布林肯国务卿：主席先生，感谢您今天接待我们。拜登总统要我前来北京，因为他认为美国和中国有义务和责任管理好我们之间的关系。美国致力于这样做。这既符合美国的利益，又符合中国的利益，也符合世界的利益。 
过去几天来，我与秦刚国务委员和王毅主任进行了坦诚的、建设性的对话。我们讨论了范围广泛的双边和全球议题。我感谢有此机会与您讨论向前推进的途径。谢谢。

GREAT HALL OF THE PEOPLE
BEIJING, PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA
JUNE 19, 2023
 
PRESIDENT XI:  (Via interpreter) Mr. Secretary, welcome to China.  Director Wang Yi and State Councilor Qin Gang have met or held talks with you at length, and generally speaking the two sides have had candid (inaudible) discussions.  The Chinese side has made our decision clear, and the two sides have agreed to follow through the common understandings President Biden and I had reached in Bali.  The two sides have also made progress and reached agreement on some specific issues.  This is very good.
It’s safe to say that interactions should always be based on mutual respect and sincerity.  I hope that through this visit, Mr. Secretary, you will make more positive contributions to stabilizing China-U.S. relations.
SECRETARY BLINKEN:  Mr. President, thank you for receiving us today.  President Biden asked me to travel to Beijing because he believes that the United States and China have an obligation and responsibility to manage our relationship.  The United States is committed to doing that.  It’s in the interest of the United States, in the interests of China, and in the interest of the world.
Over the past few days I have had candid and constructive conversations with State Councilor Qin Gang and Director Wang Yi.  We covered a broad range of both bilateral and global issues.  I appreciate this opportunity to discuss the way forward with you.  Thank you.

今天发生在喀布尔机场周围的爆炸是个致命的提醒，让我们知道，正当我们结束美国在阿富汗为期20年的军事任务时，我们的军人和外交官正在险境中工作。如总统所说，今天伤亡的军人是英雄。他们将自己的生命置之度外，保护我们的非军事人员、我们的盟友和伙伴的非军事人员、寻求安全保护的美国人、第三国人士以及阿富汗人。截至目前，超过10万人已安全撤离喀布尔，这见证了效力于这一重大使命的所有人的勇气、能力和决心。我们为我们今天失去的生命感到悲痛，并向他们的至爱亲朋表达我们最深切的慰问。 
我们也为失去生命的阿富汗人感到悲痛，他们聚集在机场附近，希望有机会在别的地方开始新生活。我们纪念自2001年以来在阿富汗逝去的2300多名美国军人、受伤的2万多名美国军人、在美国持续时间最久的战争中服役的超过80万名美国军人以及其他在冲突中伤亡的美国人。 
在世界各地，美国海军陆战队保护着美国大使馆和外交官。他们置身危险，让我们得以代表美国人民开展工作。即便在这次袭击发生后，他们眼下在喀布尔还在这样做，正如他们在世界其他许多地方所做的一样。在我们完成此次任务的过程中，他们还将继续坚持。 
今天以及每一天，我们美国国务院的人们对他们心存万分感激。

Today’s bombings around the Kabul airport were a devastating reminder of the dangerous conditions in which our servicemembers and diplomats are operating as we conclude the United States’ 20-year military mission in Afghanistan. As the President said, the servicemembers who were killed and wounded today are heroes. They put their lives on the line to defend our civilian personnel, the civilian personnel of our allies and partners, and Americans, third-country nationals, and Afghans seeking safety. To date, more than 100,000 people have been safely evacuated from Kabul – a testament to the bravery, skill, and determination of all those who are contributing to this vital mission. We grieve those we lost today. And we express our most heartfelt condolences to their loved ones.
We also grieve the loss of Afghans gathered near the airport hoping for a chance to start a new life elsewhere. And we honor the more than 2,300 U.S. servicemembers who have died in Afghanistan since 2001, the more than 20,000 who have been wounded, and the more than 800,000 who have served in America’s longest war, as well as other Americans killed or wounded in the conflict.
Around the world, U.S. Marines protect American embassies and diplomats. They put themselves in harm’s way so that we can do our jobs on behalf of the American people. Even after the attack, they are doing that right now in Kabul, as they are in so many other parts of the world. And they will continue to do so as we complete this mission.
We at the State Department feel an extraordinary debt of gratitude to them, today and every day.

