习近平向韩国人民致以诚挚新年祝福。习近平指出,我和李在明总统已两次见面并实现互访,体现了双方对中韩关系的重视。作为朋友和邻居,中韩应该多走动、常来往、勤沟通。中方始终将中韩关系置于周边外交重要位置,对韩政策保持连续性、稳定性。中方愿同韩方一道,牢牢把握友好合作方向,秉持互利共赢宗旨,推动中韩战略合作伙伴关系沿着健康轨道迈进,切实增进两国人民福祉,为地区乃至世界和平与发展正向赋能。

习近平强调,中韩两国长期坚持“以和为贵”“和而不同”,超越社会制度和意识形态差异,相互成就、共同发展。双方应延续这一优良传统,不断增进互信,尊重各自选择的发展道路,照顾彼此核心利益和重大关切,坚持通过对话协商妥善解决分歧。中共二十届四中全会审议通过“十五五”规划建议,为未来5年中国发展擘画蓝图,也为世界各国提供广阔机遇。中韩经济联系紧密,产业链供应链深度互嵌,合作互惠互利,要加强发展战略对接和政策协调,做大共同利益蛋糕,在人工智能、绿色产业、银发经济等新兴领域打造更多合作成果。双方要增进人员往来,开展青少年、媒体、体育、智库、地方等方面交往,让正面叙事成为民意主流。

习近平指出,当前世界百年变局加速演进,国际形势更加变乱交织。中韩在维护地区和平、促进全球发展方面肩负重要责任,有广泛利益交集,应当坚定站在历史正确一边,作出正确战略选择。80多年前,中韩两国付出巨大民族牺牲,赢得抗击日本军国主义的胜利。今天更应携手捍卫二战胜利成果,守护东北亚和平稳定。作为经济全球化的受益者,中韩要共同反对保护主义,践行真正的多边主义,为推进平等有序的世界多极化、普惠包容的经济全球化作出贡献。

李在明向中国人民致以新年的美好祝福。李在明表示,韩中是近邻,两国关系源远流长。韩中曾共同抗击日本军国主义侵略,韩方感谢中方对韩国在华独立运动旧址的保护。两国建交后,建立密切合作关系,成果丰硕。韩方高度重视对华关系,愿以新的一年首次元首外交为契机,巩固韩中关系全面恢复发展势头,求同存异,深化韩中战略合作伙伴关系,共同开辟两国关系发展新局面。韩方尊重中国核心利益和重大关切,坚持一个中国。韩中经贸合作为各自经济社会发展发挥了积极作用,韩方期待把握中国“十五五”规划带来的机遇,推动两国务实合作取得更多成果。两国应促进国民交流,增进理解互信。韩方愿同中方加强多边协调,为世界繁荣发展作出贡献。预祝中国主办今年亚太经合组织领导人非正式会议取得圆满成功。

BEIJING, Jan. 5 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Lee Jae Myung in Beijing on Monday.

Xi said he and President Lee have met twice and conducted reciprocal visits, reflecting the importance both sides attach to China-ROK relations. As both friends and neighbors, China and the ROK should increase exchanges and maintain frequent communication.

China has consistently placed relations with the ROK high on its regional diplomatic agenda and maintained continuity and stability in its policy toward the ROK, Xi said, adding that China is willing to work with the ROK to firmly uphold the direction of friendly cooperation, adhere to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, promote bilateral strategic partnership along a healthy path, effectively enhance the well-being of both peoples, and contribute positively to regional and global peace and development.

Xi stressed that China and the ROK have long adhered to the principles of valuing peace above all else and advocating harmony without conformity, which have transcended differences in social systems and ideologies to help each other succeed and achieve common development.

Xi called on both sides to continue this fine tradition, enhance mutual trust, respect each other's development paths, accommodate each other's core interests and major concerns, and resolve differences properly through dialogue and consultation.

Xi said the fourth plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China reviewed and adopted the recommendations for formulating the 15th Five-Year Plan, outlining a blueprint for China's development over the next five years and offering broad opportunities for countries worldwide.

China and the ROK share close economic ties with industrial and supply chains deeply interwoven, and the bilateral cooperation is mutually beneficial, Xi said.

He said the two countries should further align their development strategies, strengthen policy coordination, expand the pie of common interests, and achieve more cooperation results in emerging fields such as artificial intelligence, green industries, and the silver economy.

Xi also called on both sides to increase personnel exchanges and promote interactions in areas such as youth, media, sports, think tanks and local governments.

China and the ROK shoulder important responsibilities in maintaining regional peace and promoting global development, and share a wide range of common interests, Xi said, noting that the two countries should firmly stand on the right side of history and make right strategic choices.

More than 80 years ago, the two peoples made tremendous national sacrifices and won the victory against Japanese militarism, Xi said, adding that China and the ROK should join hands to safeguard the fruits of the victory in World War II and protect peace and stability in Northeast Asia.

As beneficiaries of economic globalization, China and the ROK must work together to oppose protectionism and practice true multilateralism, contributing to the advancement of an equal, orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial, inclusive economic globalization, Xi said.

For his part, Lee said the ROK and China are close neighbors with long-standing relations, noting that the two countries fought together against Japanese militarist aggression, and that the ROK side is grateful for China's efforts in preserving the historical sites of the Korean independence movement in China.

The two nations have built close cooperative ties and achieved fruitful results since they established diplomatic relations, Lee said, adding that the ROK attaches great importance to its relations with China. It hopes to use the first head-of-state diplomatic meeting of the year as an opportunity to consolidate the momentum of the comprehensive recovery and development of bilateral relations, seek common ground while reserving differences, deepen the ROK-China strategic cooperative partnership, and open a new chapter of bilateral relations.

He emphasized that the ROK respects China's core interests and major concerns, and adheres to the one-China principle.

Bilateral economic and trade cooperation has played a positive role in the economic and social development of both countries, Lee said, noting that the ROK looks forward to seizing the opportunities brought by China's 15th Five-Year Plan to achieve more results in practical cooperation with China.

He said the two countries should promote people-to-people exchanges, and enhance mutual understanding and trust. The ROK is willing to strengthen its multilateral coordination with China and contribute to global prosperity and development, and wishes China every success in hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Economic Leaders' Meeting.

After their talks, Xi and Lee witnessed the signing of 15 cooperation documents in fields including scientific and technological innovation, ecological environment, transportation, and economic and trade cooperation.

Prior to the talks, Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, held a welcome ceremony for Lee and his wife, Kim Hea Kyung, in the Great Hall of the People. ■
