立陶宛总统吉塔纳斯·瑙塞达周一表示,在日益增长的不确定性中,立陶宛即将担任的欧盟轮值主席国将致力于加强欧洲的安全与竞争力。
Lithuania’s upcoming EU presidency will focus on strengthening Europe’s security and competitiveness amid growing uncertainty, President Gitanas Nauseda said Monday.
他在雅典与希腊总理基里亚科斯·米佐塔基斯会晤,两位领导人在会谈后向记者发表了讲话。
He met with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens, with the two leaders addressing reporters after their talks.
瑙塞达表示,立陶宛将于2027年上半年担任欧盟理事会轮值主席国,这是讨论的主要议题之一。
Nauseda said his country’s presidency of the Council of the EU in the first half of 2027 was one of the main topics discussed.
“欧洲面临安全挑战和日益增长的不确定性。因此,我们的主席国任期将聚焦于让欧洲更强大、更安全,并提升其竞争力,”他说。
“Europe faces security challenges and growing uncertainty. Therefore, our presidency will focus on making Europe stronger and more secure and increasing its competitiveness,” he said.
据希腊公共广播公司ERT报道,米佐塔基斯表示,两位领导人讨论了由爱尔兰、立陶宛和希腊组成的欧盟轮值主席国三驾马车的联合计划。
Mitsotakis said the leaders discussed the joint program of the EU presidency trio comprising Ireland, Lithuania, and Greece, according to Greek public broadcaster ERT.
他说,这三个国家共同致力于建设一个自由、民主、强大、安全、繁荣且有竞争力的欧洲。
He said the three countries shared a commitment to a free, democratic, strong, secure, prosperous, and competitive Europe.
希腊总理表示,捍卫欧盟和北约成员国、特别是立陶宛和希腊等前线国家的主权和主权权利是一项共同责任。
The Greek premier stressed that defending the sovereignty and sovereign rights of EU and NATO members, particularly countries on the front line such as Lithuania and Greece, was a common responsibility.
他就立陶宛接连遭受混合攻击表达了希腊的“绝对声援”,并呼吁欧洲协调应对。
Expressing Greece’s “absolute solidarity” with Lithuania over successive hybrid attacks, he called for a coordinated European response.
他还提议开发欧洲联合技术以对抗无人机,强调需要更经济的方式来保护欧洲领空。
He also proposed developing joint European technologies to counter drones, stressing the need for more affordable ways to protect European airspace.
关于移民问题,米佐塔基斯表示,欧盟外部边界国家必须保护其边界,同时坚持其价值观并执行欧盟的《移民与庇护公约》。
On migration, Mitsotakis said countries along the EU’s external borders must protect their borders while upholding their values and implementing the bloc’s Pact on Migration and Asylum.
在讨论欧盟下一个长期预算谈判时,他说最初提议的资源不足以满足欧洲日益增长的雄心,并主张凝聚力是竞争力的先决条件。
Discussing negotiations on the EU’s next long-term budget, he said the resources initially proposed fell short of Europe’s growing ambitions, arguing that cohesion was a prerequisite for competitiveness.
米佐塔基斯还重申支持在乌克兰实现公正持久的和平,尊重其主权和领土完整,并包含可信的安全保障。
Mitsotakis also reiterated support for a just and lasting peace in Ukraine that respects its sovereignty and territorial integrity and includes credible security guarantees.