关于北朝鲜会谈的新闻声明
朝鲜代表团之前的评论没有反映出今天8.5小时讨论的内容或精神。美国带来了创新性的想法，并与朝鲜对口官员进行了很好的讨论。
在会谈过程中，美国代表团回顾了自新加坡峰会以来的事件，并讨论了更深入的接触对解决双方关切的许多问题的重要性。
美国代表团提供了一些新倡议的预览，这些倡议将使我们能够在新加坡联合声明的四个支柱中的每一个方面取得进展。
在我们讨论的尾声，美方提议接受我们瑞典东道主的邀请，在两周之后回到斯德哥尔摩再次举行会晤，以便继续有关所有这些话题的讨论。美国代表团已接受了这份邀请。
美国和朝鲜无法在周六一天的时间里克服韩朝半岛70年遗留下来的战争状态和敌意。这些是重大的问题，它们要求两国有强有力的决心。美国有这份决心。
美国非常感谢我们在瑞典外交部的东道主提供场所和机会让这些讨论得以进行。

Press Statement on North Korean Talks
The early comments from the DPRK delegation do not reflect the content or the spirit of today’s 8 1/2 hour discussion. The U.S. brought creative ideas and had good discussions with its DPRK counterparts.
In the course of the discussions, the U.S. delegation reviewed events since the Singapore summit, and discussed the importance of more intensive engagement to solve the many issues of concern for both sides.
The U.S. delegation previewed a number of new initiatives that would allow us to make progress in each of the four pillars of the Singapore joint statement.
At the conclusion of our discussions, the United States proposed to accept the invitation of our Swedish hosts to return to Stockholm to meet again in two weeks time, in order to continue discussions on all of the topics. The United States delegation has accepted this invitation.
The United States and the DPRK will not overcome a legacy of 70 years of war and hostility on the Korean Peninsula through the course of a single Saturday. These are weighty issues, and they require a strong commitment by both countries. The United States has that commitment.
The United States is deeply grateful to our hosts at the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs for having provided a venue and an opportunity for these discussions to occur.

Spokesperson Ortagus Holds a Press Briefing

2019年10月24日
国际宇航联大会（IAC）为国际社会提供了前所未有和无与伦比的机会，聚在一起以促进在太空科学、应用、探索和全球太空行业方面的合作。2019年的国际宇航联大会特别重要，因为它是对50年前史无前例的登月的庆祝。美国认识到太空合作的重要性，并鼓励非常广泛地参与和出席本年度的国际宇航联大会。
美国拒绝接受中国外交部对美国对华签证政策毫无依据、无事实根据的描述。由于按照美国法律，签证记录是保密的，因此我们无法讨论签证个案，但我们可以确认中国代表团出席了本次会议。
更广泛地说，我们注意到，美国驻华使团仅在上一个财政年度就签发了超过130万份签证。我们在中国的使领馆是世界上签证发放量最大的使领馆之一。

State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus
October 24, 2019
The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) offers an unprecedented and unmatched opportunity for the international community to come together to advance cooperation in space science, applications, exploration and in the global space industry.  The 2019 IAC is particularly important in that it is a celebration of the unprecedented landing on the Moon 50 years ago. The United States recognizes the importance of space cooperation and has encouraged very broad participation and attendance at this year’s IAC.
The United States rejects the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s unfounded and baseless characterization of U.S. visa policies toward China. We cannot discuss individual visa cases since visa records are confidential under U.S. law, but we can confirm that the Chinese delegation is in attendance at the conference.
More broadly, we note that the U.S. Mission to China issued more than 1.3 million visas in the last fiscal year alone. Our posts in China are some of the largest visa issuing posts in the world.
Ambassador Branstad commemorates the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia 
布兰斯塔德大使纪念“反对同性恋恐惧症、跨性别恐惧症和双性恋恐惧症国际日”
5月17日，美国驻华大使馆纪念“反对同性恋恐惧症、跨性别恐惧症和双性恋恐惧症国际日”。1990年的同一天，世界卫生组织投票将同性恋从其精神病名单中移除。1973年，美国精神病学协会——世界上最大的精神病学组织——历史性地发布了一项决议，声明同性恋不是精神病。
这一天庆祝我们为我们的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性者和跨性别者（LGBTI）家庭成员、朋友、邻居、同事和同胞们在走向平等与正义方面取得的进步。这一天也要检验我们能够采取的步骤，以结束基于性别（包括性别认同）、性取向和其他类别而针对人们的歧视，并反对基于上述针对他们的骚扰和暴力。
令我感到鼓舞的是，越来越多的中国公民选择宽容和包容的道路，并支持打击对LGBTI社群歧视的努力。像许多在美国相似的公民一样，他们倡导LGBTI个人的权利，他们勇于说出寻求接纳和反对歧视的挑战。
这是一个重要的日子，也恰当地提醒我们仍然要做的工作，以反对人们仅仅因为他们的身份就受到歧视和暴力威胁。 让我们共同努力，结束这种不容忍，为我们的朋友、家人和邻居创造一个包容的环境。

