2023 年 8 月 23 日，西里尔·拉马福萨总统在金砖国家领导人第十五次会晤文化演出和国宴上致欢迎辞：

尊敬的金砖国家领导人，

尊敬的非洲各国领导人，

尊敬的南半球国家领导人，各位

全球和地区机构代表，

尊敬的各位部长，

各位阁下，

尊敬的来宾，

晚上好。

感谢您接受我的邀请，今晚加入我们，庆祝我们在一起度过的一个夜晚，我相信您会感到快乐和愉快。

这也是我们感谢您在明天的金砖国家外展计划之前加入金砖国家的夜晚。

金砖国家集团融合了超过30亿人民的民族、文化和传统。

我们因共同的愿景和共同的目标而团结在一起。

我们的多样性是我们最大的优势，今晚您将体验南非丰富的文化、传统和美食。

今晚我们的主厨是WandileMabaso，他是一位世界级厨师，将经典的法国技术与南非的美妙风味完美结合。

XolaniMancotywa是一位合格的饮料管理员和厨师，他重新演绎了传统的非洲美食和正宗的非洲美食。

您的南非美食之旅将伴随着我们国家多元文化的文化之旅。

我们希望今晚您将体验南非的故事，这个故事将我们许多不同的文化、传统和语言交织在一起，成为一个包容性国家的基础。

这个故事反映了金砖国家本着开放、团结的精神，重视伙伴关系与合作的本质和宗旨。

作为金砖国家——以及今晚与我们一起参加的许多国家的各位阁下——我们明天将阐明我们将如何促进世界变革，造福世界各国人民。

今晚是我们作为金砖国家伙伴更有理由庆祝的夜晚。

几个小时前的今天下午，印度创造了历史，成为第一个在月球南极成功着陆登月舱的国家。

我们祝贺莫迪总理、印度政府和人民以及印度空间研究组织“月船三号”任务取得成功。

推动科学事业的前沿是人类进步不可或缺的一部分。

期待这一伟大成就，莫迪总理今天下午在金砖国家领导人会晤上提出，金砖国家应该成立太空探索委员会，金砖国家可以在其中分享知识和经验。

我们对我们所生活的这个世界及其之外的世界了解得越多，我们改善这个世界和改善人类状况的能力就越强。

用伟大诗人、诺贝尔奖获得者罗宾德拉纳特·泰戈尔的话来说：

“我们身处一座没有尽头的宫殿，但我们已经到达了。通过探索它并扩展我们与它的关系，我们正在使它越来越成为我们自己的。”

这项成就和许多其他成就使我们能够走向繁荣、进步与和平。

再次欢迎并请享受这个团结、多样性和共同进步的庆祝活动。

我谢谢你。

由南非共和国总统公布

Your Excellencies, Leaders of the BRICS nations,

Your Excellencies, Leaders from across Africa,

Your Excellencies, Leaders of the Global South,

Representatives of global and regional institutions,

Honourable Ministers,

Excellencies,

Distinguished Guests,

Good Evening.

Thank you for accepting my invitation to join us tonight as we celebrate being together on a night which I trust you will find joyful and pleasant.

It is also a night when we thank you for joining the BRICS countries prior to tomorrow’s BRICS Outreach programme.

The BRICS group of countries incorporates the peoples, cultures and traditions of more than 3 billion people.

We are united by our common vision and common goals.

Our diversity is our greatest strength, and tonight you will get to experience the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions and foods of South Africa.

Our head chef tonight is Wandile Mabaso, a world class chef who pairs classical French techniques with the wonderful flavours of South Africa.

He is joined by Xolani Mancotywa, a qualified beverage steward and chef who has reimagined traditional African cuisine and authentic African fine dining.

Your culinary journey of South Africa follows a cultural journey across our nation’s diverse cultures.

We hope that this evening you will experience South Africa’s story, one that interweaves our many different cultures, traditions and languages as the foundation of an inclusive nation.

It is a story that reflects the nature and purpose of BRICS, which values partnership and cooperation in a spirit of openness and solidarity.

As BRICS – and all of Your Excellencies who have joined us tonight from many countries – we will all tomorrow articulate how we will foster change in the world for the benefit of all the peoples of the world.

Tonight is a night when we even more reason to celebrate as BRICS partners.

A few hours ago this afternoon, India made history as the first country to successfully land a lunar module on the south pole of the Moon.

We congratulate Prime Minister Modi, the government and people of India and the Indian Space Research Organisation on the success of the Chandraayan-3 mission.

Pushing forward the frontiers of scientific endeavour is integral to human progress.

In anticipation of this great achievement Prime Minister Modi proposed at our BRICS Summit this afternoon that BRICS should set up a Space Exploration Commission where, as BRICS countries, we can share knowledge and experiences.

The more we learn about this world we live in and beyond, the greater our capacity to improve it and to elevate the human condition.

In the words of the great poet and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore:

“We are in a palace which has no end, but which we have reached. By exploring it and extending our relationship with it, we are ever making it more and more our own.”

This and many other achievements enable us to move forward to prosperity, to progress and to peace.

Once again welcome and please do enjoy this celebration of unity, diversity and shared progress.

I thank you.

ISSUED BY THE PRESIDENCY OF THE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA
