埃及总统阿卜杜勒-法塔赫·锡西周六呼吁,应优先和平解决非洲的冲突和危机,支持国家机构并尊重国家主权。
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi called Saturday for prioritizing peaceful solutions to conflicts and crises in Africa, supporting state institutions and respecting state sovereignty.
锡西在周五于埃及北部城市新阿拉曼开幕的阿拉曼非洲论坛开幕式上表示:“经济发展不可能建立在动荡不安的国家之上。稳定并非奢侈品,而是投资者、制造商和农众所追求的基本支柱,使他们能够在安全的环境中开展业务。”
“Economic development cannot be built in unstable countries, and stability is not a luxury but a fundamental pillar sought by investors, manufacturers and farmers so they can operate in a safe environment," Sisi said in his opening speech at the Alamein Africa Forum that opened on Friday in the northern Egyptian city of New Alamein.
他补充说:“在整个非洲大陆,我们深知,安全始于支持国家及其机构,尊重国家统一和主权,优先以和平方式解决冲突和危机,并坚持睦邻友好原则。”
“Across our African continent, we fully understand that security begins with supporting the national state and its institutions, respecting its unity and sovereignty, prioritizing peaceful solutions to conflicts and crises, and upholding the principle of good neighborliness," he added.
为期三天的论坛汇集了来自非洲的1500名官员、商业领袖、投资者和金融机构代表,重点讨论经济发展和大陆一体化等议题。
The three-day forum brings together 1,500 officials, business leaders, investors and representatives of financial institutions from Africa, and features sessions focused on economic development and continental integration.
锡西表示,非洲私营部门是非洲经济的主要驱动力,贡献了非洲国内生产总值的70%以上。
Sisi said Africa’s private sector is the main driver of the continent’s economies, contributing more than 70% of its gross domestic product.
这位埃及总统还表示,非洲私营部门约85%的交易是与非洲大陆以外的企业进行的。
About 85% of transactions by Africa’s private sector are conducted with companies from outside the continent, the Egyptian president added.
锡西说,尽管非洲国家之间签署了贸易协定并推出了优惠安排,但近年来,非洲内部贸易仅占非洲大陆贸易总额约18%。
Despite trade agreements and preferential arrangements among African countries, intra-African trade has accounted for only about 18% of the continent’s total trade in recent years, Sisi said.
谈及国际局势,锡西表示,非洲大陆期望拥有一个“以和平与稳定为特征的世界,而不是被迫承担全球危机的后果。这些危机非洲并未参与其中,却承受了其消极影响”。他以当前能源危机为例,指出燃料和化肥价格上涨以及供应链和运输链中断对非洲国家造成的影响。
On international developments, Sisi said the African continent aspires for “a world characterized by peace and stability, rather than being made to bear the consequences of global crises in which it was not a party but whose negative repercussions it suffers.”He cited the current energy crisis as an example, pointing to the impact of rising fuel and fertilizer prices, and disruptions to supply and shipping chains on African countries.
去年2月,亚的斯亚贝巴非洲联盟峰会批准每两年在新阿拉曼举办一次阿拉曼非洲论坛。埃及正在与非洲进出口银行和非洲联盟开发署合作组织该论坛。
Last February, the African Union summit in Addis Ababa approved holding the Alamein Africa Forum every two years in New Alamein. Egypt is organizing the forum in cooperation with the African Export-Import Bank and the African Union Development Agency.
