Question: It is reported that the PLAN Ark Peace hospital ship is carrying out Mission Harmony-2024, providing humanitarian medical services to countries it visited. Please update us on the mission.
张晓刚：执行“和谐使命-2024”任务的海军“和平方舟”号医院船，已到访了塞舌尔、坦桑尼亚，正驶向下一站马达加斯加。访塞期间，“和平方舟”单日接诊人数近1200人，离开时当地民众一家三口自驾小艇赶来送行，场景感人。访问坦桑尼亚期间，一个6斤重的男婴在医院船接生，这也是此次任务中的首个“和平宝宝”。
Zhang Xiaogang: The PLAN Ark Peace hospital ship’s Mission Harmony-2024 has taken it to Seychelles and Tanzania, and it is now heading for Madagascar. During Ark Peace’s stay in Seychelles, the number of people receiving medical treatment reached nearly 1200 per day. When the ship departed, a local family of three came to say farewell in their own small boat. During Ark Peace’s anchorage in Tanzania, a baby weighing 6 jin(3 kg) was born on the ship, being the first “peace baby” for this year’s mission.
医院船为到访国民众提供免费诊疗服务外，还派医疗队赴当地医院、社区、学校开展联合巡诊、学术交流与文化联谊等活动。这是中国海军践行全球安全倡议、服务构建海洋命运共同体的生动实践，也将增进中国与有关国家的传统友谊。
Apart from providing free diagnoses and treatment to local people, the hospital ship also sent medical teams to local hospitals, communities and schools to provide medical services and conduct academic exchanges and cultural activities. This mission is a vivid demonstration of the earnest efforts made by the PLAN to implement the Global Security Initiative and build a maritime community of shared future. It will also deepen the traditional friendship between China and relevant countries.
