经验，共同探讨应对世界人口领域面临的挑战，具有十分重要的意义，必将对实现《行动纲领》目标和联合国千年发展目标产生重要的推动作用。

Fifteen years ago, the International Conference on Population and Development was convened in Egypt. Representatives of 179 countries gathered in Cairo to sign the Program of Action which identified goals and established time tables for world population development. The ICPD is a milestone in the history of population and development, pointing out the direction of our endeavor. Today we are holding this General Assembly plenary meeting to mark the 15th anniversary of the ICPD, review the path that we have traversed over the past 15 years, exchange our experience in population and development and jointly explore ways to respond to challenges in the field of population. This meeting is of important significance. It will certainly give a strong impetus to the endeavor to realize the goals contained in the Program of Action and the Millennium Development Goals.

国际人发大会召开十五年来，各国政府积极落实《行动纲领》确定的目标，结合本国经济、社会、资源和环境的实际情况制定人口发展规划，取得了人口与发展领域的重要成就。我们高兴地看到，十五年来，全球人口出生率下降，平均期望寿命增加，孕产妇死亡率减少，普及教育程度提高，人们在获得生殖健康服务方面有了更多的选择，国际人发大会所倡导的原

则和精神已经深入人心。联合国人口基金为推动《行动纲领》目标和千年发展目标的实现做出了卓有成效的努力，我愿借此机会对人口基金和欧拜德执行主任所做的贡献表示赞赏。

Since the convening of ICPD 15 years ago, in a bid to realize the goals set by the Program of Action, governments have formulated plans for population development in accordance with their specific situations in terms of economy, society, resources and environment and have scored significant achievements in the field of population and development. We are pleased to see that the past 15 years have witnessed a decline of the global birth rate, an increase of life expectancy, a decrease of maternal mortality and an enhancement of literacy. People now have more choices in their access to reproductive health and the principles and spirit advocated by the ICPD have been widely disseminated and supported. In this process, UNFPA has exerted remarkable efforts in promoting and achieving the ICPD goals and the MDGs. I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to the great contributions that Dr. Thoraya Obaid, Executive Director of UNFPA, and her staff have made.

在庆贺所取得的成就的同时，我们也应看到，要最终实现《行动纲领》确立的目标和联合国千年发展目标，仍有很多困难和挑战。贫穷、疾病、老龄化、性别不平等等诸多问题仍然困扰着世界人口的发展，特别是发展中国家人口的发展。金融和经济危机的爆发更使得许多发展中国家受到严重冲击，解决人口发展问题的能力受到严重制约。

While celebrating the achievements made so far, we must not lost sight of the fact that there are still numerous difficulties and challenges to be overcome in order to realize the goals contained in the Program of Action and the MDGs. Problems like poverty, disease, aging and gender inequality still plague the development of the world population, especially the people in the developing countries. The outbreak of the financial and economic crisis has brought new, severe blows to many developing countries, seriously hampering their capacity to address population and development.

国际社会应以纪念人发大会召开十五周年为契机，加强人口领域的国际合作，加大对世界人口问题的投入。发达国家应当切实履行自己的承诺，向发展中国家提供更多的援助，帮助发展中国家克服实现《行动纲领》目标和千年发展目标所面临的困难，真正使世界上每一个国家和地区的人民都能享有平等发展的机会，为实现人类社会的共同繁荣创造条件。

In this connection, the international community should seize this opportunity of commemorating the 15th anniversary of the ICPD to increase input in the work related to population and strengthen the international cooperation in the field of population. Developed countries should honor their commitments, provide more assistance to developing countries to help them overcome their difficulties in obtaining the ICPD goals and the MDGs so that people in every country and region of the world can have equal opportunities for development, thus creating conditions for the

common prosperity of mankind.

主席先生，

Mr. President,

中国政府认真履行对《行动纲领》目标和千年发展目标的承诺，始终把落实目标与中国人口和发展的实践相结合。经过多年坚持不懈的努力，中国创造了发展中人口大国经济快速增长、人口全面发展的成就，为稳定世界人口增长做出了积极贡献。作为拥有13亿人口的发展中国家，中国愿借此机会分享我们在人口与发展领域取得的经验，共同促进人发大会目标和千年发展目标的实现。

The Chinese government has always implemented conscientiously the ICPD goals and the MDGs, and has incorporated efforts to achieve those goals in its work in the field of population and development. After years of unremitting efforts, China, a developing country with a large population, has realized rapid economic growth and comprehensive development of its population, thus contributing positively to the stabilization of the world’s population growth. As a developing country with a population of 1.3 billion, China wishes to take this opportunity to share its experience in the field of population and development as its contribution to the joint efforts of the international community to realize the ICPD goals and the MDGs.

