你知道我们国家日前刚与哪个国家建交吗？
中国在国际社会中的有哪些重要地位？
“一带一路”倡议的提出带来了哪些机遇？
一场干货满满的讲座引得现场同学频频发声，收获颇丰。
3月29日，我们迎来了本学期的首场大使讲座。原中华人民共和国驻加蓬共和国特命全权大使, 中国资深外交官、外交部翻译专家孙继文大使以“‘一带一路’倡议为你带来无限的发展机遇”为主题，从古至今帮助同学们深刻理解了“一带一路”倡议的意义和目的，也让大家更加了解当前国际形势。
大连、成都、运城分盟校一同在线上聆听了此次讲座。
“一带一路”倡议的提出，推进了中国与连线国家的经济发展，也为世界贡献了应对挑战、创造机遇、强化信心的智慧与力量。从古代丝绸之路瓷器、茶叶与香料等货物的流通，到如今已经与32个国际组织、150余个国家开展了3000多个合作项目，在孙大使的讲述下，一个日渐强大、友好邻邦的国家形象跃然眼前。
“大家都知道，中国是安理会的常任理事国，那么大家知道安理会有几个常任理事国吗？”
“5个！”台下一位同学踊跃发言道。
“那常任理事国和其他非常任理事国在权利上最大的区别是什么？”孙大使继续提问。
“一票否决权！”同学马上回答。
整个讲座，孙大使以互动问答的形式缓缓讲述，而同学们的知识广博和自信发言，也让孙大使赞赏不已。比如，在谈到外交官的数量时，孙大使就日前的新闻随即提问日前哪个国家宣布与中国建交了？现场先是沉默了一秒，但马上有几个声音不约而同地说道“洪都拉斯”，得到大使肯定之后，现场响起了阵阵掌声。
孙大使表示，“一带一路”倡议的提出也为同学们的发展提供了机遇，随着全球化的不断深入，我们对出色外交官的需求也越来越大，与此同时各大国际组织中也需要强有力的中国成员加入，去向世界发出我们的声音。不仅如此还有很多海外企业、孔子学院乃至维和部队，都是巨大的人才缺口，这都为学生们的发展提供了很多新的思路。
那作为一名学生应该怎样去做呢？孙大使说首先要关心国家大事、关心天下大事，尤其是涉及到我国核心利益的事件，要坚决捍卫我国的国家主权。其次孙大使也向同学们强调了语言的重要性。作为一所国际化学校，双语乃至多语是我们的特色，也印证了我们身上肩负的世界交流的责任，这是语言的价值，也是我们作为青年人的价值。
听过孙大使的讲座后，同学们也产生了很多思考，有位同学现场提问，如果想去非洲地区工作，作为一名高中生应该如何准备，需要具备那种能力呢？还有同学问孙大使法语难不难学？孙大使一一解答了同学们的疑问，还结合自己的经历为同学们讲述了很多工作上的故事。同学们表示，每次开展这样的活动大家的思维都会更加开阔，学习的目标感也会更加明确。
上学期，北京王府公益基金会、北京王府学校、外交礼宾服务中心达成战略合作, 共同举办“未来外交官”青少年外交人才培养系列活动，通过大使进校园系列讲座，以及使馆、文化中心、国际组织实地参访系列活动，推动国际理解教育实践探索。
继上学期刘碧伟大使，为近千名王府学校师生带来的“一名外交官的使命与担当”的讲座之后，本学期孙大使的“‘一带一路’倡议为你带来无限的发展机遇”为该活动的第二场系列讲座。
今后，我们还将组织更多丰富的活动，聆听外交官讲述不同国家文化风情，增强互动体验性，在专家的带领下提升同学们的青年使命。
On March 29, Beijing Royal School hosted a lecture of the ‘Ambassadors Attend Campus’ Series of Activities and welcomed Ambassador Sun Jiwen to our campus. Ambassador Sun Jiwen is the former Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People's Republic of China to the Republic of Gabon, a senior Chinese diplomat and expert translator for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. His presentation was themed ‘The Belt and Road Initiative Brings Infinite Opportunities.’ BRS senior- and junior-high students attended the lecture, and students from BRS’s branch campuses in Dalian, Chengdu and Yuncheng also participated via video link.
Ambassador Sun provided an inspiring lecture about the importance of possessing diplomacy skills especially with the development of the Belt and Road Initiative and the increasing globalization. He told our students that key qualities a diplomat should possess will include global mindedness and loyalty to the country, as well as necessary multi-linguistic competence.
In the interactive Q&A session, students actively interacted with, asking questions such as, “How should I study if I want to work in an African country?” and “How should I learn if I want to expand the boundaries of my language?” Ambassador Sun praised our students for their international perspectives and unique insights.
Developing diplomacy skills reflects on BRS's guidelines on fostering international talents, as we strive to prepare our students to thrive in the international arena, to share the stories of China and to assume their place as guardians of the future. The school focuses on strengthening the education for international understanding by inviting diplomats on campus to give lectures, hiring senior diplomats to preside over student development, as well as organizing various campus activities such as international events and debate competitions.
Last year, Beijing Royal School established a strategic partnership with the Diplomatic Protocol Service Center and Beijing Royal Charity Foundation in a joint effort to promote the Youth Education for International Understanding and the Training of the Future Diplomats Talent. We are confident that the concerted efforts of the three parties will better promote BRS to achieve its school goal.
