韩国周四对华盛顿单方面宣布其阿拉斯加液化天然气项目投资已敲定表示抗议，强调参与该项目仍取决于商业可行性和国内法律要求，据《韩国时报》报道。
South Korea on Thursday protested Washington’s unilateral announcement suggesting that its investment in the Alaska liquefied natural gas (LNG) project had been finalized, stressing that participation remains conditional on commercial viability and domestic legal requirements, according to The Korea Times.
产业通商资源部长官金正宽表示，在特朗普总统将阿拉斯加项目和八座核反应堆作为韩国战略投资方案的一部分提出后，他已向美国商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克提出这一问题。
Industry Minister Kim Jung-kwan said he raised the issue with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after President Donald Trump presented the Alaska project and eight nuclear reactors as part of South Korea’s strategic investment package.
金正宽对记者表示，美方的宣布超出了两国此前商定的范围，并称首尔方面仅承诺在商业可行性得到确认的前提下推进阿拉斯加项目。
Kim told reporters that the US announcement went beyond what the two countries had agreed, saying Seoul had committed to proceeding with the Alaska project only if its commercial viability was established.
金正宽称，卢特尼克承认了韩国的关切，并建议两国共同努力使该项目取得成功。
Lutnick acknowledged South Korea’s concerns and suggested both countries work to make the project successful, said Kim.
特朗普周三的宣布还包括位于美国得克萨斯州的一座燃气发电厂，首尔方面已将其确定为首个在双边投资框架下正式获批的项目。
Trump’s announcement Wednesday also included a gas-fired power plant in the American state of Texas, which Seoul has identified as the first formally approved project under the bilateral investment framework.
韩国产业通商资源部在一份声明中表示，两国同意开始审查阿拉斯加项目。是否推进将取决于是否满足投资备忘录中的商业合理性标准以及适用的国内法律条件。
South Korea’s Ministry of Trade, Industry and Resources said in a statement that the countries agreed to begin reviewing the Alaska project. A decision on proceeding would depend on meeting the investment memorandum’s commercial reasonableness standard and applicable domestic legal conditions.
拟议的开发项目包括一条将天然气从阿拉斯加北部输送至南部的管道以及一座液化天然气出口终端。
The proposed development involves a pipeline transporting natural gas from northern Alaska to the south and an LNG export terminal.
李在明总统另外在美国社交媒体平台X上表示，阿拉斯加项目必须证明其商业可行性并符合韩国法律程序。据《韩国时报》报道，每座核电站也需要进行各自的商业评估。
President Lee Jae Myung separately said on US social media platform X that the Alaska project must demonstrate commercial viability and comply with South Korean legal procedures. Each nuclear plant would also require its own commercial assessment, according to The Korea Times.
该部确认，具体核项目尚未最终确定。选址、项目结构和建设时间表在做出个别投资决定之前仍需进一步推进。
The ministry confirmed that specific nuclear projects have yet to be finalized. Sites, project structures and construction schedules will require further work before individual investment decisions.
根据商定的框架，计划建设两座韩国设计的APR1400反应堆和六座AP1000反应堆。与此同时获批的得克萨斯州项目则包括一个耗资223亿美元、装机容量为6472兆瓦的燃气发电厂，该电厂将为人工智能数据中心供电，目标是在2029年开始初步运营，并于2032年全面投入运营。
The agreed framework envisages two South Korean-designed APR1400 reactors and six AP1000 reactors. Meanwhile, the approved Texas project comprises a $22.3 billion, 6,472-megawatt gas-fired plant supplying AI data centers, with initial operations targeted for 2029 and full operation for 2032.
据该部透露，首尔还获得了每年200亿美元的投资上限以及总计2000亿美元的投资总额上限。
Seoul also secured an annual investment ceiling of $20 billion and an overall cap of $200 billion, according to the ministry.
