Ning Fukui's Life Experience

Become attached to the Korean peninsula

From 65438 to 0955, Ning Fukui was born in an ordinary worker's family in Tianjin. 1970 entered Tianjin foreign language school. At the end of 1972, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs went to the school to recruit students, and Ning Fukui and more than 20 other students were selected to study abroad. He was organizationally assigned to study Korean in the Korean Department of Kim Il Sung University in North Korea. Recalling the scene at that time, Ning Fukui still remembers it vividly: "I was the first to leave school. When we crossed the Yalu River into North Korea by train, we saw many huge Korean slogans, but we didn't know a word. Later, after four years of hard work, I mastered Korean very skillfully. "

65438-0976 entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and began his diplomatic career. Later, he worked in the embassy in North Korea twice and worked there for 9 years. He told reporters that during his 33-year diplomatic career, he spent most of his time working on the Korean Peninsula. He has served as deputy director, director and deputy director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the end of March, 2009, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added the Department of Border and Ocean Affairs, with Ning Fukui, a senior diplomat who has been in charge of Asian affairs for a long time, as the director.

Go to Cambodia and Korea.

From 2000 to 2003, Ning Fukui was appointed as the Ambassador to Cambodia. Came to Cambodia, engaged in Korean Peninsula affairs for a long time, and came to a brand-new country. Ning Fukui told reporters: "China-Cambodia friendly relations go back to ancient times, and the friendship between the two peoples is profound. The two governments can understand each other and respect each other's domestic and foreign policies and relevant positions. When I first arrived in Cambodia, the civil war in Cambodia had just ended, political stability and economic reconstruction began. China has provided a lot of economic assistance to Cambodia to help them build roads and hydropower stations. Due to the lack of electricity in Cambodia at that time, the Kirilon Hydropower Station aided by China was the only hydropower station in Cambodia at that time, which was of great significance. "

In September 2005, Ning Fukui went to South Korea and returned to the familiar Korean Peninsula. He described the development of China-ROK relations as "short time, rapid development, great achievements and good prospects". During his three years as ambassador to Korea, the two heads of state exchanged visits many times and high-level exchanges were frequent. Ambassador Ning told reporters that the trade volume between the two countries reached US$ 654.38+08 billion in 2008, and China has become the largest trading partner of South Korea. People-to-people exchanges are also increasingly active, with about 5 million people coming and going. In 2008, China-ROK relations stood at a new historical starting point, and the formal establishment of China-ROK strategic cooperative partnership pushed bilateral relations into a new stage of development.

Experience the Six-Party Talks on the Korean Nuclear Issue

It is particularly worth mentioning that Ning Fukui also directly participated in the relevant negotiations on the DPRK nuclear issue and made efforts to realize the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. From 65438 to 0999, Ning Fukui was the deputy head of the China delegation to the four-party talks on the Korean Peninsula held in Geneva. In 2002, the second North Korean nuclear issue broke out again. At the end of 2003, he was appointed as the Ambassador for Korean Peninsula Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, devoted to the work related to the Six-Party Talks, and often appeared in the global vision. As the leader of the Chinese working group, he participated in the second and third rounds of six-party talks and the first phase of the fourth round of six-party talks, and was often ordered to visit relevant countries and carry out frequent shuttle diplomatic activities.

As the Ambassador for Korean Peninsula Affairs, he is responsible for the internal preparation and external coordination of the Six-Party Talks. Due to the complexity of the DPRK nuclear issue and heavy tasks, he often works overtime and sometimes simply sleeps in the office. Going abroad for consultation is also a very hard thing. Ambassador Ning sometimes flies from Beijing to Moscow and Washington, and returns to Beijing in three or four days. The tension of the schedule can be imagined. Ambassador Ning told the reporter that in a meeting in 2005, they did not leave the meeting place for 10 days and held talks and consultations around the clock, which laid an important foundation for the success of the next round of talks.

Tighten the fence for the motherland

The staff of the Ministry of Border and Maritime Affairs are diplomats who walk along the border, sometimes called "people who fence for the motherland". They are responsible for determining and managing the boundary line of the motherland, accurately recording the position of the boundary line in the treaty in black and white, carefully enclosing the motherland with boundary markers, and running around dense jungles, oxygen-deficient plateaus and barren Gobi for many years.

He said: "This is a sacred work, a responsibility to the country, the nation and history, and is closely related to safeguarding the country's sovereignty, security and development interests. With a firm political stance, excellent business and meticulous style, he is our border diplomat. "