Ambassador Branstad commemorates the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia
On May 17, the U.S. Embassy in China marks the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia.  This commemoration coincides with the day in 1990 when the World Health Organization voted to remove homosexuality from its list of mental disorders.  In 1973, the American Psychiatric Association — the largest psychiatric organization in the world – made history by issuing a resolution stating that homosexuality was not a mental illness.
This is a day to celebrate advances we have made toward equality and justice for our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) family members, friends, neighbors, co-workers, and fellow citizens.  It is also a day to examine the steps we can take to end discrimination and counter harassment and violence directed toward persons on the basis of sex (including gender identity), sexual orientation, and other categories.
I am encouraged that a growing number of Chinese citizens are choosing a path of tolerance and inclusivity and that they support efforts to combat discrimination against the LGBTI community.  Like many similar citizens in the United States, they advocate for the rights of LGBTI individuals, and they are courageous in speaking out about the challenges of finding acceptance and fighting discrimination.
This is an important day and a fitting reminder of the work remaining to counter discrimination and threats of violence against people just because of who they are.  Let’s all work together to end such intolerance and create an inclusive environment for our friends, family, and neighbors.

世界人权日声明
美国值此世界人权日（International Human Rights Day），颂扬1948年《世界人权宣言》（Universal Declaration of Human Rights）确定的权利与自由。美国人与这一天有着特殊共鸣，因为美国是第一个基于这一信念而建立的国家：所有人都生而平等并被造物主赋予某些不可剥夺的权利。的确，是美国第一夫人召集举行的制定1948年《宣言》的联合国会议。
在特朗普（Trump）政府领导下，国务院为促进和保护不可剥夺的权利发挥了领导作用。今年早些时候，国务院发布了天赋权利委员会（Commission on Unalienable Rights）报告，重申美国对尊重和保护人权一直承担，并且将永远承担责无旁贷的角色。从新疆到拉各斯（Lagos）、明斯克（Minsk）和伊斯兰堡（Islamabad），我们在全球各地显示了我们对那些为自身天赋权利和做人的尊严而斗争的所有人的强大支持。
历史显示，尊重人权和维护所有人的尊严的治国方式让世界更加安全和更加繁荣。但是，历史也告诉我们，必须时刻警惕保护人权。今天，美国重申我们的承诺，永远与为争取自身权利而奋斗的人站在一起，并且敦促所有国家维护我们所有人珍惜的人权。

International Human Rights Day  
On International Human Rights Day, the United States celebrates the rights and freedoms enshrined in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This day has a special resonance for Americans, as the United States was the first nation founded on the belief that all individuals are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights. Indeed, it was an American First Lady who convened the United Nations conference that created the 1948 Declaration.
Under the Trump Administration, the State Department has taken a leading role in the promotion and protection of unalienable rights. Earlier this year, the Department released the report of the Commission on Unalienable Rights, which reaffirms the indispensable role the United States has, and will always play, in the respect and protection of human rights.  And around the world, we have demonstrated strong support for those fighting for their unalienable rights and human dignity, from Xinjiang to Lagos, Minsk to Islamabad.
History demonstrates that governance that respects human rights and upholds the dignity of all human beings makes the world a safer and more prosperous place. But history also teaches that human rights must always be vigilantly protected. Today, the United States reasserts our commitment to stand always in solidarity with those fighting for their rights, and urges all nations to safeguard the human rights we all cherish.

