9月5日下午，國家主席習近平在人民大會堂會見紅十字國際委員會主席斯波利亞里茨。

習近平高度評價紅十字國際委員會成立160年來在國際人道主義方面開展的富有成效的工作，贊賞紅十字國際委員會為世界和平與進步作出的重要貢獻。

習近平指出，當今世界正在經歷百年未有之大變局，人類社會面臨許多挑戰，有些似曾相識，有些是新挑戰。在此形勢下，中國沒有獨善其身，而是同世界各國加強合作，共同探尋解決之道，推動構建人類命運共同體。我提出共建“一帶一路”倡議、全球發展倡議、全球安全倡議、全球文明倡議，就是希望和世界各國一道，實現經濟發展，改善民生，互利共贏，為加強全球治理和人道主義問題治理提供中國理念、中國方案。

習近平強調，人道主義是能夠凝聚不同文明的最大共識。中華傳統文化中包含的“仁者愛人”、“己所不欲，勿施于人”等思想，同國際紅十字運動的宗旨相融相通。中國秉持人民至上理念，打贏了人類歷史上規模最大的脫貧攻堅戰，面對新冠疫情不僅保護本國人民生命安全和身體健康，而且開展了歷史上規模最大的全球人道主義援助行動。事實證明，中國是國際人道主義事業的積極擁護者、參與者和貢獻者。中方愿同紅十字國際委員會進一步密切合作，為促進人類和平與進步事業作出重要貢獻。

斯波利亞里茨表示，祝賀中國成為獲得第49屆南丁格爾獎人數最多的國家，這表明了紅十字國際委員會和國際社會對于中國人道主義事業發展成就的高度認可。中國始終尊重并執行國際人道主義法。共建“一帶一路”促進了世界發展，助力了全球人道主義事業。紅十字國際委員會高度贊賞中方為國際人道主義事業發揮的積極作用和作出的重要貢獻，期待同中方進一步深化合作，共同為促進世界和平發展以及國際人道主義事業作出新的貢獻。

王毅參加會見。

Chinese president meets Red Cross president

Chinese President Xi Jinping met with President of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Mirjana Spoljaric Egger in Beijing on Tuesday.
Xi spoke highly of the international humanitarian work carried out by the ICRC over the past 160 years since its founding and hailed its important contributions to world peace and progress.
Xi noted that the world today is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, and human society is faced with many challenges, some of which are familiar and some are new. Under such circumstances, China is strengthening cooperation with other countries to jointly explore solutions and promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, Xi said.

"I put forward the Belt and Road Initiative, the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative and the Global Civilization Initiative in the hope of working with other countries to achieve economic development, improve people's livelihood, achieve win-win results, and provide Chinese ideas and solutions for strengthening global governance and governance of humanitarian issues," Xi said.
Calling humanitarianism the greatest consensus that is able to unite different civilizations, Xi said the ideas contained in traditional Chinese culture such as "the benevolent man loves others" and "do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you" are in harmony with the mission of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
Upholding the principle of putting the people first, China has won the biggest battle against poverty in human history. In the face of COVID-19, China has not only protected the lives and health of its own people but also launched the largest global humanitarian assistance in history, Xi said.

"Facts have proven that China is an active supporter, participant and contributor to the international humanitarian cause. China is ready to work more closely with the ICRC and make important contributions to human peace and progress," Xi said.

Spoljaric congratulated China on becoming the country with the largest number of recipients of the 49th Florence Nightingale Award, which shows that the ICRC and the international community highly recognize China's humanitarian achievements.
Spoljaric said China has always respected and implemented international humanitarian law, and the Belt and Road Initiative has promoted world development and advanced the global humanitarian cause. She added that the ICRC highly appreciates China's positive role and important contributions to the international humanitarian cause and looks forward to further deepening cooperation with China.
