渥太华,10月2日——据四位了解此次访问计划的消息人士透露,加拿大总理马克·卡尼计划于本月访问土耳其,与土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安举行会晤。这将是加拿大领导人首次专门对土耳其进行国事访问。
OTTAWA, Oct 2 - Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney plans to visit Turkey this month to meet President Tayyip Erdogan in what would be the first dedicated bilateral visit to the country by a Canadian leader, four sources with knowledge of the visit said.
其中一位消息人士称,卡尼与埃尔多安可能讨论今年7月在安卡拉举行的北约峰会期间启动的自由贸易谈判,以及能源与国防领域的潜在合作。另两位消息人士指出,本周加拿大与土耳其两国的贸易部长已达成共识,决定在两国领导人会晤前加快相关谈判进程。
One of the sources said Carney and Erdogan could discuss the free-trade talks they launched on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Ankara in July, as well as potential energy and defense cooperation. Canadian and Turkish trade ministers agreed this week to accelerate the talks ahead of the leaders' meeting, two sources said.
此次访问标志着卡尼又一次打破加拿大外交惯例。今年8月,加拿大与美国的贸易谈判宣告破裂,此后卡尼便致力于推动加拿大减少对最大贸易伙伴美国的依赖。
The visit would mark Carney's latest break with Canadian diplomatic convention as he seeks to reduce the country's reliance on the United States, by far its biggest trading partner, after a collapse in trade talks in August.
为应对贸易战,卡尼承诺在未来十年内将加拿大与非美国国家的贸易额翻一番,并迅速着手与多个国家建立联系,其中包括此前关系一度紧张的中国和印度。
TRADE WAR Carney has vowed to double Canada's non-US trade over the next decade and has rushed to establish ties with a host of countries, including China and India, with which it had past strains.
与前任领导人相比,卡尼较少提及人权议题,而是全力推进各项合作。多项民意调查显示,面对美国加征关税的压力,加拿大民众普遍支持他为振兴本国经济所作的努力。
He has focused less on human rights than his predecessors to forge ahead, backed by polls showing strong support among Canadians for his efforts to reinforce the economy in the face of US tariffs.
埃尔多安已执掌土耳其政权23年。人权组织批评他自2024年起对政治反对派实施打压。作为地区军事强国,土耳其的国防产业正快速发展,埃尔多安希望借此机会开拓新市场并寻求更多合作伙伴。他坚称独立的司法机构正在对反对派进行调查,并否认相关举措带有政治动机。
Erdogan, Turkey's leader of 23 years — whom rights groups have criticized for a crackdown on the political opposition since 2024 — seeks new markets and collaboration for the regional military power's burgeoning defense industry. Erdogan says an independent judiciary is probing the opposition and rejects claims it is politically motivated.
作为一个新兴市场经济体,土耳其的最大贸易伙伴是欧盟;该国也渴望在能源、基础设施及采矿业领域获得更多合作伙伴与投资。上述消息人士并未透露此次访问的具体日期与议程安排。目前,卡尼办公室与埃尔多安办公室尚未对相关问询作出回应。
Turkey, an emerging market economy whose biggest trading partner is the European Union, also seeks partnerships and investment in energy, infrastructure and mining. The sources did not share the dates or agenda of the visit planned later this month. Carney's office and Erdogan's office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
西方对土耳其人权问题的关注度下降随着土耳其成为重要的国防工业强国,并成为抵御俄罗斯侵略的屏障,西方国家在土耳其的人权问题上逐渐减少了批评声音。
LESS FOCUS ON RIGHTS Western powers have grown relatively silent on Turkey's rights record as it has become a leading defense-industrial power and a bulwark against Russian aggression.
自上月以来,土耳其的 LGBTQ+ 群体成为了一系列逮捕和限制措施的目标。土耳其政府称这些措施旨在保护儿童和家庭价值观,但此举遭到了人权组织及部分欧洲官员的强烈谴责。
Since last month, a wave of arrests and restrictions has targeted Turkey's LGBTQ+ community in a probe the government says aims to protect children and family values, but which has drawn sharp criticism from rights groups and some European officials.
近几十年来,尚未有加拿大总理单独访问过土耳其;不过,他们在由土耳其主办的多边会议(如北约和 G20 峰会)期间与埃尔多安等土耳其领导人会面过。
No Canadian prime minister is known to have made a standalone bilateral visit to Turkey in recent decades, though they have met Erdogan and other Turkish leaders on the sidelines of multilateral gatherings, including NATO and G20 summits hosted by Turkey.
有限的双边贸易往来在 7 月的北约峰会上,卡尼与埃尔多安正式启动了自由贸易协定的谈判。同月,土耳其同意加入由加拿大主导的“国防安全与韧性银行”(Defense Security and Resilience Bank),成为该银行的创始成员国之一。
MODEST BILATERAL TRADE At the NATO leaders' summit in July, Carney and Erdogan formally launched negotiations for a free-trade agreement. That month, Turkey agreed to join Canada's Defence Security and Resilience Bank as one of 10 founding member nations of Carney's multilateral "middle powers" bank.
根据加拿大政府的声明,两国贸易部长于 6 月会面,计划扩大在可再生能源和核能领域的合作;同时,双方还探讨了在航空航天、国防及安全领域的潜在合作机会。
The two countries' trade ministers met in June and planned to expand cooperation on renewable and nuclear energy, a Canadian government statement said, listing aerospace, defense and security as areas of potential new partnerships.
土耳其已与加拿大工程公司 AtkinsRealis、韩国的韩国电力公司(Korea Electric Power Corporation)以及中国的国家电力投资公司(State Power Investment Corporation)就建设第二和第三座核电站进行谈判;俄罗斯的 Rosatom 公司则负责土耳其首座核电站的建设。
Turkey has held talks with Canadian engineering firm AtkinsRealis as well as South Korea's Korea Electric Power Corporation and China's State Power Investment Corporation about potentially building its second and third nuclear power plants, and Russia's Rosatom is building its first.
AtkinsRealis 公司的一位高管告诉路透社,该公司拥有加拿大设计的 CANDU 核反应堆的独家许可权。该高管表示,预计在信息交流后,土耳其会完成对 CANDU 反应堆的初步评估,这可能为后续的核电站建设项目奠定基础。
An executive at AtkinsRealis, which holds the exclusive license for Canadian-designed CANDU reactors, told Reuters this year that it anticipates Turkey will complete an early review of its CANDU reactors following an information exchange, which may lead to concrete talks for a plant bid.
2024 年:双边关系有所改善作为改善双边关系的一项举措,加拿大解除了对土耳其的武器出口限制,其中包括用于无人机的技术——这些无人机被土耳其出口到数十个国家。
In a step that helped thaw bilateral ties in 2024, Canada removed weapons-export controls on Turkey, including on optical technology used in drones that Turkey exports to dozens of nations.
然而,双边贸易额仍然非常有限。根据加拿大统计局的数据,2025年土耳其在加拿大商品贸易总额中的占比不足0.3%,仅为43.4亿加元(30.5亿美元),而与美国的贸易额则高达1万亿加元。加拿大主要向土耳其出口扁豆、飞机和电子产品,同时从土耳其进口医疗设备、渔船、飞机发动机以及珠宝。
Yet bilateral trade is small. Turkey accounted for less than 0.3% of Canada's total merchandise trade in 2025, or C$4.34 billion ($3.05 billion), compared with C$1 trillion with the US, Statistics Canada data shows. Canada mainly exports lentils, aircraft and electronics to Turkey, and imports medical devices, fishing vessels, aircraft engines and jewelry.