今天，国际原子能机构（IAEA）理事会通过了一项决议，呼吁伊朗向IAEA检查人员提供检查人员要求、且伊朗有义务提供的信息和设施核查许可。伊朗拒绝IAEA检查人员核查其设施，拒绝配合IAEA调查，这令人深为担忧，并让人们对伊朗究竟试图隐瞒什么产生严重疑问。过去数月来，伊朗不仅仍在继续其核升级和敲诈，还对IAEA进行阻挠。这些行动是不可接受的，同时也凸显了伊朗核项目对国际和平和安全构成的威胁。
伊朗到目前为止没有表现出缩减其核项目扩张的意图，而且几个月来一直拒绝为国际原子能机构提供进行关键核查所需的回答和设施进入许可。正如国际原子能机构理事会今天所明确指出的，伊朗必须立即履行其国际原子能机构项下的保障监督义务，并与国际原子能机构进行全面合作。如果伊朗不配合，国际社会必须随时准备采取进一步行动。
美国仍然致力于拒绝让伊朗有任何途径获得核武器，并将通过国际原子能机构理事会向该机构提供其解决这些严重问题所需的支持。伊朗在法律上有义务回答国际原子能机构的问题，并提供所需的设施进入许可。鉴于伊朗先前秘密研制核武器的行为，它必须以可被核查的方式证明其已永久放弃了所有这类努力。我们寻求通过外交途径全面解决对伊朗核问题的关切，而这必须建立在有效核查的基础上。

Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Today, the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) adopted a resolution calling on Iran to provide IAEA inspectors the information and access they have requested and that Iran is obligated to provide. Iran’s denial of access to IAEA inspectors and refusal to cooperate with the IAEA’s investigation is deeply troubling and raises serious questions about what Iran is trying to hide. Over the past months, Iran has not only continued its nuclear escalation and extortion, but it has also stonewalled the IAEA. These actions are unacceptable and underscore the continued threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program to international peace and security.
Iran has so far shown no intention of curtailing the ongoing expansion of its nuclear program and for months has refused to provide the answers and access required for the IAEA to conduct its critical verification work. As the IAEA Board made clear today, Iran must immediately comply with its IAEA safeguards obligations and provide the IAEA nothing short of full cooperation. If Iran fails to cooperate, the international community must be prepared to take further action.
The United States remains committed to denying Iran any pathway to a nuclear weapon and will work through the IAEA’s Board of Governors to provide the IAEA the support it needs to resolve these serious matters. Iran is legally obligated to answer the IAEA’s questions and provide the required accesses. Given Iran’s prior covert nuclear weapons effort, it is imperative that Iran verifiably demonstrate that it has permanently abandoned all such work. We seek a comprehensive diplomatic solution to addressing nuclear concerns in Iran, a solution that must be built on effective verification.

美国国务院于今天终止了与中华人民共和国开展的五项被伪装成“文化交流”的项目，包括：政策制定者中国教育旅行计划(Policymakers Educational China Trip Program)、美中友谊计划(U.S.-China Friendship Program)、美中领导者交流计划(U.S.-China Leadership Exchange Program)、美中跨太平洋交流计划(U.S.-China Transpacific Exchange Program)以及香港教育与文化计划(Hong Kong Educational and Cultural Program) 。
这些根据美国《相互教育与文化交流法》（MECEA）第108A条执行的项目允许美国政府雇员使用外国政府资金进行差旅。
其他依照《相互教育与文化交流法》获得经费支持的项目都是互惠性的，而上述五个项目却是由中华人民共和国作为其软实力宣传工具来进行全额资助和运作的。这些项目使得参与者只能接触到精心策划选出的中国共产党官员，而非那些并不享有言论和集会自由的中国人民。美国欢迎与中华人民共和国官员和中国人民开展的对等、公平的文化交流项目，但如上所述的单方面项目并非互惠性的。

Michael R. Pompeo, Secretary of State
Today, the Department of State terminated five programs, disguised as “cultural exchanges,” with the People’s Republic of China (PRC). These programs include the Policymakers Educational China Trip Program, the U.S.-China Friendship Program, the U.S.-China Leadership Exchange Program, and the U.S.-China Transpacific Exchange Program and the Hong Kong Educational and Cultural Program. Such programs, conducted under Section 108A of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act (MECEA), allow U.S. government employees to travel using foreign government funds.
While other programs funded under the auspices of the MECEA are mutually beneficial, the five programs in question are fully funded and operated by the PRC government as soft power propaganda tools. They provide carefully curated access to Chinese Communist Party officials, not to the Chinese people, who do not enjoy freedoms of speech and assembly. The United States welcomes the reciprocal and fair exchange of cultural programs with PRC officials and the Chinese people, but one-way programs such as these are not mutually beneficial.