第一，坚持计划生育基本国策，统筹解决人口问题。中国政府从本国国情出发，坚定不移地实行计划生育基本国策，采取人口与发展综合决策的战略，有效地稳定了人口过快增长，普遍提高了人口素质。经过多年努力，2008年中国的人口自然增长率下降到千分之5.08，孕产妇死亡率下降到10万分之36.6，医疗、教育和社会保障水平得到显著改善。

First, we have adhered to the basic national policy of family planning and sought to address the question of population in an integrated manner. Based on its specific national situation, the Chinese government has steadfastly implemented its basic state policy of family planning, adopted a strategy of integrating population with development in decision making and as a result, effectively stabilized our over rapid population growth and improved the quality of our population. After many years of hard work, the natural growth rate of population in China has declined to 5.08 per thousand in 2008 and the maternal mortality rate has been reduced to 36.6 per 100,000. There has been a marked improvement in health care, education and social security.

第二，促进性别平等，不断满足人民群众计划生育和生殖健康的需求。中国政府把男女平等作为一项重要政策，通过关爱女童等活动，综合解决出生人口性别比偏高问题。同时，将

生殖健康引入人口和计划生育方案，定期为孕产妇做围产期检查，为3岁以下婴幼儿做生长发育检查。中国政府还高度重视艾滋病防治工作，有效遏制了艾滋病疫情的蔓延。

Secondly, we have always worked to promote gender equality and meet our people's needs in family planning and reproductive health. Gender equality is an important policy of the Chinese government and we take an integrated approach in trying to rectify the unbalanced sex ratio at birth through initiatives such as “caring for girls”. We have incorporated reproductive health into our programs for population and family planning; provided regular prenatal care to pregnant women and new moms and health care to children under three. The Chinese government places great emphasis on combating HIV/AIDS and has effectively curbed the spread of the AIDS pandemic.

第三，努力促进人口有序流动和合理分布，为流动人口提供同等的公共服务。近几年，中国年均流动人口达1.47亿。我们在全国流动人口聚集地区基本建立了区域协作的有效形式，农民工关怀关爱活动深入开展，流动人口免费计划生育服务覆盖面不断扩大，合法权益得到有效维护。

Thirdly, we have endeavored to facilitate the orderly flow and reasonable distribution of population and to enable migrants to have equal access to public service. The annual migrants in China in recent years have reached 147 million. In places with large concentrations of migrants, we have basically established effective forms of regional cooperation, carried out various activities to provide care for migrant workers from rural areas, continuously expanded free family planning service for migrants and effectively safeguarded their legitimate rights and interests.

第四，坚持实行可持续发展战略，促进人口、资源、环境协调发展。中国政府始终坚持走中国特色的统筹解决人口问题的道路，把稳定人口增长、节约资源、保护环境放在重要的战略地位，努力实现人口、资源、环境的均衡、协调和可持续发展。

Fourthly, we have always followed the strategy of sustainable development in an effort to achieve the coordinated development of population, resources and environment. The Chinese government has all along tried to address the issues of population in an integrated manner in a way that suits our country's specific situation. We place the need to stabilize population growth, conserve resources and protect the environment at an important strategic position in our endeavor to realize the balanced, coordinated and sustainable development of population, resources and the environment.

主席先生，

Mr. President,

中国要最终实现人发大会《行动纲领》目标和千年发展目标，同样面临许多挑战。中国政府将全面落实科学发展观，继续保持低生育率，综合治理出生性别比偏高问题，加强对流动人口的服务和管理，积极应对人口老龄化，大幅度增加教育、医疗、就业、社会保障、城乡住房等方面的投入，加大改善民生工作力度，保障人民安居乐业。同时，中国政府将继续加强和世界各国在人口与发展领域的交流与合作，支持人口基金的工作，为共同促进人发大会目标和千年发展目标的实现而努力。

In realizing the ICPD goals and the MDGs, China also faces numerous difficulties and challenges. In response to these challenges, the Chinese government will implement the scientific outlook on development in a comprehensive manner, continue to maintain a low birth rate, take an integrated approach in addressing the imbalanced sex ratio at birth, strengthen the service for and management of migrant population, take active measures to respond to the issue of population aging, drastically increase investment in education, health care, employment, social security and urban and rural housing, reinforce efforts in improving people's lives so as to ensure a happy life for our people. At the same time, the Chinese government will continue to strengthen exchange and cooperation with other countries of the world in the field of population and development, support the work of UNFPA and contribute to our common effort to promote the realization of the ICPD goals and the MDGs.

谢谢主席先生。

Thank you, Mr. President.
