1.FIRST WIND TURBINES READY TO SHIP TO EGYPT

中国电建埃及500MW风电项目首批风电机组发运

In the 10 years since the Belt-and-Road Initiative was proposed, China has been shipping wind turbines【涡轮机】 to participating countries. Today, the parts of what will become the largest wind farm in Africa have been loaded onto a cargo ship. Once assembled, the wind turbines will provide electricity to almost 1 million residents in Cairo, Egypt. Sun Siqi has the story.

自“一带一路”倡议提出以来的10年里，中国一直在向参与国家出口风电机组。今天（10/11），用以打造非洲最大风电场的部分零部件已被装上货船。组装完毕后，这些风力发电机将为埃及开罗市近100万居民供电。本台记者孙思齐带来详细报道。

At the port of Lyusigang in Nantong, the first 7 wind turbines were being loaded.

在南通市吕四港，第一批7台风电设备正在装载中。

“塔筒总共是28节、主机是7个。总共包括叶片21片。”

“That is 28 tower parts, 7 turbines and 21 blades.”

Each blade【叶片】 is 84 meters in length, or about the height of a 30-story building.

每片叶片长84米，约相当于30层楼的高度。

The port is being developed in the direction of a specialty dock for general cargo, like the parts being shipped this time.

吕四港正致力于发展成普通货物专用码头，如这次运输的风电设备零部件。

For this particular shipment, the port has made ample preparations.

对于这次的装运，港口做好了充分的准备工作。

“我们精心准备，包括这个重件的抬吊、包括超长叶片的起吊，双机抬吊协同作业等方面做了大量要求，确保这个船期能够及时（发运）。”

“We have a step-by-step procedure on how to lift the heavy parts, how to load the oversized blades, and how to operate the twin cranes, all to make sure the ship sets sail on time.”

Loading was completed this afternoon and the ship Dadanxia will sail tomorrow for Adabiya Port in Egypt. Another 5 ships will carry the remaining 35 turbines.

装载工作已于今天下午完成，明天“大丹霞”号将驶往埃及阿达比亚港。另外。还有5艘船将运输剩下的35台风电设备。

Once the turbines and booster stations are assembled and completed, the wind farm will produce electricity at an output of 500-megawatts. The project is part of the Egyptian government's plan to have renewable energy make up 42 percent of its total by 2035.

风电机和升压站组装完成后，风电场的发电量将达到500兆瓦。该项目是埃及政府综合可持续能源战略计划中的一部分，到2035年，埃及42%的电力供应将来自可再生能源。

联合国人权理事会成立于2006年，负责促进和保护人权，总部设于瑞士日内瓦。理事会47名成员中每年更换约三分之一，因此理事会成员的三年任期交错排列，以保持连续性。

“Anyone who has been to China and anyone without prejudice knows that people of all ethnic groups in China's Xinjiang live in harmony, Xizang has achieved economic and social prosperity and progress, and people in Hong Kong enjoy extensive rights and freedoms in accordance with the law. Any lies about China are self-defeating in the face of these facts.”

Dai called on all parties to fully respect that all countries have the right to choose their own path of advancing human rights based on their own national conditions. He also called for the joint opposition to the politicization human rights in order to interfere in other countries' internal affairs, or in an attempt to contain other countries' development.

戴兵呼吁各方充分尊重各国根据本国国情自主选择人权发展道路，共同反对将人权问题政治化，坚决反对以人权为借口干涉别国内政，围堵遏制别国发展。
