对于朝鲜半岛的局势，我不能避而不谈。近来，半岛局势加剧，在大规模冲突的边缘飘忽不定。俄罗斯认为，那种“只有通过对平壤施压才能制止朝鲜核导计划”的算计是错误的，也是没有前景的。应当在不提出任何前提条件的基础上，通过所有相关方进行直接对话的途径解决地区问题。挑衅、施压，以及好战和侮辱性的言辞——都是站不住脚的。

Russia and China have created a roadmap for a settlement on the Korean Peninsula that is designed to promote the gradual easing of tensions and the creation of a mechanism for lasting peace and security.

我们同中国同事一起制定了调解朝鲜半岛局势的“路线图”，目的是促使紧张局势得到阶段性的缓和，继而创建一个可靠的和平与安全机制。

Russia also calls for promoting the interaction of the BRICS countries in the area of global information security. We propose joining our efforts to create a legal basis for cooperation and subsequently to draft and adopt universal rules of responsible behaviour of states in this sphere. A major step towards this goal would be the signing of an intergovernmental BRICS agreement on international information security.

俄罗斯主张，扩大金砖国家在全球信息安全领域的合作。我们建议，共同制定相应的合作国际法框架，将来制定并采纳各国在该领域有负责任的行为普适原则。我们迈出的重要一步，有可能就是签署金砖国家在国际信息安全领域的政府间协议。

I would like to point out that on Russia’s initiative a BRICS Strategy for Economic Partnership was adopted at the Ufa Summit in 2015 and is being successfully implemented. We hope to be able to discuss new large-scale cooperation tasks in trade and investment and industrial cooperation at the Xiamen Summit.

大家记得，2015年，在俄罗斯的倡议下，在乌法会晤上通过并成功实施了《金砖国家经济伙伴战略》。我们期望在厦门即将举行的会晤上，在贸易、投资、生产合作领域，对于新的大型合作目标展开讨论。

Russia is interested in promoting economic cooperation within the BRICS format. Considerable practical achievements have been recently reported in this area, primarily the launch of the New Development Bank (NDB). It has approved seven investment projects in the BRICS countries worth around $1.5 billion. This year, the NDB is to approve a second package of investment projects worth $2.5-$3 billion in total. I am convinced that their implementation will not only be a boost to our economies but will also promote integration between our countries.

我国对深化金砖五国的经济协作保持关注，最近在这方面也取得了实际的进展。首先我要提到的是，新开发银行开始了经营活动，已经批准了7个在金砖国家内实施的投资项目，总造价约为15亿美元。今年，新开发银行还将批准第二批总价为25-30亿美元的投资项目。我相信，这些项目的实施不仅会促进经济的增长，还将有助于我们各国之间的进一步融合。
