外交部长苏杰生表示,来自印度邻国的恐怖主义是新德里最关切的问题之一,如果合作伙伴不能充分理解或重视这一点,将会影响双边关系。他在纽约亚洲协会举办的一场特别对话会上发表上述言论,主题涉及印美关系,当时第81届联合国大会高级别周会议于周一刚刚结束。
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said that terrorism coming from India’s neighbour is one of New Delhi’s primary concerns, and if its partners do not fully understand or appreciate that, it affects bilateral ties. He made the remarks while speaking about India-US relations at a special conversation hosted by the Asia Society in New York as the high-level week of the 81st session of the UN General Assembly ended on Monday.
苏杰生的言论是在近几个月印美关系因关税、贸易、印度采购俄罗斯能源以及美国重新与巴基斯坦接触而出现动荡的背景下发表的。当被问及需要发生什么才能让关系步入“更好的轨道”时,他说印度希望关系向前发展,但补充称两国面临的问题必须得到解决。
Jaishankar’s comments came against the backdrop of turbulence in India-US ties in recent months over tariffs, trade, Russian energy purchases by Delhi and Washington’s renewed engagement with Pakistan. Asked what would need to happen to put the relationship on a “better track”, he said India hoped ties would move forward but added that the issues before the two countries had to be addressed.
在这场由前美国外交官、亚洲协会政策研究所资深研究员丹尼尔·拉塞尔主持的对话中,苏杰生表示:“我想,如果我退后一步来审视这段关系……我注意到,世界上许多国家与美国的关系都更加困难。这或许算不上安慰,但这是现实。”随后,他提到了各自的敏感点,暗示了近期美巴关系的升温。
During the conversation, moderated by former American diplomat and Asia Society Policy Institute distinguished fellow Daniel Russel, Jaishankar said, “Well, I think if I stand back and look at the relationship,... I note that much of the world has had a more difficult relationship with the US. I mean that may not be a consolation, but that’s a reality.”He then referred to what he described as the sensitivities of each country, while alluding to the recent upswing in US-Pakistan ties.
苏杰生说:“对我们印度而言,特别重要的是恐怖主义问题。我们认为……作为一个国家,或许很少有国家像我们这样,在几十年间长期遭受来自邻国的、蓄意的、有预谋的政策性恐怖主义袭击。”他补充道:“如今,如果对我们如此重要的事情,缺乏足够的理解、重视或共情,我认为这也会制造问题。要知道如果……我的主要关切之一未得到合作伙伴的充分重视,那么显然这会对关系产生影响。”印度与美国的关系在唐纳德·特朗普第二任期开始仅几个月内便面临紧张,分歧还涉及贸易和关税。
Jaishankar said, “What for us in India is particularly important is the issue of terrorism. That we feel that...as a country perhaps there are very few countries which have been subjected to the kind of terrorism that we have from a neighbour as part of a deliberate, conscious policy over many, many decades.”He added, “Now, if something which matters so deeply to us, there isn’t enough understanding or appreciation or empathy of that, I think that creates a problem too. That you know if... one of my primary concerns is not fully appreciated by my partner, then clearly there is an impact of that on the relationship.”The India-US relationship has faced strain just months into the second Donald Trump administration, with differences also linked to trade and tariffs.
去年5月,印度发动“辛杜尔行动”,打击巴基斯坦及巴基斯坦控制的克什米尔地区的恐怖基础设施,此前于4月22日,查谟-克什米尔地区的帕哈尔加姆发生恐怖袭击,由巴基斯坦“虔诚军”代理组织“抵抗阵线”实施,造成26名平民(多为游客)死亡。
In May last year, India launched Operation Sindoor targeting terror infrastructure in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir after the April 22 terror attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, carried out by The Resistance Front, a proxy of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, in which 26 civilians, mostly tourists, were killed.
去年全年以及上周在联合国大会上的演讲中,特朗普声称他阻止了印巴冲突,印度一贯否认这一说法,表示不存在第三方干预。
Throughout last year and again in his address to the UN General Assembly last week, Trump claimed that he stopped the conflict between India and Pakistan, a claim India has consistently denied, saying there was no third-party intervention.
贾伊尚卡尔还提到,过去一年华盛顿与伊斯兰堡的接触引发关注。去年6月,特朗普在从加拿大卡纳纳斯基斯G7领导人峰会返回后——印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪也出席了该峰会——在白宫午宴上款待巴基斯坦陆军元帅阿西姆·穆尼尔。
Jaishankar also spoke as Washington’s contacts with Islamabad drew attention over the past year. In June last year, after returning from the G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis, Canada, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi also attended, Trump hosted Pakistan Field Marshal Asim Munir for lunch at the White House.
去年9月联大期间,巴基斯坦总理夏巴兹·谢里夫和穆尼尔再次在白宫会见特朗普,特朗普多次公开赞扬穆尼尔,称其为“伟大的将军、伟大的元帅、了不起的家伙”。
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Munir later met Trump again at the White House during the UN General Assembly session in September last year, and Trump publicly praised Munir on several occasions, calling him a “Great General. Great Field Marshal, a great guy.”
在双边关系的总结发言中,贾伊尚卡尔表示:“我们当然希望并期待印美关系呈上升轨迹。但我必须实事求是地面对我们遇到的问题,只要我们能在其中一些问题上取得进展,我认为关系会更好。”印度新闻社供稿- 结束
Closing his remarks on the bilateral relationship, Jaishankar said, “we would certainly hope for and expect the (India-US) relationship to move on an upward trajectory. But I have to be real about the issues that we confront, and to the extent we are able to move ahead on some of these issues, I think we’ll have a better relationship.”With PTI Inputs- Ends
