柬埔寨副总理兼外交部长布拉·索贡周六在第81届联合国大会一般性辩论上表示,柬埔寨寻求与泰国争端的“公平持久”解决,并敦促尊重国家主权平等原则。
Cambodia seeks a “fair and lasting” settlement of its disputes with Thailand and presses for respect for the sovereign equality of states, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Prak Sokhonn told the 81st session of the UN General Assembly on Saturday.
布拉指出,近期柬泰之间的紧张局势和冲突“严重侵蚀了互信”,呼吁全面落实双方达成的协议,并通过联合边界委员会尽快恢复勘界立界工作。
Prak said recent tensions and conflict between Cambodia and Thailand had “seriously eroded trust and confidence,” calling for the full implementation of agreements reached between the two neighbors and the prompt resumption of survey and demarcation work through their Joint Boundary Commission.
他表示,超过2万名柬埔寨平民仍无法返乡,呼吁在解决悬而未决的边界问题上取得进展。关于海上争端,布拉说,泰国终止2001年备忘录后,柬埔寨已根据《联合国海洋法公约》(UNCLOS)启动强制调解程序。
He said more than 20,000 Cambodian civilians remained unable to return home and called for progress toward resolving outstanding boundary issues. On the countries’ maritime dispute, Prak said Cambodia had initiated compulsory conciliation proceedings under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) after Thailand terminated a 2001 memorandum governing the issue.
他说:“柬泰双方都将从公平持久的解决中获益,”并补充说金边继续寻求基于“和平、合作与相互尊重”的对曼谷关系。布拉还强调主权平等是国际关系的基本原则。
“Both Cambodia and Thailand stand to gain from a fair and lasting settlement,” he said, adding that Phnom Penh continues to seek relations with Bangkok based on “peace, cooperation, and mutual respect.” Prak also stressed sovereign equality as a fundamental principle of international relations.
他说:“《联合国宪章》没有为强国规定一套标准,为弱国规定另一套标准。”
“The (UN) Charter does not prescribe one standard for the powerful and another for the less powerful,” he said.
他补充道:“所有会员国,无论大小,在宪章面前一律平等,”并主张必须尊重国际法,通过和平手段解决争端。
“All member states, large or small, are equal before the charter,” he added, arguing that international law must be respected and disputes settled through peaceful means.
老挝联大发言 另外,老挝副总理兼外交部通沙万·蓬威汉在大会上表示,“深化互信始于对以联合国为核心的包容性多边主义的重新承诺。”
Laos' UN General Assembly address Separately, Laos’ Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Thongsavanh Phomvihane told the General Assembly that “deepening trust begins with renewed commitment to inclusive multilateralism, with the United Nations at its core.” “The question of Palestine remains an enduring test of multilateral credibility,” Thongsavanh said, voicing deep concern over the humanitarian catastrophe and reconstruction needs in Gaza.
通沙万说:“巴勒斯坦问题仍是对多边信誉的持久考验,”并对加沙的人道主义灾难和重建需求表示深切关切。

他警告不要让“两国方案”“遥不可及”,呼吁实现公正持久的和平,通过建立独立的巴勒斯坦国,保障巴勒斯坦人民的自决权。
Warning against allowing the two-state solution to “slip beyond reach,” he called for a just and lasting peace guaranteeing Palestinians’ right to self-determination through an independent state of Palestine.
他还呼吁立即无条件解除对古巴的单边强制措施,并将其从美国“支持恐怖主义国家”名单中移除。
He also called for the immediate and unconditional lifting of unilateral coercive measures on Cuba and its removal from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.
